Thorong Peak trek is an opportunity to climb your “first 6000m” peak. The ascent of Thorong Peak is about 6 hours per hour from Thorong Pass and is not technically difficult. Then you have to go down to Muktinath. The 3 to 7 hours are the same as the Annapurna Trek, with the exception of Thorong Peak from 8 to 10 am at Muktinath Lodge. For the ascent of Thorong, we set up a camp at Thorong Pass at 5350 m. The next day, leave early. One hour to reach the foot of the snow slope with an inclination of about 35 °. Then we sort on a small plateau that we cross in a corridor that we go back to 100 m. Finally, by large slopes slightly inclined, one reaches the summit. It’s a big day because it’s in Muktinath.
