Annapurna Circuit Trek PART THREE: Thorung La pass

[trek2nepal]

This is real image of Nepal . visit once is not enough , i did more than 20 times , still i love to do this trek.

[sujinaman]

it's simply the best man>>>>

[sujinaman]

@vickizspace Hey these all three trek is the best around the world ...from Annapurna Base camp you can have view of almost 360 degree , mountains all around you and While doing Annapurna Circuit, it's quite challenging and it's beautiful, Everest Base camp is also the best and challenging so i could say go for Annapurna base camp/ Annapurna Circuit coz Everest Base camp is a lot expensive than these.... if u need any further information please free my mail add is amirsuijan@gmail.com

@vickizspace Don't know anything about the organized groups. Maybe lurk around on Lonely Planet's Thorntree and see what people recommend. Good luck!

[Vagabonding]

@vickizspace Annapurna Circuit! Go halfway, from Besisahar to Jomsom and fly back to Pokhara. Amazing trip.

If you've got time, go on your own and work things out when you get to Pokhara. You'll meet people to trek with, and you can arrange guides/translators/porters no problem. If you don't have time, book ahead. But you never quite know what you're getting that way -- and you'll pay a lot more.

Mountain dog lived on to greet many other travelers. Maybe you'll see him too! :)

Lovely video. We are planning to do this in the coming October. We plan to go from Besisahar to Jomsom and fly back to Pokhara. What do you suggest? Should we do the whole thing? How would you describe the part from Jomsom to Pokhara? Would appreciate a quick response - as we have to plan for it soon. Thanks!

[Vagabonding]

@kadekodi1 I think that's a great plan and that is 100% what I would do if I were doing it all over again.

That part of the trek was really lovely, with amazing villages and scenery. Thorung La pass is challenging, awful at times, and totally amazing. Coming down from the pass is euphoria. Jomson is really cool. But, honestly, after that, I was over it. The villages between Jomson and Pokhara were more developed and less interesting. And the walk was brutal - steps galore. Painful anticlimax.

@Vagabonding Thanks a lot for the quick response. I will share it with our team :-)

@kadekodi1 this is amir....from nepal While doing Annapurna circuit it's always better to start from beshishar/ bhulbule and should have the rest day in manang ...it helps you to acclimatize with the altitude and surroundings ...It's better to take a flight from jomsom to pokhara rather taking a trail coz it's nothing in between jomsom to beni yes there is few places u can visit(kalapani, ghasa, marpha). if u need i can send you detail itinerary my email add is : amirsuijan@gmail.com

[MissJocelynne]

2:00 omg its MD! (mountain dog) I read about him online XD

[JuneauWoman]

I sell a on how to do this trek independently. Find it on eBay by searching “Annapurna Circuit DVD”. Check it out. Cristina

[level2seven]

Do you have portors on the trek? What do you do for food and water?

[Vagabonding]

@level2seven We did have one guide/porter who carried a bit of stuff for the four of us and acted as interpreter and so on. For food we ate at teahouses, or small restaurants that dot the trail. Water we purified with iodine tablets or bought from purification stations along the way. Easy peasy.

[hillsidebunnies]

Did the circuit in October 2001 when I was 53 & my hubby was 57. It was the most AMAZING trip. Thought we did ok for a granny & grandad Ha ha

[Vagabonding]

@hillsidebunnies Awesome to hear you did it! I plan to go back some day with my kids or something, and you give me hope I can do it again!

[halkiod]

the video is awesome...and the music, makes it out of this world! thanx Vagabonding for the share.

[Caynisfud]

wish i could get back there next year!!! miss nepal so much! :)

[xfire7]

Bet the shins were burning on the decent

[Vagabonding]

@xfire7 Oh yeah. And hell on the knees too. My advice to even the strongest of hikers: bring those stretchy cloth knee braces you can buy at drug stores.

[bubblezen]

Amazing trip, you are brave men. Gotta love the mountain dog! I will certainly follow in your footsteps. Now for a very western question: what soundtrack is that? REALLY COOL.

[Vagabonding]

@bubblezen Thanks man! The soundtrack is made up of tracks from Innerstance Beatbox, Roommates, and Signaldrift - all bands on my friend's label Wobblyhead.

[TheAmazingFuturist]

You shouldn't touch the dog, it could have had rabies.

[hnsrikanth]

Nice video ! and yeah briliant dancing on the mountain pass :)

[alagacharya]

thanks,

its a great job u did by publishing such kind of nice trek video, really appreciate.

keep it up

thanks once again,

[frankbough1955]

hahaha Looked like you were having sex with mountain dawg at 2.51

[duggudoll]

did you trek in the namche area around the mt.everest base camp???..its goood!!!

[JJ9782]

What month did you do the annapurna? We did annapurna in 15 days during the month of june. We went counter-clockwise as well.

haha....that same dog followed us as well.

I'd so love to do this trek again.

[Vagabonding]

We did it in springtime - April.

Yeah, I'd love to do the trek again too. I'll go counter-clockwise again, cross the Thorung La, and then fly back from Jomsom. (The rest of the walk after Jomsom was overkill for me.)
