Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive Highlights
15 days Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive Overview
One of the busiest trekking destinations in Nepal, the 15-day Annapurna Circuit Trek, which includes inner lines to Jomsom by flight or drive, circumnavigates all the Annapurna ranges, including Annapurna I (8,091 m), the 10th highest peak in the world. This is a high-altitude trek, with quiet green forest trails dotted with suspension bridges, pretty waterfalls, and a couple of small villages to trek through.
You will be surprised by the beautiful scenery of humongous white Himalayas such as Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Mt. Annapurna I (8,091 m), Mt. Manaslu (8,163 m), Annapurna II (7,937 m), Annapurna III (7,555 m), Annapurna IV (7,525 m), Mt. Annapurna South (7,219 m), Nilgiri (7,041 m), Machhapuchhare (6,998 m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441 m), Mt. Lamjung Himal (6,986 m), and Tilicho Peak (7,134 m). The massive Himalayas extend their massive arms wide enough to embrace you. All these remarks encourage the trekkers to trek the Annapurna region of Nepal.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek is moderately demanding and hence a very strong recommendation for physically fit and adventure-loving trekkers. Although technical climbing is not required, the trek includes long walking days, varied landscapes, and high-altitude passes, especially the walk to Thorong La Pass (5,416 m).
While going through some of the villages, rural villagers are encountered too. Their lifestyle, tradition, culture, and language come into sight. Apart from that, Nepali local cuisine could be eaten, and trekking could be experienced.
Route Description
The 15-day Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive starts with a scenic drive to Besisahar. Along the route, you’ll encounter green farm fields, high hills, pass along the rivers, several settlements, and colorful markets. As you reach Besisahar, rent a jeep and start your second drive of the day to Dharapani, where you're staying for today.
Your trek to the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive officially begins from Dharapani to Chame. Then you trek to Upper Pisang, then Manang. Spent an acclimatization/rest day in Manang, and if your body allows, take a short trek to Chhongkar View Point (3,800 m) via Gangapurna Lake.
The trek follows a route of ascending through dense forest and well-trodden trails, and you pass through Ledar and finally reach the best place of the trek, Thorong La (5,416 m). You will be surprised by the view of the vision of the breathtaking white-capped Himalayas, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and others. Then descend to Muktinath Temple, which is a renowned temple that is worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists. After viewing Muktinath, descend to Kagbeni via Jhong and then Jomsom. You can drive down or fly to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu.
Nepal Trekking Rangers offers you a customised itinerary according to your requirements. We offer you several other trekking packages in the Annapurna Region, which is similar to the Annapurna Circuit Trek with a Jomsom flight or drive.

Evening briefing on Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive. Brief your trek schedule and required gear, and meet your guide. If time allows, have a walk around Thamel and enjoy the vibrant bazaar.
You drive today to Besisahar. You have breakfast at your hotel, pack your gear in the vehicle, and start your trekking journey. You will drive through picturesque views of the Trishuli and Marsyangdi rivers. The trail passes through various small villages and passes by small, colorful markets. If the weather clears, you will have snow-capped Himalayas visible on the horizon. Take a break at Bennisahar and rent a local vehicle, and start your way to Dharapani. Dharapani is the day's last destination.
After breakfast at your teahouse, your Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive officially becomes operational as you start getting your legs underway towards Chame. You are trekking in alpine terrain. You start feeling cool, passing through different villages like Bagarchhap and Danakyu, which are Tibetan-influenced. On treks in the thick pine forest, you may get a glimpse of the Lamjung and Annapurna II ridges at a distance.
After passing through the picturesque villages of Timang, Thanchowk, and Koto, along which the Annapurna Circuit trek cuts across the Naar-Phu trail, you will at last arrive at Chame.
Trek climbs up along great pine and rhododendron woods and provides view-stopping scenery of rock faces like Pangdi Danda and Swargadwari Danda. Suspension bridges along the Marsyangdi River are what you will enjoy with your trek while you continue on your Annapurna Circuit Trek with a Jomsom flight or drive. Trek to some villages like Talekhu, Bhratang, and Dhikur Pokhari. You can trek in the dense pine forest and get a sight of the Annapurna II, Pisang Peak, Chulu Peak, and Tilicho Peak on the horizon. You will be trekking along the suspension bridge and further on to Upper Pissang. You have lovely Himalayan views in Upper Pisang with the Annapurna ranges, Pisang Peaks, and other lovely hills. Trekkers may become short of breath when climbing a high-altitude, steep section; be prepared.
