This route represents the high part of the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal in the unusual clockwise direction.
It starts in Muktinath, the last bigger village just south of the Mustang area. The route starts climbing up to the high Pass Thorung La at 5416m. Afterwards it descends towards Manang, the main village on the northern side of the Annapurna range at an elevation of around 3500m. It passes through the really small places Phedi, Churi Ledar, Yak Kharka and Gunsang.
