The triple integral Manaslu Annapurna Dhaulagiri

During this crossing from Manaslu-Naar-Annapurna-Tilicho-Dhaulagiri, the time slows down then stops as simple things are offered to us. This is what this trek will give you from the Tibetan valley of Manaslu, then the wild and unspoiled valley of Naar, the ascent to the desert and arid Tilicho lake to end in this valley at the end of the world the Hidden Valley during the Dhaulagiri Tower.

This trek takes you to discover 3 peaks of more than 8000m. The slender Manaslu, majestic, the chain of Annapurnas that stretches in length to Tilicho, then the Dhaulagiri with its very characteristic spur leading to the summit. During this crossing we pass the passes of the Larkya Pass at 5160 m, then the Kangla La 5300 m, the Mesokanto 5200 m and the French Pass 5200 m. A beautiful trip in altitude through regions with different cultures that can be done in both directions.

Mountain equipment

Take 1 pair of mountain shoes with rigid soles to put light aluminum type crampons to pass some passes if the snow is hard.
