At dawn the trail climbs out of a sleeping village and the wind begins to push prayer flags sideways—this is the rhythm of the Annapurna Two Pass Trek. Over fourteen days walkers move from Kathmandu’s warm valley through river gorges and high, barren ridgelines to stand atop Kang La (≈5,315 m) and Thorong La (5,416 m), where the world narrows to peaks and sky.

Acclimatize before high passes
Schedule rest days (Manang or Yak Kharka) and ascend slowly—acute mountain sickness risk increases above 3,500 m.
Layer for big swings
Temperatures vary from warm valley days to below‑freezing nights; pack a breathable insulating midlayer and waterproof shell.
Hydration and sun protection
High UV at altitude and dry air increase dehydration and sunburn risk—carry 2–3 L/day and a high‑SPF sunscreen.
Cash for villages
Tea houses accept cash only in remote stretches—carry Nepali rupees and small notes for food, hot showers and tips.
Sturdy trekking boots
Support and traction for rocky trails, scree and snowy approaches on high passes.
Warm down jacket
Lightweight insulation for pre‑dawn starts and exposed high camps above 4,000 m.
