A journey through two of Nepal’s most iconic regions, this Women Only trek combines the lush river valleys and soaring peaks of the Annapurna Circuit with the ancient, high‑desert landscapes of the former Kingdom of Mustang. Trekkers follow the Marsyangdi River into alpine terrain, visit the shimmering waters of Tilicho Lake, and cross the legendary Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters before descending into Mustang’s windswept canyons and ochre cliffs.

Here, Tibetan‑influenced culture thrives in medieval walled cities like Lo Manthang, home to centuries‑old monasteries, cave complexes, and timeless traditions. Along the way, you’ll explore sacred pilgrimage sites such as Muktinath, wander through vibrant Manangi and Thakali villages, and experience dramatic contrasts. From snow‑covered Himalayan giants to Mustang’s desert plateaus shaped by myth and history.
