It is really a non touristic area but we can see significant views of Mt. Everest, Makalu, and hundreds of other mountains just on your eye. Sherpa, Rai and Limbus are the main inhabitants of this region. The Arun Valley, east of Everest, leading to Makalu Base Camp is least visited by tourists like Nepal’s far west. Trek to Makalu can be cut short by taking direct flight to Tumlingtar, a small village located on a plateau. The trek from Tumlingtar at barely 390m to Makalu Base Camp at 4,800m is a long and arduous as vast range in temperatures is confronted, from steamy in the lowlands to snow storms at high altitude.

Walking north up the Arun river to Sedua and Num, then crossing Barun La(4110m.)into the upper Barun khola valley for a close look at Makalu. You can put together an even wilder trek by crossing Sherpani Col and west Col into the upper Hongu valley. The highest point of this trek is Salpa Bhanjyang and also we can visit Hindu holy call Lake Salpa holy Lake(3414 m.). This is a marvelous and easy trek for trekkers who do not want to encounter a mass influx of tourists on the trail but equally enjoy beautiful scenarios of valleys, splendid views of silvery mountains. The tempting views of Arun river and valleys can be seen on the way of trekking terrain.

This region is blessed with an incredible diversity of natural beauty and culture. Due to its isolation and lack of tea houses this area still receives few trekkers. Sherpa, Rai and Limbus are main habitants in this area.

Annapurna circuit trekking reviews

In 2000 Ad, we been in the Annapurna circuit Nepal. At that time there was no road extension like today and all the circuit of the Annapurna plus ghorepani  took 21 days. People can finished the Annapurna circuit with Jomsom trekking within 16 days. It  was called Annapurna half circuit trekking. Mainly we did from the lower pisang trekking than upper  pisang in the previous days. In the thorong phedi or base camp there was only one tea houses , and many travelers has a obligation to stay there and many trekking guide got a food  after the trekkers eat. There are many queue for the for the dhal bhat after 8 or 9 pm. To pass throng la from down took 7 hours and before muktinath there was no chances to eat food if they have no biscuit and snacks  they have to pass the hungry  days. In the Manang village of the Annapurna circuit trail there are many Bhattis for Dhal bhat and drinking  local wine called Roxi. Many trekking guide enjoy , singing and talking there for celebration the trekking in Annapurna circuit. Mainly in manang village  there are rest day for the trekkers  and every 3 pm there are high altitude lecture by the doctor. Amazing speech and ideas to trek up to the throng la and nutrition and ideas of taking the medicine.  Mainly throng la is the main goal in the Annapurna circuit trekking which is 5416 m height from the sea level. Throng la pass is the highest trekking pass in the world , people feel glorious to pass that. Down form the throng la to the muktinath take a 4 hours  and 1700 m down. After passing the chame,district headquarter. Now a days it is option all the bus to the Beni and pokhara or walking down from Muktinath. Kalaigandaki valley is very awesome  and beautiful. Between Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayan ranges there are windy Kaligandaki valley up to the Kobang and tukuche  when walk down form the Muktinath. Tatopani is the main attraction after throng la and muktinath, after that up to ghorepani or Annapurna base camp  or directly back to pokhara is the choice point after Annapurna circuit trekking Nepal. 

Recent Annapurna circuit trekking itinerary:
Because of the newly opening roads and facility  to Jeep from Benshishar to Chame there are some disturbance the itinerary of the Annapurna circuit trekking.

Similarly after passing Throng la there are road facility by jeep and bus to Beni, so it is trekkers Choice keep on trekking or ride a bus or some parts trekking. Because of this region starting point of the Annapurna circuit  trekking and Ending point of the Annapurna trekking is no fixed , it become choices.

My last Annapurna circuit trek and Throng la pass

I make the Timms card and got a Annapurna conservation entry fee through my trekking agency document. Since  1 years I have not been in Annapurna circuit so I like to go Annapurna circuit with Lisha Hafner who become our Guest in our Home stay in Kathmandu Nepal. I briefing about the Annapurna circuit route, My experience in Annapurna circuit also I display the detail itinerary map. Then Lisa decided to book Annapurna circuit trek with me for 15 days.  As a Annapurna circuit trekking Guide I walk with Lisha to the Annapurna circuit trek. I had a difference interest and courage because since many months I did not trek at that areas of the Annapurna circuit.

