Today’s trek begins at dawn around 3-4 a.m. as you cross Thorong La Pass today, one of the highest and most adventurous passes in the world.

And the weather is unfavorable to cross in the afternoon, because of the strong wind.

After breakfast today, you can take a bus or a jeep to drive along the plateau of the Kali Gandaki Gorge. You’ll also pass some beautiful waterfalls and forests along the way.

If you plan to fly, you may end up needing to go by road, if flights are canceled. The road between Beni and Muktinath was only constructed a few years ago, and it’s mostly off-road track, and (halfway) from Beni to Pokhara is paved. The journey takes about 6 to7 hours to reach Pokhara.

Optional, if your time permits, spend few nights in Pokhara and enjoy the delights of Pokhara, taking a trip to a spa massage or listening to live music. Or simply relax in a quiet café, restaurant overlooking the Fewa lake
