Itinerary description
|
Possibly this Trekking is the most popular in Nepal. And one of the most popular in the world. The complete trekking covers about 260 km. It begins in the village of Besi Sahar and ends in Bhirentani. It has one of the highest mountain passes in the world. It is a mountain pass with a pass called "Thorong La" at an altitude of 5,416 meters.
The trekking is impressive. With spectacular landscapes, nature and mountain, beautiful villages with a special charm, its people and their customs, the good atmosphere with other walkers who are also doing the trekking, .....
If you want to complete the Trekking walking you should use between 14 and 18 days. It must be taken into account that you can also lose some day for various reasons: adverse weather conditions, fatigue, acclimatization or symptoms of altitude sickness, mild illness (diarrhea, ...), ....
During the trek to the hotels or accommodations they are called "guest-house".
It must be taken into account when doing the Trekking which is a moderate difficulty route if you are used to the mountain. It must be borne in mind, that it is a high mountain route, in which the meteorological changes can be very abrupt. You can also find extreme rains, snow, strong winds, intense fogs, extreme cold, .........
In our case we are hot almost every day. A day of intense fog during the first two hours of the morning. A day of very strong winds especially in the early afternoon. And a day of moderate rain. The truth is that in meteorology we were very lucky.
Being a moderate route, it is suitable for all audiences. If you are not used to the mountain, or hiking for several days, do not have knowledge of orientation in the mountains (GPS and maps), if physically you are not very apt to make a trek of so many days with the backpack at your back, ...... MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT YOU CONTRACTS A GUIDE, A PORTA (carrier to carry your backpack) OR BOTH.
The route can be adapted to your times, physical condition, desire, ..... you can start later picking up Jeep you can get to Manang and you can finish much earlier, from Ranipauwa / muktinath you can take buses.
- When starting the route you can go by Jeep to Chame or even to Manang. Going to Chame is about 8 hours of travel by the type of road that the Jeep drives. So I guess if you want to go to Manang, you should go in two days, since I do not think it would take time to arrive in one.
- Once past the "Thorong La" in Rapiauwa / Muktinath many people (approximately 80%) finish the route in this place. Taking a bus to Pokhara (which passes through large towns such as Jomsom, Beni and Pokhara) or taking a bus to Jomson, then take a plane from Jomsom to Pokhara.
We complete 60 km in Jeep to complete the circuit, 58 km in MTB and 164 km on foot. All this in 12 days.

.................................................. .................................................. ......
MATERIAL
The necessary material would be the following:
- Backpack 45 liters to 65 liters with waterproof book covers (Ideally, the weight of the backpack does not exceed 10% of your weight). When you weigh it at home, keep in mind that some clothes you will wear and that you will have to add between one kilo and one kilo and a half for the following objects (bottle of water, toilet paper and some food: a snack or something similar)
- windbreaker windbreaker
- Intermediate garment (fleece or technical jacket, ...)
- Thermal shirt.
- Short T-shirt (ideally 3, two for trekking and another for pajamas)
- Long pants.
- Shorts.
- Meshes (thermal and normal or pirates). These would be used in addition to pajamas.
- Socks (2 normal pairs and one polar pair).
- Gloves.
- Front (lantern)
- Cap.
- Sunglasses.
- Hat.
- Braga or bandana for the neck.
- Complete raincoat (jacket and trousers).
- Mountain boots (highly recommended to be waterproof)
- Comfortable flip flops for showering and staying in hotels. The "Crocs" (shoes of Frank of the Jungle) are a good option. (You can shower with them, they dry quickly and you can put some socks to be with them in the hotel.
- Towel (if it is better microfiber, less space and less weight)
- First aid kit: Stuff for blisters, plasters and bandages. Pills against diarrhea and probiotic serum. Analgesics (Ibuprofen / Parancetamol). Anti-inflammatories (diclofenac). Bandages and tape. Thermal blankets. Gauze and antiseptic (betadine) monodosis, ........
- Underwear.
- Bag
- Sunscreen and lipstick.
- Map of the area (I bought it in an ACAP office for 100 rupees nepalis = 0.83 €)
OPTIONAL
- Canes or sticks? I did take them.
- Windbreaker? I did, but you may be able to make do with the windbreaker and the raincoat.
- Leggings? They would be useful only if there was a lot of snow during one or two stages. In our case we did not wear, and we had thought if that situation were to put on our waterproof trousers.
- Sleeping bag? I do not recommend it, since it is an extra weight and they give you blankets in all the hotels. What we carried was a sheet of 1.50 meters sewn as if it were a sack for hygiene. We anyway always asked if they had blankets before they stayed, but they always had.