You trek today from Upper Pisang to Nagwal after breakfast and with a beautiful view. The trek passes through old monasteries, Buddhist stupas, and barren alpine meadows. The trek is less crowded but offers one of the best views of the Annapurna ranges.
Nagwal is a scenic village on top of a ridge, with the Marsyangdi Valley and Gangapurna visible. Acclimatize and enjoy the lovely panorama of hills, and experience traditional Tibetan-style Himalayan culture.
You arrive at Manang today. Trek to the rain-shadow region of the Annapurna range. You pass through villages like Bagra, through which you might have seen the oldest monasteries of the region, and see the stunning views around.
Manang is a populated village with teahouses, bakeries, and several shops. Manang is a trekkers' acclimatization site. Acclimatize here for the Thorong La Pass. The village offers you pleasant scenery.

You have your whole day free to visit Manang, and according to your body condition, you can trek up to Chhongkar View Point (3,800 m) via Gangapurna Lake.
Or for adventure seekers and altitude gain, the 7-hour return trip to Ice Lake (4,600 m) offers great views of the Chulu and Annapurna peaks. This day avoids altitude sickness and improves your chances of crossing safely over the Thorong La Pass.
After having a warm breakfast, ascend your trail toward Ledar. You’ll walk to the small village of Tengi, cross several other villages, and walk through the Marsyandgi Valley. The little settlement of Ghusang, which consists of a collection of mud-roofed structures, is located close to where the route continues to travel. You’ll climb above the treeline and pass through yak pastures and rocky terrain.
Ledar is a small village of humble teahouses, and it marks the start of your high-altitude hike to Thorong La.
The day hike is a short and difficult one as you climb from Ledar to Thorong Phedi, the base camp of Thorong La Pass. The climb in a short distance takes a boulder-strewn trail, loose rocks, and beautiful scenery. A day hike for an optional high camp to Thorong High Camp can be organized in 2-3 hours of additional walking. The trail presents you with even better Himalayan views. Phedi will get you a good night's sleep in preparation for the daunting pass crossing.
The day is the highlight of the trek as you ascend up Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), the highest trekking pass in the world, of this Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive. The ascent is gentle and easy, and upon arrival at the top, you are welcomed by flapping prayer flags and spectacular panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
Having been drenched with this mountain area's beauty, reach Muktinath. Muktinath is a sacred pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus. Soaking in the majesty.
Have a sacred dip in the Muktinath pool early in the morning, if you don't mind, and start descending your trekking path to Kagbeni via Jhong. The path provides you with a glimpse of the secluded culture of Upper Mustang. The deserts, old monasteries, and Tibetan style leave you spellbound.
Kagbeni is located at the meeting point of the Jhong River and the Kali Gandaki River and offers breathtaking, scenic sights of Nilgiri and arid areas. It is also the endpoint of a trek to the Upper Mustang region.
Today is the final day of walking through the well-maintained, beautiful trekking trails of the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Jomsom Flight or Drive. The trail continues to the apple orchard of Nepal and you’ll trek through the Kali Gandaki Valley.
Enjoy the descent hike, and when you get to Jomsom, you start to notice facilities, and there is a tiny airstrip. Treat yourself to the successful end of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, enjoy warm apple pie, or take in the nearby eco-museum before flying or driving on to Pokhara the next day.
Fly to Pokhara today in a brief flight. The flight provides you with a view of the Himalayas and the Kali Gandaki Gorge.
Or drive on a scenic route to Pokhara. Pokhara is a beautiful place where you have magical views of the Himalayas and the surrounding scenery. You can rent a boat and go boating on Phewa Lake. Or just walk on the lakeside in the evening and have a cozy dinner at an upscale restaurant.

Traveller Review
5.0 Rating out of 5 based on 1850 ReviewsHis quite nature, and taking care of things when and where required.
I spent over one month with Yuddha, his wife and team of assistants on treks and religious travel namely i) Annapurna , 5 days ii) Pokhara and Muktinath, 8 days and iii) Everest Base Camp and Three Passes, 19 days. I must say that my wife and I had wonderful time with Yuddha and his family. Yuddha is a true professional and goes out of way to make things happen. During my time there were several weather related events but Yuddha was able to find solutions for each adverse situation and allow us to continue our journey. He is flexible with timeline, providing facilities and help. My wife also stayed with his family while I was on trek. She thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality provided by his wife. 
