The day starts from Kathmandu or Pokhara driving to Chame and witnessing the river, valley, villages, terrace field, waterfalls, and high mountains. The actual Annapurna Circuit trek begins in Chame after our breakfast. The trails follow the Marsyandi River, enter the Manang Valley, and lead to the Pisang Village. After the glorious morning front of Annapurna II and Annapurna IV, we continue to trek to Ngwal passing by sacred Green Lake and Ghyau village. Long steep climbing trials lead to the main Annapurna Circuit to Gharyu. Gharyu and Ngawal are the old villages of the Manang Valley. Staying at Ngawal village can be one of the trek's favorite nights. The wide view of the whole Annapurna range with the traditional household is everyone's favorite. From the Ngawal village trail follow the Yaks route to the upper part of the valley which leads directly to Bragha village. In Bragha village,  hundreds of years old monasteries can be seen in the steep wall. After a short walk from Bragha, we arrived at Manang where we spent our 2 nights. Manang village has lots of side trips to do. Visiting nearby viewpoints and Gangapurna Lake are common. We always prefer to visit Ice Lake to acclimatize and see amazing views.  

The second phase is from Manang to Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass.

After the fine rest and acclimatization, we head to Tilicho Lake. The trails follow the Marsyandi River and climb up gradually to Khangsar village and Shree Kharka. After the Shree Kharka, a narrow path goes through a steep landslide area which leads to Tilicho Base Camp. The early morning climb up leads to Tilicho Lake at an altitude of 4,919 m. The close-up view of the lake with the huge mountain is mindblowing. The overnight stay is at Shree Kharka. Next day, as usual after breakfast you will head to Letder passing by the ruined Upper Khangsar Village. The next day you will head to High Camp where you prepare for Thorong La pass. Before preceding High camp you need to check your condition properly. Early next morning you will head to Thorong La Pass and get down to Muktinath.

The third phase is from Muktinath to Pokhara or Kathmandu

Muktinath is a place of peace and harmony for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage. This place is quite historical and amazing as well. The very next day we went to Marpha via Lubra pass and Lubra Village. This is another beautiful place to enjoy the Mustang Landscapes. After that we passed by Jomsom Village and spent the night at Marpha. Marpa is a beautiful place to spend overnight inside a traditional household. Thakali Kitchen and Apple Farm are the jewels of Marpha and everybody loves it. After Marpha we take Bus to Pokhara and proceed to Kathmandu.

 The story behind Millennium Cave & Home Stay Trek:

Locals discovered the cave in 1995 after their goat fell into a deep gorge. They heard the sound of the goat but couldn't see it. Later, they found the goat inside the cave. This led to the naming of the cave. The locals found the cave very attractive due to its 65-meter circumference (round), 25-meter height, ladders with a waterfall, and the habitat of bats. The cave features numerous shapes resembling animals such as elephants, bulls, snakes, crabs, and mountain formations, all crafted naturally from limestone and water. Subsequently, they began advertising it for tourism. This cave is considered unique in South Asia.

Sherpas



Sherpa, known as the 'People from the East,' form an ethnic group that migrated from eastern Tibet around five centuries ago. Originally nomadic, they traversed the rugged terrain with their yaks, moving between pastures in Tibet and wintering in Nepal. Engaged in cross-border trade prior to 1959, Sherpa were involved in the exchange of various commodities, including yaks, butter, Jhoppa (a crossbreed between a male cow and yaks), cement, carpets, noodles, and salt. This trade activity showcased their resourcefulness and adaptability.

 

Living in the Khumbu region, Sherpa communities maintain the highest permanent settlements globally, reaching altitudes of up to 4700 meters. In the early 1900s, Sherpa individuals transitioned into roles as high-altitude expedition porters and guides, earning the mark "Tigers Of The Snows" for their skillful climbing skills in challenging environments.

 

Along with their contributions to trade and mountaineering, Sherpa brought their rich religious, cultural, and traditional practices to the regions they inhabited. Their deep-rooted belief in Tibetan Buddhism is a keystone of their way of life, influencing their values and shaping their communities over centuries. Sherpa communities remain integral to the cultural wall-hanging of the Himalayan region, embodying a unique blend of tradition, and spiritual beliefs.

In contemporary times, Sherpa people have become synonymous with mountaineering and trekking brands. They have diversified into various businesses, extending their influence globally. Renowned for their courage and honesty, they are recognized as some of the world's most fearless and trustworthy individuals.



Name and Meaning after Mt. Everest



Mount Everest got its name from the British who named it after Sir George Everest. However, it has various names in different local languages. The Sherpa and Tibetan people call it Chomolungma, which means 'Mother Goddess.' This name comes from Jomo Miyo Langsangma, recognized by the Sherpa as one of the five sister mountain goddesses linked with agricultural abundance. In Nepali, the name is Sagarmatha, translating to 'Forehead of the Sky.' In Chinese, it is known as ‘Zhumulangma’, adopting the local name
