Memorable things of the trip is first time throng la pass(5419m). we stayed   throng high camp (4700m)instead of Phedi or Throng phedi(4300m). from yak kharka  to high camp was our camp before walking up or crossing throng la(5416m).we stated hotel high camp at the high camp point. Second memorable things in from Jagat to Chamche section there was landslide and stone falling so we walked up top of the hills from Jagat village then down to chamche then stayed  2 hours more camp Tal.

This was the 21 days trip all the way walk from Benshiar to Birethathi within 21 days. I stayed last year Hotel at Jagat but three Spanish people choose Hotel themselves at Jagat. One more memorable things in this trip is we walked from Manang to High camp within 1 day. We jumped the itinerary  1 day so we came pokhara one day before. Third memorable of this trip is three Spanish client choose the hotel at Lete Kalopani themselves . Kalopani alpine forest lodges was the CTVT organized lodges. We start trip from Jomsom but become dark  at the time of reach Kalopani Lete. In kokethahi , they choose the hotel but they donot like Hotel. Most important things in this trip was , of of elder had a Binocular with the  book of the Birds. When birds we see , we were informed him for the research. Another memorable things I remembered that they hired a horse from Kagbeni to Jomsom.

Down to Ghrru or at the beginning time of  steep parts we down to next gorges . we walked forest and forest then mixed in the main road muji near the Bargha village. This trip was my long trip because of  connecting with Annapurna base camp. Can  you believe this was 27 days trip but finished  25 days. Normally I passed the throng la(5416m). Oh!

I did not remember time I think it is before 2003 or After royal massacre  in Nepal. I suppose 2002 spring at April I had another great chance to Annapurna circuit trek with one French Canadian who was 60 by the age at that time. He had a big camera and skill of professional photography. From Dharapani we excursion up to the  Bimthang route of Manaslu circuit. By that time I did not go  at the manaslu trek. We stayed the hotel Dharapani  and next morning ,we go to the kharche, yak kharka. At the basic tea houses we sleep  then next day back to the Dharapni. We stayed that time in Throng phedi. First time I stayed Throng phedi at this trip. In my previous trip used to stay in Throng high camp. Next morning we wake up 3 am for the throng la challenging pass.

This is the time on 2003 October, I had nice time to go annapurna circuit with Throng la pass trek. Like a previous journey this trip in Annapurna circuit also unique. With different customer or guest or client have different great experience. Mr. David who said already been in the Annapurna base camp trek in previous year , this time I like to trek with Guide in Annpurna circuit trip. In Bahun danda I feel difficult for the accommodation the room. In Bahun Danda has just 3 tourist standard Hotel, they like to big number of people rather single. Then, we stay another local normal tea houses in Bahundanda. remember now that time I was the student of Bachelor of Arts first year. Memorable things of the journey is escape from accident. When we walked up to the Tal from Chamche, heard of the donkey crossing our way. Mr. David walk from river side. Another heard of the Donkey come fast then mr. David fall down. Oh! By God grace Donkey man immediately give a hand and pull him. I cannot imagine if he couldnot give hand and catch David. Another memorable days is we have Chances to go world’s highest lake Tilicho from Manang. We stayed Khangsar at the time of trip to Tilicho lake.

Sixth time in Annapurna circuit trek
In the April I had so great chances to Annapurna base camp . This is my memorable trip because I got the trip at the time of difficulty of the money. Middle  of the march I got the trip to go circuit of the Annapurna. I married the same month and got the trip same month. To recover my marriage  money this trip give some help. So I could not forget this trip in this views. Second things, My customer was also very soluble  and understanding person. At the high camp beginning of the trip , she feel vomiting then I told her this is just one symptoms. Before appearing another symptoms ;you already crossing throng la after this all the way down. Why  no try to go Throng la, it is just 3 hours. I give great courage for her and she normally success pass throng la. This evident I remember , still  that I give great courage for her trip.
                                       
Seven time Annapurna circuit trek:

We easily pass the throng la even some  uneasy felt by Donald at the high camp. We had a great party in muktinath at Hotel Bom Barley. Specially in throngla pass we took many video in the throng la. Then we had great time in Hotspring in Tatopani. We stayed hotel Himalaya in tatopani then spent the time near the spring with bath.