We also had thermal blankets (for emergencies, but we also had plans to use them if we were very cold in a hotel.) We did not have to use them at any time.
- Winter pants? In principle one or two days would be used nothing more. And it is an extra weight. My idea in case of having been cold was to put on the following clothes: thermal mesh, normal tights, long pants and rain pants.
- External batteries? We took but we did not need, there was electricity in all the hotels (In Thorong Pedi was paid 200 rupees = 1, € 66).
- GPS? We carried but the way is very evident.
- Compass? We carried too. But as I said the way was obvious.
- Pen?

EAT AND SLEEP
To sleep there is a wide variety of accommodation.
We had no problem finding accommodation. What's more, every day when we arrived at the town where we wanted to sleep we would go around the town, to see the lodgings, ask for a price and stay where we were more convinced.
Normally, except at high altitude, if you had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, they left the room for free. That yes, you had to say it, if not they did not offer it to you. They told us that in high season, as there are more hikers, you may not get free sleep, and the prices would be close to 500 nepalis Rupees (€ 4.15).
Lodging services:
- Water: Everyone had cold water to shower and refill bottles to make drinkable and drinkable. (In Thorong Pedi there was water but no showers, you could wash a little with a bucket that was in the room).
- Hot water: Some accommodations did not have and others yes. Many of those who did have then worked badly, and intermittently, and finally you had to shower with cold water.
- Electricity: There were places where the electrical wiring came and others that worked with solar panels. We had electricity every day (Except in Thorong Pedi, which was not in the room, but in the common areas, and upon payment of 200 Rupees = € 1.66). The electricity in many lodgings was not continuous. There were schedules, normally it was in the afternoon until early morning and a few hours early in the morning (usually the hours that walkers are staying). In some occasion, in some lodging the electricity went away some instants resuming in a short period of time. Some lodgings only had electricity in the common areas, therefore they did not have in the rooms. (We, except Thorong Pedi, that there were no other options, in all the other lodgings, we looked for a place to lodge that if it had electricity in the rooms).
- Wifi: Practically in almost all the accommodations they had wifi. (Except in Thorong Pedi, they had but it was previous payment of 200 Rupees = 1,66 €). Virtually all the wifis were of poor quality. Slow and interrupted constantly. That if to warn family and friends that you're fine by "WhatsApp" perfect, both where we stop to eat, and where we stop to sleep.
- Stoves: Almost all the accommodations had stoves in the "Hall". If it was cold they used to light them. If you managed to take a place nearby it was great, and if you ask for a beer is the most, hehe. Also, if you had wet clothes because you had washed you could put them to dry nearby (keep in mind that if it is not cold they did not use them to light).
- Rooms: there were very basic rooms without electricity, bathroom, or shower, ........ (We had electricity in all except Thorong Pedi, and bathroom and showers in some only). Then there were shared rooms or only for your group (we all took them only for us). Mantas had in all the accommodations, it is more, if it was cold we asked for another without any problem (I always slept alone with one, my friend someday slept with two, but because he was sleeping in his underpants).
- Laundry: By hand and with cold water.
- Price of food and drinks in restaurants and hotels: (Prices indicated in Rupa Nepalis)
Noodles and rice: 400 and 600 (DAL BHAT: Typical dish, and they refilled the dish as many times as you wanted for the same price).
Soups: 250 and 400
Tortillas: 300 and 500
Hamburgers: 600 and 900
Pizzas: 400 and 800
Momo: 400 and 700
Breakfast dishes (Tibetan bread, muesli, baby food, toast ...): 350 and 600.
Mineral Water: 50 and 150 (Besi Sahar: 20 Rupees and Thorong Pedi: 220 Rupees).
Glass of Tes and hot drinks: 150 and 300
Coke and soft drinks: 300 and 400
Beers: 500 and 600
Prices increase a bit on the days you sleep between "Manang" and "Rapipauwa / Muktinath", being the most isolated part of the route.
- HYGIENIC PAPER: there is no lodging, so you must carry yours in your backpack, I will go shopping in the shops of the towns as you run out.
.................................................. .........................................
HOW TO ARRIVE AT THE START OF THE ROUTE AND HOW TO GET BACK FROM WHERE IT FINISHES.
THE ROUTE IS STARTED IN BESI SAHAR.
To get to Besi Sahar you can do it from Katmandu or from Pokhara.
Local buses depart from Katmandu from the "Gongabu Bus Park" bus station. Local buses to Besi Sahar leave from Pokhara. These buses usually leave every hour during the morning. They start around 06:00 in the morning and the last one I think was between 10:00 and 12:00.