Prakash B 20th Oct, 2026 Great Himalaya experience
Hiked the Three Passes trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers and our guide Yuddha. He was a fantastic guide to have on this trek — knowledgeable, professional, and a great match for our group. I’ll be happy to use their services again on our next Himalaya adventure. 
Camper14369775626 12th Aug, 2026 Great holiday on the roof of the world
Yuddha the company owner has taken care of everything from domestic flights to car transfers, hotels etc. He has put together a very individual trip that has left nothing to be desired. Also the hike Anapourna Circuit was perfectly organized. I can only recommend this company to anyone who wants to travel to Nepal individually. 
Laura B 12th Aug, 2026 A wonderful experience
Excellent trek with a group of friends. Yuddah and his team planned and organized everything brilliantly. Professionalism and good atmosphere throughout the trek with the reward of walking in sublime landscapes. 
Al1do 12th Aug, 2026 A Guide Who Truly Spreads Light
Yuddha is the best guide I have ever met. He is sensitive, very experienced, and always cheerful. He answered my questions with openness, honesty, and kindness. He paid close attention to our group’s needs, and I felt completely safe under his guidance. He booked wonderful accommodations for us and handled the meals very professionally as well. I hope I’ll get the chance to hike with him again — I really miss our conversations. 😊 
Ghyzsofi 12th Aug, 2026 Trek with Nepal Trekking experts if you are going to Nepal!
I just finished the Everest Base Camp trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers and would 100% recommend them to anyone coming to Nepal.Yuddha, the owner, is a true professional. From the beginning when I contacted him, he was super responsive and able to provide advice on which trek was best. Whenever I had follow-up questions, he would always respond the same day. They also operate with the utmost integrity. Originally, I was meant to trek with them in 2020, but this was cancelled because of Covid. Yuddha reminded me that I had paid the deposit five years ago (which at the time I had told him to hold on to) and took that off the price — I had completely forgotten.They gave me a warm welcome at the airport as soon as I arrived, and Yuddha met me at my hotel to make sure I had the correct kit, even providing me with things I didn’t have free of charge.On the trek itself, Yuddha was our guide — so knowledgeable, fun, and spoke great English. Every time I asked him a question about the mountains or region, he had an answer. All the tea houses booked were great and had good food. In the evening, he would play cards with us, and if we ever needed help with anything, he was always on hand.Words can’t describe the views you see on this trek — we were completely surrounded by the mountains. Yuddha also made sure we went at a sensible pace to avoid any risk of altitude sickness and to ensure we could take it all in.Overall, it was an experience of a lifetime, and next time I am back in Nepal, I will be trekking with Nepal Trekking Rangers.Thanks so much, Yuddha! 
Eoin W 18th Jun, 2026 Highly recommend
I had an amazing experience trekking in the Everest region with Nepal Trekking Rangers. What truly made this journey special was Yuddha. I first met him as a customer during the trek, and by the end of the trip, we had become friends.Yuddha was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the experience. Even after the tour ended, he continued to check in and offer extra care and help, which really meant a lot. His information, guidance, and genuine concern made the whole trip smooth and memorable.He is a truly nice guy—down to earth, mellow, and easy to be around. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and his work. I highly recommend Nepal Trekking Rangers and especially Yuddha to anyone planning a trek in Nepal. I sincerely hope his business continues to grow strong—he deserves it. 
Tia 15th Oct, 2025 Well organised, authentic Nepalese experience
Wow what an amazing experience we had - thanks to Nepal Trekking Rangers. We wanted a trekking holiday to experience authentic Nepal - vistas, people, places and experiences. Yuddha organised our trip of a lifetime - advising on our itinerary, booking accommodation, internal flights, guides, drivers and where to go and what to do. We did a 3 day guided trek around Nagarkot - for most of the trek we didn't see another tourist. We walked through villages, farm land and saw great views of the HImalaya. Our guide was an easy companion, pointing out sights and translating our discussions with the locals. Next we did the trek to Gokyo Lakes. The whole team made this experience amazing. The trek was planned so our acclimatisation went smoothly. Our trek lengths, route, meal stops and over night accommodation were all considered to make the trek a success. The views and experience were five star. Next we went to Pokhara and relaxed. A short guided day trek to Camp Australia provided great views and another fun experience. Finally back to Kathmandu and a walk around the Patan Durbar area. I recommend Nepal Trekking Rangers if you want an amazing, authentic, organised, safe and fun trip. 