2012 April I been to Annapurna circuit treks with Lisa Hafner who is from Italy. She booked 15 days for Annapurna circuit with me. Same day we ride a jeep to Sange from Benshiar then next day we trek to Tal from Sange. In Tal there are great rain then we decided to stay in tal. We also meet other trekkers in Tal, then we had a chances to chatting with them. In that trip we meet fellow travellers at Tal. Now a days Tal become off road from the Bus journey and there are purpose the Dam side of the upper Gandaki hydropower. Tal itself flat places with falls, river basin of marshayandi river. This time trekkers take jeep to Dharpani from Benishar but we still recommendation go to trek via Bahundada and tal if you like to follow the old route of the Annapurna circuit. From 2013 Ad  jeep road opened  to Chame, the district headquarters of Manang district.

We stayed upper pisang at hotel  pisang , we have chances to meet many other travellers trekkers, than we visit in Tal and Dharapani. We had great night talking and sharing experience with many other trekekrs.  We did not walk up via upper pisang , we follow the route Via Humde village to Manang. Other people follow the routes upper pisang and same day they arrive manang and catch up us. We stay the same fellow Annapurna circuit trekkers  at Hotel  Tilicho in Manang district manang. We rest next day  at Manang village(3500m). Generally manang  is one of the rest day itinerary in Annapurna circuit trek Nepal. There was altitude sickness wariness orientation  after 3 Pm. We look around Gannapurna lakes, enjoy the look around the Manang hills, visit 100 Rupees lama , just vertical up  from Manang Bazzar. Next day we walked 4 hours to the Yak kharka from Manang , stay at Maya Hotel Yak kharka. Next day we take a launch at Throng phedi  and trek to the High camp. I give special information to Lisa Hafner about  staying high camp or Throng phedi. In my experience I recommendation to stay in High camp rather staying in the Thorng phedi. It is difference 400 m, and possible to walk down if feel difficult. In the cases of the throng phedi, if  some body sick they have to back Chauri Ledar. To digest the high altitude we recommendation walking from the upper pisang and staying one night in Nwar village. Then next night Manang no need to rest at the case of staying Nwar one Night. Some people stay at Throng phedi but they could not come because of the headache. After passing Throng la and reach to the Muktinath we know this reality. From Muktinath we walked to the marpha that took more than 8 hours because we also visit kagbeni  just 2 hours down  from Muktinath. From Marpha we ride a Bus to Tatopani. We enjoy the hot spring at the Tatopani then next day we  travel to pokhara by bus.

Cave of upper mustang in Chosaer, site trip from Lomangthang on the day of rest. 

My experience about the upper mustang:

Upper mustang a imaginary cultural Tibetan destination in Nepal. At the time of the beginning my carrier as a trekking guide , I heard about this trip. Things was  about 2000 Ad. In the surface level I see four trekkers who  are back on the way to up upper mustang trekking. I know the Guide  was contemporary guide of that trekking agency. I did not have license even lack of Guide , I have chances to become a guide. There was Guide, cook, porter  and all the management tent other accessory things. I was curious why they are back from the on the way to mustang trekking. I only heard jomsom also mustang. Later I know mustang district Barrier from Beni  tatopani (magdi)from Ghasa and depart the upper mustang from Kagbeni , a police check post for checking the permit of the upper mustang. Porter of that group ( I was guide that time)become today successful business of trekking and now I see they are active member of Trekking agent association of Nepal(TAAN). Boss of the trekking agency who managed the upper mustang trek very angry to the porter  and cook because of their drunkard and noisy behavior the trip of mustang cancelled from the way. Like now a days that time was not tea house in upper mustang plus there is a system have to compulsion to sent a Government officer in a upper mustang because it is restriction areas. Trekking upper mustang was expensive because of extra government official, cook, porter  and all organize group. This time I personally happy elimination  of the legion officer system and facility to the tea houses most of the trekking areas of Nepal.

I use to ask other fellow trekkers about the geography of the upper mustang. Some body told me it is resembles like a Annapurna base camp, some body  given another example. To say very honest I been upper mustang on 16 September 2015. Can you imagine? I had long dream since 200 A.D. but time did not favors.  It is wonderful I thought myself it took 15 years been to the upper mustang lomanthang a cultural kingdom of local king.  I  did try many times to go upper mustang , because I been many times jomsom muktianth trip and Annapurna circuit treks. After passing the throng la I used to meet many trekkers  who are going to upper mustang. Once time I meet the person who  are going to make a documentary about the Tiji festival. He was not frank like other trekkers. I realize he have a promising mission of that trip to lomangthang for Documentary. Like every person certainly  his heart hide a great ambition to success and popular his documentary of upper mustang.

