Annapurna Himal Transportation

There are periodic flights from Pokhara to Jomosom that can be booked by a travel agent in Nepal. I’m not sure if you can book internationally though so I’ll leave that up to you.

There are not too many flight options to Manang I’m afraid. However, I met a group of rich Swiss hikers that spent $1,000 to be flown by helicopter from Pokhara to Manang. So if you’re loaded this might be a way to arrive into the region in style.

You would need to research which trek you want to do. Each trek has a different access point. If you are doing the Annapurna Circuit, then you’re best off starting at Basisahar. You can get to there by bus or taxi whether you’re coming from Pokhara or Nepal. Some buses leave in the early morning and drop you just in time for lunch. Therefore, there is usually no need to spend the night here. Just start walking and sleep down the road like we did.

The closet thing to motorized transportation! Some could be seen stacked with cases of soda, bags of rice and who kmows what else.
If you hear bells behind, you better get out of the way though!

For transport is the donkey the main transporter, everywhere you can see donkey's transporting all kind of stuf, coca cola, rice, food, etc.

There is a little airfield near Manang in a village called Omre. Two or three times a week a little airplanes comes to take the sick or tired hikers and and local people back to Pakhara.