The estimated time to arrive is between 8 hours and 12 hours. The circulatory chaos in Nepal is brutal.
Surely there is the possibility of going by taxi also for about 9,000 Nepalis Rupees = € 75.
THE ROUTE IS FINISHED IN BIRENTHANI / NAYAPULL
The "Annapurna Circuit" ends in "Birenthani", but you must continue walking for two more kilometers until you reach "Nayapull", which is where the buses that take you to "Pokhara" are taken. These buses come from Rapiauwa / Muktinath, Jomsom, Tatopani, Beni, ... and many other towns.
There are also some that leave from "Nayapull". The schedule I do not know, but I think it will be all morning and the first hours of the afternoon for sure.
We from "Birenthani" we returned by taxi to "Pokhara" for 6,000 Rupees (€ 50.00). That being two, we had to pay € 25 each.
FROM POKHARA TO KATHMANDU
You can go on local buses for a low price 500 Rupees (€ 4.15). Price per person. But these only come out in the morning. Travel time between 8 hours and 12 hours, depends on traffic, which is chaotic.
You can go by plane for about 100 Dollars = € 87 (can be purchased online). Price per person. Flight time 25 minutes.
You can go by taxi for a price between 80,000 (€ 66.35) and 90,000 rupiah nepalis (€ 74.65) (depends on "bargaining"). Price for all people who go in the taxi. Travel time between 8 hours and 12 hours, depends on traffic, which is chaotic. We, although finally we did not go by taxi, but were offered on a trip for 80,000 nepalis Rupees.
.................................
THE STAGES OF OUR ROUTE WERE THE FOLLOWING:
Day 1. Besi Sahar - Chame (JEEP)
If it were done walking could be done in two or three days.
There is an option to go by local bus from "Besi Sahar to Bhulbhule" (9 kilometers away). Said bus leaves early in the morning.
Day 2. Chame - Upper Pisang
Day 3. Upper Pisang - Manang
Day 4. Acclimatization. Manang - Ice Lake - Manang
Day 5. Manang - Thorong Pedi
Performing this route in a single day is an error. This route must be completed in two days for the theme of Acclimatization. The ideal would have been "Manang - Yak Kharka" and "Yak Kharka - Thorong Pedi"
Day 6. Thorong Pedi - Yak Khraka
This day we retreated as a precaution to feel several symptoms of "Altitude sickness." When descending the 500 meters that exists between a population and another one, the symptoms disappeared and the following day we continued the march with normality.
Day 7. Yak Kharka - Thorong Pedi
Day 8. Thorong I asked - Thorong La - Muktinath
Day 9. Muktinath - Jomsom
Day 10. Jomsom - Tatopani (MTB)
If it were done walking this stretch would be done in two days. "Jomsom - Kalopani" and "Kalopani - Tatopani"
Day 11. Tatopani - Gorepani
Day 12. Gorepani - Poon Hill - Bhirentani

COMPLETE ROUTE with the most important Waypoints
.................................................. .......................................
ROUTE THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR STAGES
- STAGE 1:
Go from Besi Sahar to Syange (or Ghermu, on the other side of the river). 24 km. Some 380 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 750 meters to 1,130 meters. You can go to Bhulbhule by local bus (9.5km).
- STAGE 2:
Go from Syange (or Ghermu) to Dharapani. 19 km. Some 770 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 1,130 meters to 1,900 meters.
- STAGE 3:
Go from Dharapani to Chame. 18 km. Some 800 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 1,900 meters to 2,710 meters.
- STAGE 4:
Go from Chame to Upper Pisang. 15.5 km. Approximately 600 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 2,710 meters to 3,310 meters.
- STAGE 5:
Go from Upper Pisang to Manag. 23 km. (By the alternative road that passes through Ghyaru, Nwagal and Julu, this path is more beautiful and favors acclimatization by raising altitude and then lowering it). Some 230 meters of positive elevation are ascending (the cumulative unevenness is much higher, about 1,170 meters), from an altitude of 3,310 meters to 3,540 meters.
- STAGE 6:
Acclimatization. Climb to "Ice Lake" and go back down to sleep at Manang (the good thing about this day is that you can leave your things at the hotel and go up without a backpack, or with the backpack practically empty and weightless). 17 km Some 1,050 meters of positive height are climbed, and then descend. From an altitude of 3,540 meters to 4,600 meters.
Instead of climbing to "Ice Lake", another popular option of acclimatization is to climb the "Templo Milarepas" at 4,050 meters altitude, and go back down to sleep at Manang.
- STAGE 7:
Go from Manag to Yak Khraka. 10 km. Some 500 meters of positive elevation are climbed, from an altitude of 3,540 meters to 4,050 meters.
