Day 7: Acclimatization at Ngawal (3-5 hours acclimatization Hike)
Stop At: Annapurna Region, Annapurna Region, Gandaki Zone, Western Region
Instead of acclimatizing at crowded Manang, I find it far more better to acclimatize at Ngawal. Probably, I am only the guide doing this and this idea has become really successful (also highly recommended by my previous clients) to avoid the so-called crowd in Annapurna Circuit in Peak season like Oct-Nov. We will climb up a small mountain above Ngawal village for Acclimatization. With the verticle climb of around 500 mtrs from Ngawal, we can have the fantastic view comparative to the Acclimatization made from Manang with verticle climb of around 1000 mtrs. Also there will be very less people in our trail. The mountain we hike is an open grassland for mountain goats called Blue Sheeps.
We will return back for lunch at Ngawal after the hike. Then we will have the overnight in same guest house.

Stop At: Annapurna Mountain Range, 33500 Nepal
We donโt have pre-planned overnight at Manang. If you want to stay there, no problem. But few more days upto Muktinath will be crowd if you stay at Manang.
Today we will trek through Braga Village and Manang. We will visit 400 yrs old Braga Monastery on your interest and have lunch at Manang. We wonโt find almost any trekkers today on the way although Oct. is a peak seson for this trek. Then we will trek nearly 2 hours from Manang to reach Gunsang. From my feelings, Gunsang has the most beautiful view of Mountains in the whole circuit. Gunsang is offlocation for most of the trekkers for overnight. It will be very quiet tonight.
Duration: 7 hours

I canโt guarentee about private rooms for today since the area has limited rooms, no phone signals to make pre bookings and most of the trekkers stay here for overnight. However there wonโt be problems for dormitories.

Today is the challanging day for making the Worldโs Highest Mountain Pass (Thorong-la) out of the recognised trekking trails. I have mentioned the trekking level moderate, averaging all the day treks and from the views of many trekkers who have done it.
Today we have to start the trek before around 2 hrs of sunrise time after having early breakfast. It will take 4 hours to reach the top for normal trekkers and 4 hours getting down to Muktinath with lunch break.
After the pass we will end Manang district and enter Mustang district which has totally different nature and views that we had seen till the pass. We will have a beautiful hotel in Muktinath with good shower facilities and fire place.

Day 11: Muktinath(~3700m) -Kaagbeni(~2850m)/ 9.4 km Totally downhill
Stop At: Kagbeni, Nepal
Today we will trek to Kagbeni from Muktinath after breakfast. We will reach Kagbeni at around 12:00 pm. Its all the way downhill to Kagbeni. Muktinath and Kagbeni are the places of high religious values for Hindus and Buddhists. They are highly touristy for both religious & non religious visitors and more civilized than all the previous places we had stayed during this trek. These areas get big winds after the mid day. Hence its difficult to trek beyond 12:00 pm.
IMPORTANT:
If you have less time, we can finish our trek at Muktinath and drive to Pokhara without staying at Kagbeni.
If any body from the group wants to separate from Muktinath, its also possible. Our trek ends at Marpha, 1 more overnight after Kagbeni and then 1 day drive to Pokhara.
