26-Day Manaslu Nar Phu Annapurna Three Passes Trek in Nepal

The 26-day Manaslu Nar Phu Annapurna Three Passes Trek is a long-distance Himalayan expedition that crosses Larke La, Kang La, and Thorong La in one continuous route. Over nearly four weeks, trekkers move through remote valleys, restricted areas, and high-altitude terrain where elevation is sustained above 3,500 meters for extended periods.

This journey is built for experienced trekkers who want more than a standard route. It links three Himalayan regions into one long, demanding traverse where altitude and remoteness build gradually.

Trip Overview: Manaslu, Nar Phu and Annapurna 3 Passes Trek

The 26-day Manaslu, Nar Phu and Annapurna 3 Passes Trek is one of the most rewarding long-distance journeys in Nepal.

This extended three-pass expedition links the remote Manaslu region with the hidden Nar Phu Valley and the highlands of Annapurna into one continuous high-altitude route.

Along the way, you will cross three high Himalayan passes, Larke La (5,106m), Kang La (5,320m) and Thorong La (5,416m), each offering wide mountain views across the surrounding Himalayan range.

This expedition suits trekkers who already have high altitude experience and want a longer, more committing route. The trail moves through remote villages, narrow valleys, and high passes where weather and terrain change quickly. The route opens wide views of Manaslu, Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Himlung Himal, and surrounding peaks across three distinct regions.

Why Combine Manaslu, Nar Phu and Annapurna in One Extended Expedition?

This is not simply three popular treks joined together. The Manaslu–Nar Phu–Annapurna Three Passes route is an extended high-altitude expedition that links remote Himalayan regions into one continuous journey across multiple 5,000-meter passes.

Instead of exiting after Larke La or returning from Nar Phu, this route keeps moving eastward and northward across terrain that gradually increases in exposure, altitude, and remoteness. The result is a true multi-region Himalayan traverse.

You begin in the isolated Manaslu highlands, cross Larke La at 5,106 meters, enter the hidden Nar Phu valley, climb Kang La at 5,320 meters, and finally approach Thorong La at 5,416 meters. Few itineraries in Nepal maintain this level of sustained altitude for so many consecutive days.

This extended circuit trek in Nepal is designed for trekkers who want more than a standard route. It is for those who want depth, remoteness, and progression across three distinct Himalayan cultures and landscapes without breaking the journey into separate trips.

The Main Highlights of Your Himalayan Journey

Three High Mountain Passes

Cross three of the Himalayas’ toughest high passes: Larke La (5,106m / 16,752ft), Kang La (5,320m / 17,454ft), and Thorong La (5,416m / 17,769ft). Each pass is physically demanding and exposed to wind and cold. Reaching the top brings wide views across Manaslu, Annapurna, and Dhaulagiri ranges.

Manaslu Region

Trek the quiet and restricted Manaslu Conservation Area. This route gives a real Himalayan experience. You will go around Manaslu (8,163m / 26,781ft), the eighth-highest mountain in the world, and visit remote villages away from busy trekking trails.

Nar Phu Valley

Discover the hidden Nar Phu Valley, a remote and restricted area. The valley has old villages, narrow paths, and traditional Tibetan-style culture. Trekking here gives you a peaceful experience and a chance to see life in one of the Himalayas’ most untouched regions.

Annapurna Region

Finish your trek in the famous Annapurna region, known for its beautiful landscapes and amazing scenery. From high mountain passes to green valleys, this part of the trek shows the natural beauty and variety of the region.

Local Culture

See the rich culture of the Himalayas. You will meet local people, visit old monasteries with colorful prayer flags, and see how villagers live in these remote areas, often the same way they have for generations.

Stunning Views

The landscape shifts gradually as you move higher, from subtropical forests and terraced fields to alpine terrain, glacial valleys, and dry high mountain desert.

Wildlife

You may see rare Himalayan animals. The remote Manaslu and Nar Phu areas are home to snow leopards, blue sheep, and many special Himalayan birds.

Manaslu Region Section

Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu (1,350 meters / 4,429 feet)

Welcome to Nepal! When you land at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our team will meet you and take you to your hotel. After you settle in, we’ll have a detailed briefing about the trek, covering safety, the daily schedule, and the route ahead. You’ll meet your guide and have time to ask any questions. The rest of the day is free to relax and get ready for the adventure.

Day 2: Drive from Kathmandu to Machha Khola (870 meters / 2,854 feet)

Your journey kicks off with a scenic 8 to 10 hour drive from Kathmandu. You’ll travel along winding roads, passing terraced hills and traditional villages. As you leave the busy Kathmandu Valley, the scenery shifts to peaceful rural landscapes. Following the Trishuli and Budhi Gandaki Rivers, you’ll get your first glimpse of the Himalayan foothills. We’ll arrive in Machha Khola, a small Gurung village, for the night.

