What to expect during the Manang Jeep Tour?
Annapurna Manang Jeep Trip is the perfect way to see Nepal's most picturesque Himalayan valleys. This enchanting ride includes a variety of typical highways and countryside detours as the jeep rises from the low hills of Besisahar to the high Manang altitudes. Exciting and safe at the same time, the river crossings, mountain winding roads, and rocky mountain trails will give you a thrilling experience.
As the elevation rises, the variety of landscape changes, and the transition happens in a gradual manner. Imagine leaving behind the cozy green mountain hills and descending towards dry, high-altitude land, and the pine covered slopes. You will pass by some villages, namely Chame and Pisang. These communities represent the area's traditions and culture with their stone houses and old-prayer walls.
In Manang, you will be provided with the warmth of the local community as you will be staying in the local tea houses.
You will spend your time in beautiful contemplation areas, and monasteries while the village accompanies you with several short hiking trails for your acclimatization. Higher altitudes will make the air a bit thinner, and the consequences of that are very minor if you stay low, hydrated and go with the flow of the acclimatization.