Once in having already lodged and left the backpack in Yak Khraka, it is possible to be promoted if it is desired to Letdar to favor the acclimatization, if not also it is necessary.
Stage 7 and 8 are very short in length by acclimation. It is not recommended to sleep at a higher altitude of 500 meters from one day to the next. If it is not done like this you could suffer symptoms of "Mal de Alturas"
- STAGE 8:
Go from Yak khraka to Thorong Pedi. 7 km Some 500 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 4,050 meters to 4,540 meters.
Once in having already lodged and left the backpack in Thorong Pedi, one can ascend if desired to "High Camp" to favor the acclimatization, if not also it is necessary.
Stage 7 and 8 are very short in length by acclimation. It is not recommended to sleep at a higher altitude of 500 meters from one day to the next. If it is not done like this you could suffer symptoms of "Mal de Alturas"
- STAGE 9:
Go from Thorong Pedi to Ranipauwa / Muktinath. 16.5 km. Some 875 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 4,540 meters to 5,416 meters. Some 1,665 meters of negative height are descended, from an altitude of 5,416 meters to 3750 meters.
This is the usual day to have breakfast at 04:00 and start walking at 04:30. It's early morning.
- STAGE 10:
From here on, the number of hikers drops considerably, since many people already choose to go by bus.
Go from Ranipauwa / Muktinath to Jomsom. 23 km. They descend some 1,000 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 3,750 meters to 2,720 meters.
- STAGE 11:
Go from Jomsom to Kalopani (or Lete village which is about 700 meters ahead of Kalopani). 25 km. Descend some 185 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 2,720 meters to 2,535 meters.
If you wish you can make the journey from Jomsom to Tatopani by the route of the alternative roads that exist on the other side of the river. They are more beautiful, but also longer and harder physically. If you want to go along these roads, it may be that the Jomsom to Tatopani section instead of two days will take you three days.
- STAGE 12:
Go from Kalopani to Tatopani. 25 km. We descend some 1,335 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 2,535 meters to 1,200 meters.
In this town there are pools with thermal waters.
- STAGE 13:
Go from Tatopani to Gorepani. 16 km Some 1,670 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 1,200 meters to 2,870 meters.
- STAGE 14:
Go from Gorepani to "Poon Hill" leaving the hotel around 04:00. See sunrise on "Poon Hill". 1,5 km ascending 330 meters of altitude. Then watch sunrise. And descend the same path that has been climbed.
Go from Gorepani to Bhirentani. 16 km 1,850 meters of negative height are descended, from an altitude of 2,870 meters to 1,025 meters.

HOW TO ARRIVE AT THE START OF THE ROUTE AND HOW TO GET BACK FROM WHERE IT FINISHES.
THE ROUTE IS STARTED IN BESI SAHAR.
To get to Besi Sahar you can do it from Katmandu or from Pokhara.
Local buses depart from Katmandu from the "Gongabu Bus Park" bus station. Local buses to Besi Sahar leave from Pokhara. These buses usually leave every hour during the morning. They start around 06:00 in the morning and the last one I think was between 10:00 and 12:00.
The estimated time to arrive is between 8 hours and 12 hours. The circulatory chaos in Nepal is brutal.
Surely there is the possibility of going by taxi also for about 9,000 Nepalis Rupees = € 75.
THE ROUTE IS FINISHED IN BIRENTHANI / NAYAPULL
The "Annapurna Circuit" ends in "Birenthani", but you must continue walking for two more kilometers until you reach "Nayapull", which is where the buses that take you to "Pokhara" are taken. These buses come from Rapiauwa / Muktinath, Jomsom, Tatopani, Beni, ... and many other towns.
There are also some that leave from "Nayapull". The schedule I do not know, but I think it will be all morning and the first hours of the afternoon for sure.
We from "Birenthani" we returned by taxi to "Pokhara" for 6,000 Rupees (€ 50.00). That being two, we had to pay € 25 each.
FROM POKHARA TO KATHMANDU
You can go on local buses for a low price 500 Rupees (€ 4.15). Price per person. But these only come out in the morning. Travel time between 8 hours and 12 hours, depends on traffic, which is chaotic.
You can go by plane for about 100 Dollars = € 87 (can be purchased online). Price per person. Flight time 25 minutes.
You can go by taxi for a price between 80,000 (€ 66.35) and 90,000 rupiah nepalis (€ 74.65) (depends on "bargaining"). Price for all people who go in the taxi. Travel time between 8 hours and 12 hours, depends on traffic, which is chaotic. We, although finally we did not go by taxi, but were offered on a trip for 80,000 nepalis Rupees.
