Today's route is short from the distance. There are no villages all year round and so the choice of accommodation is not that big. We stay in a lodge in Thorong Phedi. If we are little lucky, we will see a herd of blue sheep on the mountain slopes above the path. This afternoon we rest for tomorrow's pass crossing, which is the most highlight of annapurna circuit.

Today we have to tackle the long way to Muktinath. Even before dawn, we start with headlamps. The path leads in serpentines over stony terrain up to a large lateral moraine. There is hardly a better feeling than reaching the summit of a Himalayan pass after a strenuous climb. Above, the prayer flags flutter in the wind. It takes the printed prayers with him to the gods who lives on the Himalayan peaks. Here, the wind may carry the prayers to Annapurna. The name Annapurna belongs to the mountain goddess, who is based on the high peaks of the Annapurna massif. Annapurna means "the goddess of food" and is considered the form of goddess Parvati from Hindu mythology. Here we enjoy the magnificent view. The descent is long and brings us almost 1600 meters down to the mysterious pilgrimage Muktinath, 3800 m. Overnight in Lodge in Muktinath (B/L/D)
This morning we visit the temple complexes of Muktinath, which are worshiped by Hindus and Buddhists. The Hindus make a pilgrimage to the sacred waters of Muktinath, which gushes out of 108 bronze gargoyles. The Buddhists pay homage to the eternal, sacred fire in the monastery, which is fed by a natural gas well. In the afternoon we walk from Muktinath to Lupra. Here is well hidden a monastery of Bön religion. This is the ancient religion of Tibet, which was later replaced by Buddhism. Only in a few places in the Himalayas is the Bön religion still practiced, with its partly ritual and shamanistic elements.
