2025 Khangsar Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#nepaltrip Hiking to Mt. Manang in Nepal was one of the most marvelous experiences of my life. The journey through the high-altitude trails was both challenging and breathtaking. Surrounded by the towering peaks of the Annapurna range, every step revealed stunning views of snow-capped mountains, deep valleys, and crystal-clear skies. At over 3,000 meters above sea level, the air was crisp and refreshing, and the silence of the mountains brought a deep sense of peace. The traditional villages along the way added charm and warmth to the adventure. Reaching Manang, with its panoramic views, felt like standing on top of the world. It was truly a majestic and unforgettable hike.

On the way to Annapurna Circuit, Nepal. We head from Thorong Pass to Mukchinath, where the view is also spectacular. It's downhill so you can feel at ease, and you can see the Nilgiri and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges ahead. There is a temple at our destination, Mukchinath, and it is crowded with tourists. This is also a wonderful temple, so I recommend you to visit it. You can buy a bus ticket from Mukchinath to Pokhara, and the trekking of Annapurna Circuit will end. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/et19Jce8za5KkyLWA #0yentripFebruary2025#Nepal #Pokhara

On the way to Lake Tilicho on the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, the scenery was spectacular, and it was the best view on the circuit. First of all, the snow-covered mountains, including Annapurna, are right in front of you. In exchange, the footing is unstable, and there is a fear that if you step off even a little, you will fall down... Many people skip Lake Tilicho due to the number of days, but the road is beautiful, so it is definitely worth going! #0yentripFebruary2025#Nepal #Annapurna

I visited Tilicho Lake in Nepal, on the Annapurna Circuit. Although it was frozen (lol) March is recommended as the trekking season for Annapurna, but the lakes at higher altitudes were still frozen. In summer, you can see a clear blue lake here. Instead, you can experience a world completely covered in snow and mountains, without even footprints. However, climbing through the snow is very tiring (lol) 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ggu44tCVSGtCNa2u9

#getgoing2025 Annapurna Circuit Trek Circumnavigating the Annapurna Massif: The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a classic trek that circumnavigates the Annapurna massif. Diverse Landscapes and Cultures: The trek offers a diverse range of landscapes, from subtropical valleys to high mountain passes, and passes through various ethnic villages. Thorong La Pass: The highest point of the trek is the Thorong La pass (5,416m), offering breathtaking views. Longer Trek: The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a longer trek, typically taking 10-14 days to complete.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek was such an unforgettable experience. I did it over 18 days, taking it slow, and that was definitely the way to go. I did a bunch of short side treks, which gave me time to enjoy the views and get used to the altitude. The landscapes were incredible—everything from forests to huge snowy mountains. It was tough at times, especially with the altitude and the long hikes, so I was really glad I did it with a group of friends. Even though it was challenging, I’m so happy I did it. Thorong La Pass at 5416m is still the highest Ive hiked so far. So proud of it, surely will try to beat it on another hike 😁 #mountainhike #nepal #mountainview #himalayas

I just returned from an amazing trek to Tilicho Lake, and I’m still in awe! 🌟 This stunning lake, perched at an altitude of 4,919 meters, is one of the highest in the world, and the views are simply breathtaking! 😍✨ The trek took about 10-12 days, and for around $500 USD, I had a private guide who made the adventure even more special. We stayed in charming lodges, and while meals and water were separate, the local cuisine was a delightful experience! 🍜💧 🎒 Don’t have the right gear? No problem! I rented everything I needed in Kathmandu (Tamel) for about $100 USD. This journey has truly inspired me, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a breathtaking adventure! 🌍💫 Grab your gear and set your sights on Tilicho Lake—you won’t regret it! 🙌🏽✨ #TilichoLake #TrekkingAdventure #TravelNepal #Inspiration #ExploreMore #AdventureAwaits

#christmastrip The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is still on of the most beautiful hike I have ever done and definitely one of the most challenging thing I have every done !! It is a must for anyone that want to change them self. I recommend it to the adventurous soul, a journey that weaves through diverse landscapes and cultural tapestries. Here are the top five things to do and see along this legendary trek: Thorong La Pass Sunrise: Conquering the Thorong La Pass is a triumph in itself, but the real magic happens at sunrise. Witness the Himalayan giants, including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, bathed in the first light of day, a moment etched in memory forever. Poon Hill Panorama: The detour to Poon Hill is a must for sunrise seekers. The panoramic view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, bathed in hues of orange and pink, is a visual symphony that transcends the rigors of the trek. Muktinath Temple: A sacred site for both Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath is a spiritual oasis along the trail. The temple's eternal flame and 108 waterspouts are believed to cleanse the soul, providing a cultural respite amidst the rugged beauty of the Himalayas. Tilicho Lake Excursion: Venture off the beaten path to the stunning Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world. Nestled amidst towering peaks, its sapphire waters reflect the raw, unbridled beauty of the high-altitude landscapes. Gurung and Thakali Culture: Immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of the Gurung and Thakali communities. From traditional dances to warm hospitality, experiencing the local way of life adds a human touch to the awe-inspiring natural surroundings. The Annapurna Circuit is more than a trek; it's an odyssey through the heart of the Himalayas, where every step unveils a new facet of nature's grandeur and cultural richness.

Climbing up from Muktinath is very difficult because this side is steep all the way. Most of the way is down. It takes 2 days to adjust to the altitude. Otherwise, it will be an AMS before reaching Thorangla Pass. It was 4:00 PM before we could get through. Then we went down to rest at Thorong Pedi.

I finally get around to sharing one of my best high altitude trekking and glacier crossing experiences. This is truly tough and you need to have a tent. You need to do an overnighter. Your progress will be slow as breathing is hard at 5000 - 550 meters. You don’t need to take any water if you go in July/ August as there are tiny water streams everywhere. Now up there nothing talks , nothing, walks, nothing grows. You will truly be alone. Trekking around the lake is extremely tough as you have to cross either one or two glaciers depending on the route you choose. The second glacier which is the last leg of your circle is risky as avalanches will frequently come down from Mr. Tilicho to crash into the lake. As soon as Nepal is open again for tourism I will attempt to climb Mt. Tilicho which looms over the lake like a god-like guardian. #hikingtrails

When I walked into the quiet Ma Nan, I was infected by the joyful atmosphere of the town. The people here are friendly and welcoming. It is a major town on the Annapurna mountainside and a beautiful town surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Its beauty requires a fine taste. There are also many beautiful landscapes that surround the surrounding, making it even more unique.
