What to Expect During the Hike through Thorang La Pass?
Crossing the Thorang La Pass is one of the challenging Himalayan Pathways in the Annapurna Circuit Trekking Route. Before crossing this pass, trekkers will stay overnight in Thorang Phedi or High Camp. Hiking from the High Camp is easier than Thorang Phedi. However, it depends on the itinerary and physical condition of the trekkers. Although the route through the pass is challenging, views from the top of the pass are outstanding and worthy.

You can expect little challenges along the way but the views are equally worth enjoying.

During these times, the view of the mountain is crystal clear. Likewise, the favorable weather conditions and excellent temperatures make trekking conditions better.