.................................
THE STAGES OF OUR ROUTE WERE THE FOLLOWING:
Day 1. Besi Sahar - Chame (JEEP)
If it were done walking could be done in two or three days.
There is an option to go by local bus from "Besi Sahar to Bhulbhule" (9 kilometers away). Said bus leaves early in the morning.
Day 2. Chame - Upper Pisang
Day 3. Upper Pisang - Manang
Day 4. Acclimatization. Manang - Ice Lake - Manang
Day 5. Manang - Thorong Pedi
Performing this route in a single day is an error. This route must be completed in two days for the theme of Acclimatization. The ideal would have been "Manang - Yak Kharka" and "Yak Kharka - Thorong Pedi"
Day 6. Thorong Pedi - Yak Khraka
This day we retreated as a precaution to feel several symptoms of "Altitude sickness." When descending the 500 meters that exists between a population and another one, the symptoms disappeared and the following day we continued the march with normality.
Day 7. Yak Kharka - Thorong Pedi
Day 8. Thorong I asked - Thorong La - Muktinath
Day 9. Muktinath - Jomsom
Day 10. Jomsom - Tatopani (MTB)
If it were done walking this stretch would be done in two days. "Jomsom - Kalopani" and "Kalopani - Tatopani"
Day 11. Tatopani - Gorepani
Day 12. Gorepani - Poon Hill - Bhirentani

.................................................. .......................................
ROUTE THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND FOR STAGES
- STAGE 1:
Go from Besi Sahar to Syange (or Ghermu, on the other side of the river). 24 km. Some 380 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 750 meters to 1,130 meters. You can go to Bhulbhule by local bus (9.5km).
- STAGE 2:
Go from Syange (or Ghermu) to Dharapani. 19 km. Some 770 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 1,130 meters to 1,900 meters.
- STAGE 3:
Go from Dharapani to Chame. 18 km. Some 800 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 1,900 meters to 2,710 meters.
- STAGE 4:
Go from Chame to Upper Pisang. 15.5 km. Approximately 600 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 2,710 meters to 3,310 meters.
- STAGE 5:
Go from Upper Pisang to Manag. 23 km. (By the alternative road that passes through Ghyaru, Nwagal and Julu, this path is more beautiful and favors acclimatization by raising altitude and then lowering it). Some 230 meters of positive elevation are ascending (the cumulative unevenness is much higher, about 1,170 meters), from an altitude of 3,310 meters to 3,540 meters.
- STAGE 6:
Acclimatization. Climb to "Ice Lake" and go back down to sleep at Manang (the good thing about this day is that you can leave your things at the hotel and go up without a backpack, or with the backpack practically empty and weightless). 17 km Some 1,050 meters of positive height are climbed, and then descend. From an altitude of 3,540 meters to 4,600 meters.
Instead of climbing to "Ice Lake", another popular option of acclimatization is to climb the "Templo Milarepas" at 4,050 meters altitude, and go back down to sleep at Manang.
- STAGE 7:
Go from Manag to Yak Khraka. 10 km. Some 500 meters of positive elevation are climbed, from an altitude of 3,540 meters to 4,050 meters.
Once in having already lodged and left the backpack in Yak Khraka, it is possible to be promoted if it is desired to Letdar to favor the acclimatization, if not also it is necessary.
Stage 7 and 8 are very short in length by acclimation. It is not recommended to sleep at a higher altitude of 500 meters from one day to the next. If it is not done like this you could suffer symptoms of "Mal de Alturas"
- STAGE 8:
Go from Yak khraka to Thorong Pedi. 7 km Some 500 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 4,050 meters to 4,540 meters.
Once in having already lodged and left the backpack in Thorong Pedi, one can ascend if desired to "High Camp" to favor the acclimatization, if not also it is necessary.
Stage 7 and 8 are very short in length by acclimation. It is not recommended to sleep at a higher altitude of 500 meters from one day to the next. If it is not done like this you could suffer symptoms of "Mal de Alturas"
- STAGE 9:
Go from Thorong Pedi to Ranipauwa / Muktinath. 16.5 km. Some 875 meters of positive elevation are ascending, from an altitude of 4,540 meters to 5,416 meters. Some 1,665 meters of negative height are descended, from an altitude of 5,416 meters to 3750 meters.
This is the usual day to have breakfast at 04:00 and start walking at 04:30. It's early morning.
- STAGE 10:
From here on, the number of hikers drops considerably, since many people already choose to go by bus.
Go from Ranipauwa / Muktinath to Jomsom. 23 km. They descend some 1,000 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 3,750 meters to 2,720 meters.
