Thorung La Phedi

Thorung La Phedi is a popular resting place on the famous Annapurna Circuit Trek in Nepal. It is located at the base of the Thorung La Pass, one of the highest mountain passes in the world. Trekkers usually stop here to rest and get ready before they try to cross the pass, which is very challenging and can be cold and windy.

At Thorung La Phedi, you will find simple guesthouses where you can eat, sleep, and warm up. This spot is important because it helps trekkers adjust to the high altitude before moving higher. The atmosphere here is quiet and peaceful, with amazing views of the mountains around.

If you are planning to do the Annapurna Circuit, spending time at Thorung La Phedi is a smart idea. It helps you stay strong and safe for the big climb ahead to Thorung La Pass, which is over 5,400 meters (17,700 feet) high.
