It takes about six to eight hour to reach pass, marked my Chorten Buddhist stupa and prayer flags and route you will pass to teahouse, plus one on the pass itself.
The effort is worthwhile as the view from the top-from the Annapurna along the great barrier to the barren Kali Gandaki valley is magnificent from pass you have knee busting and sometimes slippery 1600m downhill to Muktinath(3850m)

This trek was truly a life changing experience - right from the start until the very end. Throughout the trip Devi Baral at Adventure Nepal Eco Treks provided us with a first class service which really did make the difference. We (x2) arrived in Kathmandu without a trek booked as the trip was a last minute decision and we felt better deals could be found if we arranged ourselves. However, once in Kathmandu it becomes difficult to distinguish between the good and bad amongst the many operators touting for business.
In the end I opted to go and see three different companies based upon their reviews and suitably for a flexible trip (we had planned to do both circuit 1 and 2). Of the three I can definitely say that the honest and truthful approach provided by Devi made all the difference - he actually advised us against doing the 2nd circuit as it had changed so much...we should have listened to him! He also had lots of other useful information and above all I found him very genuine, which cannot be said for others.
We agreed a fair price for a guide and porter and enjoyed a memorable trek that we were able to undertake at our own pace, which was important to us as first time trekkers. We initially paid for 21 days to do the full circuit but with aching limbs and a face full of car fumes on the 2nd part, we soon decided to cut it short. Devi completely understood and agreed to give us a refund for the days we didn't use. This was really exceptional service and I do not believe any other operator would have done this.
I should also point out that we both fell sick before starting the trek and Devi allowed us to delay starting until we were 100% better, again with no cost.
Overall, I would recommend anybody to do this trek as the experience is unforgettable! With Devi on your side you are able to tailor your requirements to suit needs!
Fantastic! and life time memory!!