Andrew H 21st May, 2025 The best guides in Nepal!
Nepal Trekking Rangers was phenomenal. Yuddha and his team were communicative, organized, and fairly priced. When our flight to Kathmandu was delayed, Yuddha met us at the airport and ensured we made our connection to Lukla without issue.On the Three Passes trek, Yuddha was exceptional — attentive, flexible, and fun (he taught us Nepali card games we played nonstop). Thanks to Nepal Trekking Rangers, this truly was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! 5 friends. 14 days. 2 high passes. 135 + kms. But countless memories.
5 friends. 14 days. 2 high passes. 135+ kms. But countless memories.Nepal Trekking Rangers ensured that our trek to Nar Phu Valley – Kang La Pass – Thorong La Pass was smooth and incident-free. The team was alert, responsive, and attentive all the way. At one point, we made a decision to tweak the itinerary a bit — our guide Yuddha was extremely proactive in providing alternatives to us, as well as in actioning the changes for the rest of the journey. But most importantly, the team got us back safely. Climbing is one thing, but getting back down safe is equally important.Our experience with Nepal Trekking Rangers has been A1. Incredible Three Passes Trek Experience!
We had an incredible time on our Three Passes trek (and during our whole visit to Nepal) thanks to Nepal Trekking Rangers! I researched trekking guides thoroughly before we started our trip and probably reached out to 15 of them. I decided Nepal Trekking Rangers was the best in terms of reviews, ease of communication, and price. After the trip was complete, I can confidently say I was right to choose them.We had a specific itinerary in mind that needed to fit our schedule, and Yuddha was extremely helpful and accommodating. He answered all our questions promptly during planning and provided extra info, tips, and advice that we wouldn’t have known to ask about. When our international flight to Nepal was delayed by 12 hours, he pulled out all the stops to make sure we still made it to Lukla on time — coming to the airport himself with all the gear we rented, helping us repack into their duffel bags, and storing our suitcases at their office. It was incredibly convenient, and we would have been hugely delayed without his extra effort. He even brought Nepalese rupees to exchange from our USD so we wouldn’t waste time at the airport — and at a better rate!Our guide, Yuddha, was clearly one of the best we saw on the trails. His decades of experience showed. He was kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. He helped us navigate the chaos of Lukla airport, made sure we got the best possible accommodations within our budget, communicated with tea house staff, showed us local plants, animals, and landmarks, and answered all our “Which mountain is this?” questions with patience and insight. He told us amazing stories, taught us a Nepali card game that became a nightly tradition, and kept us safe and confident through tricky sections like Chukhung Ri, glacier crossings, and the steep descents from the passes.When we decided mid-trip to skip an acclimatization day in Dingboche, Yuddha quickly rebooked all our accommodations to adjust the schedule. That flexibility allowed us to return to Kathmandu a day early and enjoy more time in the city — a perfect ending to the trek.Nepal Trekking Rangers clearly employs some of the best in the business, and Yuddha is incredibly skilled and dedicated to making sure guests have an unforgettable experience. After the trek, we visited his office in Kathmandu to share our experience, and he was a warm and gracious host, eager to hear our feedback — which was all glowing.This was a truly memorable trip, and we’re so glad we chose Nepal Trekking Rangers. Perfekter Trek zum Everest Basecamp
We have nothing but positive things to say about our trek with Nepal Trekking Rangers! Our group of three friends was looking for something a little different from the EBC trek and didn’t have time to do the full Three Passes loop. Nepal Trekking Rangers gave us lots of options, and we decided to trek directly to Gokyo Lakes, then over Renjo La and back down to Lukla. It was perfect for us.Our guide, Yuddha, was super knowledgeable, and the team supporting us was kind and helpful throughout. The communication before and after the trek was excellent, and when we ran into a small snag during our journey, Yuddha handled it smoothly and professionally.I can’t say enough about how experienced, well-connected, and genuinely kind everyone was. We had an amazing trip, and you’ll be in great hands with Nepal Trekking Rangers.