Day 3: Trek from Machha Khola to Jagat (1,340 meters / 4,396 feet)

Today, your trek begins! This 6/7-hour walk follows the Budhi Gandaki River through subtropical forests and over suspension bridges. You’ll pass a hot spring at Tatopani and continue along a rugged trail to Khorlabeshi. The path gets tougher as you climb rocky terrain to reach Jagat, the entry point to the Manaslu Conservation Area.

Day 4: Trek from Jagat to Deng (1,860 meters / 6,102 feet)

Another 6/7-hour trek takes you deeper into the Manaslu region. The landscape shifts to cooler, higher altitudes with lush forests of rhododendron and pine. You’ll cross small waterfalls and streams and pass through villages like Philim, known for its unique culture, before arriving in Deng.

Day 5: Trek from Deng to Namrung (2,630 meters / 8,629 feet)

This 5.5/6-hour trek brings you further into the Manaslu region. The trail gets steeper, and you’ll notice Tibetan influences like prayer flags, mani walls, and chortens. After crossing the Budhi Gandaki River again, you’ll pass quiet hamlets. As you near Namrung, you’ll catch your first stunning views of the Manaslu Himal and nearby peaks.

Day 6: Trek from Namrung to Lho (3,180 meters / 10,433 feet)

Today’s 4/5-hour trek is shorter to help you adjust to the altitude. The trail climbs through alpine scenery, passing charming traditional villages. In Lho, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Manaslu (8,163 meters / 26,781 feet) and other peaks, making it a great spot to spend the night.

Day 7: Trek from Lho to Samagaun (3,530 meters / 11,581 feet)

This 5/6-hour trek takes you through forests and open landscapes with stunning mountain views. Samagaun is one of the largest villages on the Manaslu region, known for its tidy homes and a large monastery. You’ll spend the night here, surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery.

Day 8: Rest and Explore in Samagaun

To help your body adjust to the altitude, today is a rest day in Samagaun. It’s not about sitting still-you can choose from several activities, like visiting the Birendra Lake, hiking to the peaceful Pungyen Gompa monastery, or taking a challenging day hike to Manaslu Base Camp for close views.

Day 9: Trek from Samagaun to Samdo (3,860 meters / 12,664 feet)

This shorter 3/4-hour trek leads to a high-altitude, barren landscape. You’ll follow the Budhi Gandaki River and cross pastures to reach Samdo, a Tibetan refugee village with strong cultural ties to Tibet. The surrounding peaks offer spectacular views.

Day 10: Trek from Samdo to Dharmasala (Larke Phedi) (4,460 meters / 14,633 feet)

This 4/5-hour trek brings you to the last teahouse before the Larke La Pass. The trail climbs steadily through sparse alpine terrain. Dharmasala, also called Larke Phedi, is a simple stone lodge at the base of the pass. We’ll rest early to prepare for the big day ahead.

Day 11: Cross Larke La Pass (5,106 meters / 16,752 feet) to Bhimtang (3,700 meters / 12,139 feet)

This is one of the toughest yet most rewarding days. Starting early, you’ll climb for 4 to 5 hours to reach the Larke La Pass. The views from the top, including Himlung Himal, Cheo Himal, and Annapurna II, are breathtaking. After a short break, you’ll descend for about 4 hours over steep, rocky terrain to Bhimtang.

Day 12: Trek from Bhimtang to Tilje (2,300 meters / 7,546 feet)

Today’s 6/7-hour trek is a scenic descent through rhododendron and pine forests, with streams and waterfalls along the way. The air gets warmer as you lose altitude. You’ll arrive in Tilje, a peaceful village home to Gurung and other ethnic groups.

Nar Phu Valley & Annapurna Circuit Highlands

Day 13: Trek from Tilje to Dharapani to Koto (1,963 meters to 2,600 meters)

This 4/5-hour walk starts with a descent to Dharapani, where the Manaslu highland route connects with trails leading toward the Annapurna highlands. From there, you’ll trek a few hours to Koto, the gateway to the Nar Phu Valley. We’ll register special permits at the police check-post as the landscape and culture shift dramatically.

Day 14: Trek from Koto to Meta (3,560 meters / 11,680 feet)

Today, you enter the remote Nar Phu Valley with a 6/7-hour climb along the Nar Khola river through a narrow gorge. The scenery turns rugged and arid, with ancient caves and rock formations. Meta is a seasonal settlement used by yak herders, offering stunning views.