- STAGE 11:
Go from Jomsom to Kalopani (or Lete village which is about 700 meters ahead of Kalopani). 25 km. Descend some 185 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 2,720 meters to 2,535 meters.
If you wish you can make the journey from Jomsom to Tatopani by the route of the alternative roads that exist on the other side of the river. They are more beautiful, but also longer and harder physically. If you want to go along these roads, it may be that the Jomsom to Tatopani section instead of two days will take you three days.
- STAGE 12:
Go from Kalopani to Tatopani. 25 km. We descend some 1,335 meters of negative height, from an altitude of 2,535 meters to 1,200 meters.
In this town there are pools with thermal waters.
- STAGE 13:
Go from Tatopani to Gorepani. 16 km Some 1,670 meters of positive height are ascending, from an altitude of 1,200 meters to 2,870 meters.
- STAGE 14:
Go from Gorepani to "Poon Hill" leaving the hotel around 04:00. See sunrise on "Poon Hill". 1,5 km ascending 330 meters of altitude. Then watch sunrise. And descend the same path that has been climbed.
Go from Gorepani to Bhirentani. 16 km 1,850 meters of negative height are descended, from an altitude of 2,870 meters to 1,025 meters.

Muy buena explicación. De lo mejorcito en castellano...
Una cosa, si vas solo hay problema en conseguir habitaciones?. Me han dicho que en Octubre hay mucha gente, y no quieren a las personas que van solas, por que el negocio se hace en las comidas....
Lo has hecho el pasado octubre no?
Gracias
Muy buenas "Lo mejor está por llegar Blog de Viajes"
Antes de nada, muchas gracias por comentar. (Decirte también que actualmente la descripición no la tengo finalizada del todo, por eso tengo puesto ----EN CONTRUCCIÓN---- en la primera línea. Espero finalizarlo pronto).
La ruta la realizamos del 22/09/2.017 al 03/10/2.017. Nosotros realizamos 164 km a pie, 58 km en MTB y 60 km en Jeep. Lo puedes ver en los enlaces de las etapas.
Con el tema de las habitaciones, cierto es que el negocio lo hacen en las comidas. Nosotros solíamos dormir gratis. Y en comidas (cena y desayuno) en el hotel nos gastábamos unas 5.000 - 6.000 Rupias nepalis por dos personas. Osea, que unas 2.500 - 3.000 Rupias nepalis por persona. Decir también que íbamos dos chicos, que somos de muy buen comer (tanto en la cena como en el desayuno nos comíamos dos platos cada uno).
El tema de ir solo y si hay problemas con las habitaciones, comentarte que nosotros coincidimos con algunas personas que iban solas, y no tuvieron ningún problema en conseguir habitaciones en la época que nosotros realizamos la ruta.
Pero decirte también que si que nos comentaron gente de la zona que la temporada que mas personas hay(segunda quincena de Octubre y Noviembre) que puede darse que algún día se tengan problemas a la hora de encontrar alojamiento. Y que puede que llegues a un pueblo, y no encuentres alojamiento y tengas que ir al pueblo de al lado. Sinceramente, a mi esto me parece raro puesto que existían una gran cantidad de alojamientos durante toda la ruta.
La mayoría de las habitaciones que dormimos nosotros tenían dos o tres camas (nosotros en dos etapas, la que dormimos en Ranipauwa y la de Jomsom) dormimos con un chico italiano que iba solo, no por falta de habitación, si no porque hicimos una buena amistad, habitaciones había de sobra cuando nosotros la realizamos.
Luego a parte existían en alojamientos habitaciones compartidas. Incluso nos comentaron gente local que en ocasiones los senderistas dormían en el "Hall" del hotel por falta de habitaciones (esto los guías y portas lo hacían mucho), en el "Hall" si hacía frío encendían la estufa y se estaba fenomenal.
Espero haberte ayudado. Si tienes cualquier otra duda no dudes en preguntarme.
Un saludo.
Estimados viajeros,
Namaste y saludos cálidos desde el país del Himalaya Nepal!!!
Mi nombre es Sanjib Adhikari, (Guía de montaña de Nepal) una guía de trekking independiente y operador turístico. Quiero dar la bienvenida a todos a mi hermoso país del Himalaya Nepal. Después de haber sido atraídos por el gran aire libre y la aventura, comencé mi carrera en 1998 como guía de trekking de Porter y asistente. Después de obtener suficiente conocimiento me convertí en una guía de trekking independiente y con licencia en Nepal. Habiendo guiado con éxito a muchos huéspedes a través de los terrenos ásperos y altos de Nepal, me convertí plenamente en la confianza para iniciar mi propia agencia y con gran éxito. Para mí, guiar a los huéspedes no es sólo un trabajo, sino una meta de vida para construir relaciones y educar a mis invitados sobre los aspectos culturales y geográficos de Nepal. ¡ es con gran placer que invito a cada alma a visitar este gran país del Himalaya y a alcanzar aún más alturas!
