Tour Details

Whether you are looking for a classic adventure, or want to experience together the rich diverse ethnic culture and tradition of the highlanders in solitude with beautiful terrain and mountain views in the Annapurna region, Nepal Fair Step Trekking company offers 8 High Mountain Passes trekking, a newly-explored and fairly challenging adventure that takes you through some of Nepal’s most secluded and off-the-beaten high passes, dense forest, arid terrain and fast-moving icy streams. You will also get an opportunity to visit the World’s highest blue water lake, Tilicho Lake (4919m).

Recently, this trekking has become the best option for trekking enthusiasts who love true adventure and spend more time on a longer trek amidst the serene wilderness of the mountains. The main feature of this trek is that one can combine camping, homestays, and tea houses along the way while trekking away from the hustle-bustle environment of urban life in pristine nature. Till now, very few trekkers have done 8 High Mountain Passes trekking.

While trekking, you will see 8,000 meters high mountains like Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, Machhapuchhare (Mt. Fishtail), and Manaslu Himal, and they let you feel as if they are your trekking companion. You will not feel lonely throughout the trek, rather you immersed in the beauty of ‘Mother Nature’.

Your trekking journey to 8 High Mountain Passes begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and the next day morning you will continue a 3-hour drive in a local jeep from Pokhara to Sikles, a beautiful Gurung village surrounded by lush greenery. Here you will explore the Sikles village, and immerse in the indigenous culture and hospitality.

At Nepal Fair Trekking, we’re here to make your long-dream 22-day trekking an unforgettable adventure. Our team is led by an experienced professional trekking guide and a dedicated and reliable team of porters. Our team is well-trained to handle any emergencies that may arise during the trek. Despite our commitment to safety and quality service, our 8 High Mountain Passes trekking package is highly competitive in terms of cost.