Day 15: Trek from Meta to Phu Gaon (4,080 meters / 13,386 feet)

This 7/8-hour trek takes you through a high-altitude desert-like landscape. You’ll cross suspension bridges and pass ancient chortens before reaching the walled village of Phu Gaon, an ancient trading post with a strong Tibetan Buddhist culture.

Day 16: Rest and Explore in Phu

Another acclimatization day lets you explore the historic village of Phu. You can visit the centuries-old Tashi Lhakhang Monastery or, if you’re feeling energetic, hike toward Himlung Himal Base Camp for stunning views and extra altitude adjustment.

Day 17: Trek from Phu to Nar (4,110 meters / 13,484 feet)

This 6/7-hour trek is scenic, retracing some steps before heading to Nar. This large, historic village has a unique vibe with prayer flags and mani walls. The locals are welcoming, and you can learn about their traditional lifestyle.

Day 18: Rest and Explore in Nar

Another acclimatization day prepares you for the Kang La Pass. A short hike helps you gain altitude and descend, aiding in preventing altitude sickness. You can visit the village’s monastery and dive deeper into the local culture.

Day 19: Cross Kang La Pass (5,320 meters / 17,454 feet) to Ngawal (3,660 meters / 12,008 feet)

This challenging 8/10-hour day starts early to climb the Kang La Pass. The steep ascent rewards you with stunning views of Annapurna III, Gangapurna, and Himlung Himal. The long, steep descent to Ngawal requires careful steps but is worth it.

Day 20: Trek from Ngawal to Manang (3,540 meters / 11,614 feet)

This shorter 3/4-hour trek joins the main Annapurna Circuit trail and leads to Manang, a lively village with bakeries, cafes, and reliable internet. It’s a great spot to relax and enjoy modern comforts.

Day 21: Trek from Manang to Yak Kharka (4,050 meters / 13,287 feet)

Today’s 3/4-hour trek is a gradual climb with views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. You’ll cross streams and pass grasslands with grazing yaks and horses, arriving at the small settlement of Yak Kharka.

Day 22: Trek from Yak Kharka to Thorong Phedi (or High Camp) (4,450 meters / 14,600 feet)

This short 3/4-hour trek aids acclimatization and give your body some well deserved rest. The trail climbs along a ridge to Thorong Phedi, the base for the final pass. If you want a shorter next day, you can hike an extra 1 to 1.5 hours to High Camp for the night.

Day 23: Cross Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters / 17,769 feet) to Muktinath; Drive to Jomsom

The final and highest pass awaits! Starting before sunrise to avoid strong winds, this 8/9-hour trek is tough but rewarding. The Thorong La Pass, decorated with prayer flags, offers a stunning 360-degree view. You’ll descend steeply to Muktinath, a sacred site for Hindus and Buddhists, then take a 1/1.5-hour jeep ride to Jomsom.

Day 24: Fly from Jomsom to Pokhara (822 meters / 2,697 feet)

A quick 20-minute flight from Jomsom to Pokhara offers incredible views of the Kali Gandaki gorge. In Pokhara, you can relax at your hotel and spend the afternoon exploring the beautiful lakeside city.

Day 25: Fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu

A short 25/30-minute flight brings you back to Kathmandu. After checking into your hotel, you can explore the city, shop for souvenirs in Thamel, or enjoy a farewell dinner to celebrate your incredible journey.

Day 26: Depart Nepal

Why Trek with Mosaic Adventure? Our Commitment to Quality and Safety

We have operated in the Manaslu, Nar Phu, and Annapurna regions for many years. Linking all three into one continuous high pass expedition requires more than simply extending an itinerary. Permits must align across restricted areas, acclimatization has to be spaced correctly, and transitions between valleys need to be timed carefully. We manage those details long before you arrive.

This combined three passes route is not requested by beginners. It is usually chosen by trekkers who have already completed major high altitude routes and are looking for something longer and structurally harder. We approach it with that level of seriousness.

On the trail, our guides focus on pacing and observation. They monitor hydration, appetite, sleep patterns, and early altitude symptoms rather than pushing speed. All guides are trained in wilderness first aid and high altitude response. In remote sections such as Nar Phu, communication planning and contingency decisions matter more than comfort.

Logistics across three regions can become complicated if weather shifts or flights are delayed. Because we operate regularly in these areas, adjustments are handled locally and practically. The goal is not to rush the route, but to move steadily and safely.

We also work with local teahouses and communities along the route. This expedition passes through villages that see far fewer trekkers than mainstream trails. Respect for local culture and responsible waste management are part of how we operate along the route.

If you are considering this expedition, we are happy to discuss preparation, fitness expectations, and seasonal timing honestly. This route rewards careful planning more than ambition.