Un poco de historia: yo mismo he sido sobre expediciones a mera Peak, Isla pico, Kalapathar, pico Gokyo, Tseryo RI y a través de muchos pases altos en Nepal, Larkye Pass, pase Ampulapcha, Chola Pass, pase Renjula, Tashilapcha Pass, Ganjala pase, Thorong la Pass, Tilicho Pass, (paso Mesokantola). En el largo período de un viaje aventurero, tengo una amplia experiencia de orientación en el Monte Kailash, Lhasa en el Tíbet también en Bután me había unido a muchas expediciones. Haciendo caminatas y expediciones por más de 20 años he ganado la confianza y la experiencia de la guía cada huésped y ser informativo en cada destino.
Servicio personalizado:
He guiado a muchos grupos internacionales especialmente de Europa, Asia, Estados Unidos, Canadá y Australia a través de las regiones del Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Mustang, Dolpo, Kanchanjunga, Makalu, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal y Helambu de Nepal. Al hacerlo, había adquirido mucha experiencia y amplios conocimientos en geografía, religión, cultura, flora y fauna local y en temas ambientales en las áreas donde yo personalmente organicé las caminatas. Organizamos todos los paquetes personalizados sobre la base de sus intereses y gustos. Junto con nuestro personal altamente amigable y experimentado, así como su experiencia o interés previo, podemos desarrollar un programa personalizado de acuerdo a su presupuesto, tiempo y preferencias.
Buena comida y alojamiento confortable: el senderismo es la forma de relacionarse con la comunidad local y practicar su vida. Se puede disfrutar de un alojamiento disponible en función de las distintas regiones. El alojamiento varía de las casas de té de la manera local y el camping en las regiones restringidas y remotas a Homestay con una familia nepa
Muchas gracias por toda la info!
Una pregunta...las bicis se pueden llevar en los autobuses, taxis o aviones que indicas????
Me gustaría hacer la ruta (entera o parte) con una bici clásica por mi cuenta y luego contratar un guia francés que tengo fichado para hacer tres días de enduro. Ves viable esta configuración ????
Muchas gracias por adelantado !!!!
Buenas Hoyomenor.
En el avión supongo que podrás llevarlo facturandola, que no sé cuánto valdrá. En el aeropuerto de Jomsom ahí si que no sabría decirte, puesto que no eran aviones, eran avionetas.
En autobús seguro que sí, aunque la tendrías que llevar en el techo del autobús (nosotros vimos algunas bicis siendo transportadas así).
Y en taxi normal no, porque son super pequeños, pero también había taxi que eran furgonetas, algo las caros, eso sí, y hay seguro que sí te dejan, aunque seguro que algo más quieren cobrarte por ello, pero bueno, hay está lo que regatees tu.
Y en Jeep seguro que si puedes llevarlas también.
Lo de hacer la ruta en bici nosotros nos encontramos con gente que la realizaba entera, no mucha, pero sí que había. Eso sí, el día que se sube a Thorong La, vas a tener que ir desde Thorong Pedí hasta Thorong La andando y empujando la bici, prácticamente en la mayoría del recorrido. Luego la bajada vas a disfrutar como un enano eso sí, jeje.
Si vais a realizarla en bici, tener en cuenta el tema de la aclimatación cuando vayáis cogiendo altitud, para que no os entre mal de alturas.
Espero haberte ayudado. Un saludo.
Genial y muy buen trabajo con este trek. Solo comentar una cosa..... Saco de dormir...... Para mí imprescindible!!! Si no lo llego a llevar me muero de frío en algún sitio. Eso sí, depende de la temporada pero
en noviembre yo lo recomiendo totalmente! Y palos..... También los recomiendo totalmente!
Un saludo!
Muchas gracias Martika Rm por tus observaciones y consideraciones. Un saludo.
Gracias, de nuevo, por todo lo comentado : )
Me quito el sombrero. Estoy pensando en hacerlo, y NUNCA había encontrado una programación y ayuda tan buena en Wikiloc, y ya llevo unos cuantos años. De verdad, sois personas como tú, las que ayudáis a personas como yo a descubrir nuevos rincones increíbles del mundo. Gracias Jorge!
Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario "olentzero". Me alegro que te pueda servir de ayuda a ti y a mas personas, con esa idea la redacte. Es una ruta increíble. Yo tampoco encontré toda la información que me hubiese gustado cuando la realizamos, por ese me anime a intentar redactarla lo mejor que pudiese para ayudar a gente como tu y gente como yo, jeje. Un saludo.

Hola Jorge,
Ante todo, muchísimas gracias por la extensa explicación, tan detallada y tan personal, que eso se agradece mucho.
Estaba buscando para hacer este circuito con otra persona y creo que es el idóneo, para los que nos gusta la media-alta montaña y para los que nos gusta la fotografia.
Entiendo (cuando hablas del tema de la electricidad) que se pueden cargar cámara, GPS y teléfonos con el mismo votaje y conexión que en España (que no es como en EUA que tiene un voltaje y una conexión diferente).
El tema de la comida es muy importante pero veo que se puede repetir y pienso que no pasas hambre.
La potabilización del agua con pastillas se soluciona rápido.
Si no es mucho preguntar (igual no lo he visto).¿qué presupuesto tenías para todo el viaje :avión (ida y vuelta), gastos de visados y estáncia allí (comidas y demás) y varios?
Me he bajado el track y me lo estudiaré en profundidad.
Por lo que he leido, la mejor época es a partir de Octubre, mes que me va muy bien.
Muchas gracias por hacernos las cosas más fáciles a los que pensamos hacer este tipo de rutas.
Un abrazo!

Buenas Rafa y disculpa por el retraso a la hora de contestar. Es que las navidades han sido muy ajetreadas, jeje.
El tema de electricidad con enchufes de los nuestros ningún problema. El único problema es el que detallo en la redacción: que a veces no hay enchufes en las habitaciones, que en muchos sitios dependen de las placas solares, que en ocasiones se iba sin motivo aparente, .... Pero nosotros todos los días pudimos cargar todos nuestros aparatos electrónicos sin mas problemas.
Con la comida no pasas hambre, y hay para todos los gustos prácticamente.
Nuestro presupuesto total por persona con todo (viajes, dormir, comer, trasporte, visados,...)rondo los 1.300 €. Decir también en este apartado que luego estuvimos unos cuantos días de turismo en Pokhara y Katmandú y sus alrededores, y que estos gastos están incluidos en ese presupuesto también.
Espero haberte ayudado. Si tienes cualquier otra duda no dudes en preguntar que en la medida de mi experiencia te contestaré.
Un saludo y muchas gracias por el agradecimiento.
Hola!!! Muchas gracias por tan amplia información que es de gran utilidad. Quería preguntarte una cosa. Crees que el circuito es seguro para dos chicas viajando solas? Las dos tenemos experiencia en alta montaña en México y conocemos los peligros de ir a una montaña de aquí solas (sobre todo por el crimen organizado). Obvio México y Nepal no es lo mismo, pero quería saber tu opinión. Muchas gracias.
Hola Miriam.
Cuando nosotros realizamos la ruta si que vimos a varios grupos de dos chicas que iban solas, e incluso a alguna que iba sola.
A mí no me dio la sensación de ser un país peligroso, la gente es bastante amable y educada. Pero esa es mi percepción, a lo mejor otra persona tiene otra...un saludo.
Muchas gracias por tu respuesta!! Me has dejado muy tranquila. Otra pregunta técnica. Voy a hacer el circuito en la segunda semana de abril. Crees que para el punto de mayor altitud requiera de crampones? Mil, mil gracias.
Yo en esa temporada si que me los llevaría, porque el invierno acaba en febrero y supongo que en primavera comenzará el deshielo, pero no creo que tanto como para que no haya nieve/hielo por allí arriba en esos días que vais.
Lo malo es el peso que tienes que llevar para un solo día, pero yo sí que los veo necesarios.
También es cierto, que por allí venden y alquilan de todo, al final es una ruta muy comercial y hay tiendas. Que si vais muy cargadas de peso podría ser una opción, aunque más cara que llevarlos desde casa claro.
Muchas gracias por toda la descripción y pregunta, y te parecerá una frivolidad pero para mi es importante, ¿habéis encontrado muchos bichos? Tipo sanguijuelas o mosquitos. Nuestra idea es ir en otroño. Ya me contarás. Muchas gracias. Saludos.
Buenas Vila-Livina. Nosotros en nuestro viaje no encontramos muchos "bichos". Sanguijuelas no vimos, y mosquitos lo normal como por España, alguna zona donde había alguno mas pero nada desproporcionado, prácticamente igual que en España, alguna avispa o algo que se le parecia vimos también pero de manera puntual. Espero haberte ayudado, muchas gracias por comentar, saludos.
