We head up the main trail to Sudami where we climb slowly up the side of the valley reaching Hile (1495m) before to move Tirkhedhunga. This is a short relatively easy day, which allows us to become used to be experience of trekking in Nepal.

From Tirkhedhunga the trail climbs steeply to Ulleri, a huge Magar village at 2070m. It continues to climb through rhododendron and oak forests and across streams to Banthanti (2250m) final climb to Nangethanti (2460m). From Nangethanti we head up to Ghorepani (2850m).

An early start at around 5 am an hours hiking to Poon Hill (3210m) leads us to a luminous spectacle. This vantage point provides an clear view of sunrise over the high Himalayas - one of the best Himalayan viewpoints in Nepal. After spending about 40 minutes on the hillside, we return to Ghorepani, have a hot breakfast, and start walking to Tatopani. On leaving Ghorepani, the trail descends steeply to Chitre at 2390m. The hills are extensively terraced as the trail drops down through Sikha, a large village with shops and hotels at 1980m, and then descends softly to Ghara at 1705m. A further steep descent of 500m takes you to the Ghar Khola where the trail crosses the river on a suspension bridge and then climbs up above the Kaligandaki River before crossing that. Turning north the trail soon reaches Tatopani at 1180m. Tato means ‘hot’ and pani is ‘water’, a name earned by civility of the hot springs. It is very beautiful place with relaxing hot spring pools by the Kaligandaki River. Tatopani is one of the more popular destinations in this region.

The trail continues up the Kali Gandaki gorge, which is measured to be the deepest gorge in the world, situated in between the two 8000m peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri. The trail rises gently to reach Dana at 1400m, and on to Rupse Chhahara at 1550m, where there is a striking waterfall. The trail then crosses to the eastern bank of the river to reach Kopchepani and then crosses back to the western side on a suspension bridge at 1935m. A steep climb follows the suspension bridge to reach Pahirothapla, the border of two districts (Magdi & Mustang) and the trail then continues to climb to Ghasa at 2080m.

We continue to ascend and pass through Lete at 2470m, shortly before arriving at Kalopani at an elevation of 2560m. Here we get excellent views of the Nilgiri mountains to the east. Then cross to the eastern side of the river, cross back again further up the trail before entering Larjung at 2560m. We then continue on a short distance to the interesting village of Khobang with its narrow. Overnight in the ancient Thakali village of Tukuche at 2590m

The trek continues up the Kali Gandaki, with the land becoming much more barren and the light wind increasing as it passes through the gorge. On the way to Marpha we pass a Tibetan refuge settlement and then a Horticulture research station. Marpha at 2665m is a large Thakali village with many superb teahouses, but it still retains the typical architectural features of narrow, flat roofs, and whitewashed buildings. There is also a superb Nyingmapa Buddhist gompa, which can be visited. After Marpha, the trek continues along the side of the valley to reach Jomsom at 2713m. Jomsom is a large, bustling settlement, which is the administrative centre of the Mustang, contains the airport, army camp, and numerous hotels, shops, banks and government offices. We cross the river to the eastern bank and continue onwards to Eklai Bhatti at 2730m. From here there is a direct route to Muktinath that ascends the hill behind the village; however we follow the trail along the river to Kagbeni at 2810m. Kagbeni is situated at the joint of the Jhong Khola and the Kali Gandaki, and is the northernmost village that can be visited without a permit to continue on to Mustang. It is a charming village with many Tibetan influences. Kagbani is a gateway to the upper Mustang trek.

From Kagbeni, the trail makes a steep climb up the Jhong Khola valley to join the direct trail to Muktinath just below Khingar at 3200m. From here we continue on the trail high above the Jhong Khola to the imposing village of Jharkot at 3500m. This village is well worth exploring and so we will stop here for lunch or a tea break before continuing on to Muktinath. From Jharkot the trail climbs up to our ultimate destination of Muktinath at 3800m. We originally reach Ranipauwa where there are many teahouses and shops, and where we stay for the night. The actual religious site of Muktinath is a further 10 minutes walk up the hill, and this area is kept free of hotels and camping sites. Muktinath is a pilgrimage center for Buddhists and Hindus. You’ll see Tibetan seller as well as sadhus from the far south of India. The holy place in a grove of trees includes a Buddhists Gompa and the Vishnu temple of Jwalamai. Old temples near by shelters a spring and natural gas jets that provide Muktinath’s famous eternal flame. It’s the earth-water-fire combination that accounts for Muktinath’s great religious significance.