Practical Information for Your Himalayan Trek

Best Time to Trek

The best time to do this trek is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These months have the most stable weather and clear skies, giving you the best mountain views.

For a broader understanding of seasonal conditions across the Himalayas, see our detailed guide on the best season to trek in Nepal.

Altitude Strategy for Three 5,000m Passes

Crossing Larke La, Kang La, and Thorong La in one itinerary requires a disciplined altitude strategy. Expect multiple nights above 3,500 meters and several days above 4,000 meters.

Our approach follows gradual elevation gain, with acclimatization days in Samagaun, Phu, and Nar before each major pass. Transitions between valleys are spaced deliberately. The time between crossings gives the body room to adapt before the next ascent.

On a multi-pass Himalayan trek like this, success is less about speed and more about controlled pacing, hydration, nutrition, and monitoring early symptoms of altitude stress.

This is why this route should not be attempted as a fast-track version. It is designed as a 26-day high pass trek in Nepal for safety and sustainability at altitude.

Accommodation

You will stay in simple teahouses and lodges along the way. While basic, they are comfortable, warm, and provide a nice place to rest after each day of trekking.

Food

Meals are filling and energy-boosting. You will enjoy local Nepali dishes such as Dal Bhat, as well as Tibetan food and some international options. The meals keep you strong for the long days on the trail.

Permits

Special permits are needed for the Manaslu, Nar Phu, and Annapurna regions. Mosaic Adventure handles all the paperwork, so you don’t have to worry.

Acclimatization

The itinerary includes days to help your body adjust to high altitudes. Climbing slowly and resting properly is very important to stay healthy and avoid altitude sickness.

What to Pack

A full packing list will be given when you book. You will need sturdy trekking boots, warm layers, a good sleeping bag, and basic first-aid items.

You may also find our recommended packing list for trekking in Nepal helpful when preparing for this multi-pass expedition.

Insurance

It is mandatory to have travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency helicopter evacuation. This gives you peace of mind during your adventure.

How Demanding Is This Three Passes Expedition?

The 26-day Manaslu Nar Phu Annapurna Three Passes Trek is a sustained high-altitude Himalayan expedition. It crosses Larke La, Kang La, and Thorong La in one continuous route, with repeated exposure above 4,000 meters and three separate passes above 5,000 meters.

For trekkers researching the most challenging trek in Nepal that does not require technical climbing, this route stands among the strongest contenders.

Unlike single-pass routes, this journey does not descend to low elevations between major crossings. Trekkers remain at altitude for extended periods, which increases cumulative fatigue and requires disciplined pacing. Long ascent days, steep descents, cold morning starts, and remote sections with limited facilities add to the overall demand.

This multi-pass Himalayan trek is best suited for experienced trekkers who have previously completed major high-altitude routes and are comfortable managing sustained physical effort over nearly four weeks.

Structural Comparison With Single-Pass Routes

Route Structure	Highest Pass	Typical Duration	Passes Above 5,000m
Standard Manaslu Route	Larke La (5,106m)	11 to 18 days	1
Standard Annapurna Route	Thorong La (5,416m)	10 to 16 days	1
Manaslu Nar Phu Annapurna Three Passes Expedition	Thorong La (5,416m)	26 days	3

The difference is not only the altitude of the highest pass. It is the sustained exposure to high elevation across multiple regions without exiting the mountains between crossings.

If you are comparing demanding high-altitude routes across the country, you may also find our guide to
Nepal’s most demanding trekking routes helpful for broader context.

Why Three Consecutive 5,000m Passes Change the Equation

Most treks in Nepal cross one major high pass and then descend significantly before the journey ends. This expedition does not follow that pattern.

After crossing Larke La, the route does not return to low valleys for recovery. Instead, it continues into the remote Nar Phu region where elevation remains consistently high. Kang La is crossed after days already spent above 4,000 meters. The final crossing of Thorong La comes when cumulative fatigue has already built up.

The height of each pass matters, but sustained exposure to thin air across multiple regions is what defines this expedition.

This continuous elevation profile places higher demands on:

• Acclimatization discipline
• Hydration and nutrition management
• Energy pacing across three separate summit days
• Mental endurance in remote terrain

For this reason, the 26-day expedition is intentional. Shortening this itinerary increases risk. Spacing between passes allows the body to adapt before the next ascent.

This is what separates a standard high pass trek from a true multi-pass Himalayan expedition.

Who Is This Expedition Designed For?

Trekking this route requires strong fitness, previous high-altitude experience, and the ability to maintain steady effort for long days. Mental endurance is as important as physical strength, especially when crossing high passes in cold and windy conditions.

If you are preparing specifically for extended high-altitude trekking, we recommend reviewing our guide on training for trekking in Nepal.