Mostly maoist was control the village areas. We had a great party in pokhara on the occasion to finished the great annapurna circuit with Throng la pass trekking. Many people feel free after passing the throng la. Before throng la pass , many trekkers imagination release from tension after crossing throng la. Most of the trekkers mentality  thinking challenging Throng la. They frequently asked how difficult the Throng la. Normally if you are fit physically fit  and normal walking then you can pass the throng la very easily. We meet mr shiva , we used to say him Mr. Shiva even he is trekkers . In pokhara we amuse cocktail party in the Amstardam club in pokhara till midnight. Mr. Donald paid the good cocktail party Bill.

Eight time in Annapurna circuit trek:

Donot said me how are you?, Why you buy only oranges not Beer?
This trip Eight time also unique with French Canadian single guy. I remember one words saying by him that “ you donot buy a Beer, just you Buy oranges”. Still I feel laugh by his this strange natural behavior which he told unbelievable  and simple way. Second interesting things , he told us not saying  ‘How are you’. Mistakably by or average people habit  I told him how are you? Then  he hit me, I feel strange. I remembered that he told me not say him how are you. We have this memorable idea by his humorous nature. After pokhara he go to the Chit wan for Jungle safari. Next year when I go to chit wan , hotel owners in Chit wan told his stories about the how are you.

We only stop for launch at Nwar, then moving to the Manang for next stop.  Life before I follow the itinerary of the upper mustang. Actually I did not meet other people who are extra ordinary.
My last Annapurna circuit trek and Throng la pass
I make the Timms card and got a Annapurna conservation entry fee through my trekking agency document. Since  1 years I have not been in Annapurna circuit so I like to go Annapurna circuit with Lisha Hafner who become our Guest in our Home stay in Kathmandu Nepal. I briefing about the Annapurna circuit route, My experience in Annapurna circuit also I display the detail itinerary map. Then Lisa decided to book Annapurna circuit trek with me for 15 days.  As a Annapurna circuit trekking Guide I walk with Lisha to the Annapurna circuit trek. I had a difference interest and courage because since many months I did not trek at that areas of the Annapurna circuit.
2012 April I been to Annapurna circuit treks with Lisa Hafner who is from Italy. She booked 15 days for Annapurna circuit with me. Same day we ride a jeep to Sange from Benshiar then next day we trek to Tal from Sange. In Tal there are great rain then we decided to stay in tal. We also meet other trekkers in Tal, then we had a chances to chatting with them. In that trip we meet fellow travellers at Tal. Now a days Tal become off road from the Bus journey and there are purpose the Dam side of the upper Gandaki hydropower. Tal itself flat places with falls, river basin of marshayandi river. This time trekkers take jeep to Dharpani from Benishar but we still recommendation go to trek via Bahundada and tal if you like to follow the old route of the Annapurna circuit. From 2013 Ad  jeep road opened  to Chame, the district headquarters of Manang district.
We stayed upper pisang at hotel  pisang , we have chances to meet many other travellers trekkers, than we visit in Tal and Dharapani. We had great night talking and sharing experience with many other trekekrs.  We did not walk up via upper pisang , we follow the route Via Humde village to Manang. Other people follow the routes upper pisang and same day they arrive manang and catch up us. We stay the same fellow Annapurna circuit trekkers  at Hotel  Tilicho in Manang district manang. We rest next day  at Manang village(3500m). Generally manang  is one of the rest day itinerary in Annapurna circuit trek Nepal. There was altitude sickness wariness orientation  after 3 Pm. We look around Gannapurna lakes, enjoy the look around the Manang hills, visit 100 Rupees lama , just vertical up  from Manang Bazzar. Next day we walked 4 hours to the Yak kharka from Manang , stay at Maya Hotel Yak kharka. Next day we take a launch at Throng phedi  and trek to the High camp. I give special information to Lisa Hafner about  staying high camp or Throng phedi. In my experience I recommendation to stay in High camp rather staying in the Thorng phedi. It is difference 400 m, and possible to walk down if feel difficult. In the cases of the throng phedi, if  some body sick they have to back Chauri Ledar. To digest the high altitude we recommendation walking from the upper pisang and staying one night in Nwar village. Then next night Manang no need to rest at the case of staying Nwar one Night. Some people stay at Throng phedi but they could not come because of the headache. After passing Throng la and reach to the Muktinath we know this reality. From Muktinath we walked to the marpha that took more than 8 hours because we also visit kagbeni  just 2 hours down  from Muktinath. From Marpha we ride a Bus to Tatopani. We enjoy the hot spring at the Tatopani then next day we  travel to pokhara by bus.

It already become 3 years that I have not been Annapurna circuit trekking. I see many travellers going there and coming this time. I hope chances  will be favor me very soon for the Annapurna circuit trek. I like to go Mesokanta pass from Tilicho lake and going to Jomsom.