My Trip to upper mustang on September 16, 2015, photos taken in Choser(site trip from Lomangthang)

How I get a Chance to go upper mustang 2015

We did Dhaulagari circuit trekking in a post monsoon season 2015. We started  September 3,2015 and and finished 2015 on sept 2015. We finished at Marpha Dhaulagiri circuit trek then I grabbed the chances to go upper mustang trekking. I heard upper mustang trekking have a jeep riding facility. Then  I used my certain time to glance the upper mustang and imaginary kingdom of Lomangthang. Before upper mustang trekking I need help by the map to give reply of the inquiry for the customer. Two inquiry I give asking the fellow trekking agency  friend. So that as a point of business view it is  very important to go upper mustang.  I become to happy at the beginning of journey of upper mustang. For the Nepali people no need timms card, Annapurna conservation area entry fee and expensive upper mustang trek. Actually Nepali trekkers save $540 usd because they have no pay the restriction permit of upper mustang.  I thinking this so I did not feel the private and solo trek myself to the upper mustang. By chance I got jeep from jomsom mustang to Chusang. Even I like to walk from kagbeni it was getting late. I pay Rs. 3565 NPR for the jeep to Chusang. OH! Very nice views of  Red mud hills around Chusang. I meet local villager, Government workers, police man and some trekkers tourist.

iam in the office in Kathmandu

Next morning I woke up  and planning to go upper mustang by jeep. First jeep was 8 A.M. I was still confusion the jeep route follow the original trekking route and village of upper mustang. I pay Rs. 1500 NPR for committee jeep which is leave at 8 P.M. One jeep took me 20 minutes disntace and I get down for another jeep which is another site of the River. There is no  bridge for jeep just bridge for man. This is just down to Chele. Then jeep drive up to Chele village but from Chele village jeep route is another site of the le Gekar. Jeep driver told me local  people of Chele and Gekar enemy because of the water  drain. Chele people force to construction road another far from the Gekar. Because of this route of the jeep very long and dangerous between samar and chele village. I see number of trekkers pass the original route just above the Gekar. Jeep driver stop jeep at samar , we had tea and coffee at the Hotel himalai in samar. I told them I come just to look the group for the future trekkers. Hotel owners of samar donot charge the money of tea and coffee for me because they want  future customer from me. We had just two people from Chusang to samar. One person who work at local village samar and chusang , get down in Samar. One Buddhist boy ride a jeep from Samar , again we become two people. Routes of  the jeep follows just above the samar. After Samar village we again change the jeep  near vena  tea break point. I see one driver who had cow boy hat , who wait us to carry to Lomangthang.

Beautiful landscape of upper mustang

        I was amuse to take a photo of the landcape, route and village of the upper mustang. I was front site of the jeep, then that makes easy to take a picture very easily. Then jeep move up and down to the village synbouchen. From Synabouche just 2 minutes stop jeep for handed the things. Again little bit up and down the jeep to the village of Gilling. Driver still did not stop the jeep because he like to stop in the Charang village. Gilling is the first village I see big from Chusang. There was red mud monastery at the lap of red mud hills in the Gilling. Village was typical, scenic  and interesting. Then jeep move up from the Gilling  village and reach at the top point of the Gilling. We see bicycle trekkers and some group of trekekrs slowly up and down. After some time jeep countious to the Ghami tea house village of upper mustang. Hours by  hours landscape was very nice, amusing and fascinating me. Ghami has long mani walls , I see Japanese hospital another side of the small brook of Ghami. After Ghami again jeep climb up and reach at the top again down to the village of Charang. We had nice and excellent launch at Charang. Local villagers were repairing the  Chinese motorbike, air was little thin and meet the grouping local people there. I take a rice curry and meat which is cost Rs. 320 NPR. Very tasty mountain goat meat and nice tuburoug Beer which is unbeliable cheap prices compare to jomsom, pokhara and Kathmandu. Beer cost rs. 320 NPR even upper mustang is remote from there. Iam conscious about the altitude sickness because I was directly jeep to up whining 4 hours from Chusang. But I had confidence I did Dhampus peak , French pass, Dhaulagiri base camp. So I move my mentality to the views of  landscape culture and asking about the way to go Damodar kunda. Local people of Chusang says there are many holy man go to Damodar kunda from Charang to via luri village. I become more impressive from this. Because   Damodar kund is the sources of the water of Holy kali Gandarki  River.
