Manang Motorcycle Adventure 13 days Tour and Trek (altitude: 4919 metres) is a golden opportunity for all those who are fond of both riding and hiking for adventure as well as sightseeing activities in Pokhara. It is pretty similar to Mustang, but the riding track is more difficult than Mustang, and in addition, trekking in the Himalayas could be extra adventurous and challenging. Manang is a Himalayan town situated in the broad valley of the Marshyandi River to the north of the Annapurna mountain range in the Manang District of Nepal. The altitude of this town is 3519 metres (11,545 ft) above sea level. To the west, the 5416 metre (17,769 ft) Thorung La Pass leads to Muktinath Shrine and the valley of the Gandaki River. To the north, there is the Chulu East peak at 6,584 meters (21,601 ft). In Manang, there is a medical centre, which specializes in high altitude sickness. Trekkers or riders acclimatise in Manang prior to going hiking to the North at high altitude or crossing the Thorung La Pass to Muktinath shrine.
