Itinerary

View short itinerary

Day 1

Arrival at Kathmandu

When you arrive at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative from our organization will greet you and wish you a warm welcome to Nepal before driving you to the hotel you've reserved. After the check-in process is complete, you can unwind and sleep at the hotel. In order to familiarize you with some good restaurants, ATMs, money changers, and other vital places you might need during your stay in Thamel, the office staff will later accompany you on a brief tour of the neighborhood.

Day 2

Sightseeing around Kathmandu Valley

After breakfast, we will introduce you to your tour guide and arrange for him to pick you up at your hotel for a fascinating excursion to Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath.

Day 3

Fly to Pokhara (827m/2,712ft) & Drive to Ghandruk (1,940m/6,363ft)

We fly early in the morning to Pokhara, a lovely lake city, where we get fantastic views of the Himalayas from the right side of the aircraft. We drive to Ghandruk via Nayapul for the trek after arriving at Pokhara airport (1 hour and 20 minutes away). Today, if there is time, we also go to the Gurung museum.

Day 4

Trek from Ghandruk to Chhomrong (2,170m/7,117ft)

At this point, we begin the hour-long ascent to Kimrungdanda. Great views of Gangapurna, Hiunchuli, Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre), and Annapurna South are available as we travel. We make a rapid descent to reach the Kimrong Khola. We descend for a while before making a pleasant ascent to Chhomrong from Kimrong Khola after another arduous trek to Chere Danda. A stunning settlement called Chhomrong may be found on the slopes of the enormous Annapurna mountain.

Day 5

Trek from Chhomrong to Bamboo (2,310m/7,576ft)

The bridge above Chhomrong Khola is crossed after we descend the 2500 stone stairs. From here, Sinuwa is reached via a steep ascent. After that, we proceed through a lovely forest to Kuldihar before making an easy descent to Bamboo.

Day 6

Trek from Bamboo to Deurali (3,230m/10,594ft)

We move through a chilly, damp bamboo grove before making a steady ascent with a few steep stretches. The forest only opens up and we are once more outside in the sunshine with breathtaking views of the glacier river below once we reach Himalaya Hotel. To access Hinku Cave, one must hike steeply up through a much drier forest. From here, we can see how the trail descends down the river before ascending once more to Deurali, the day's most picturesque section. A spectacular view of the valley, the river below, and the steep rock cliffs above with bands of wispy waterfalls is made possible by the sparser vegetation.

Day 7

Trek from Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m/13,546ft) via Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m/12,136ft)

Gently ascend through a riverbed and then cross a rocky trail to reach the mountainside. It's a moderately challenging hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp. It is undoubtedly a pleasant experience to see the spectacular Machhapuchhre, Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna from Machhapuchhre base camp. On our route to ABC, the foliage fades, and as we approach the Annapurna refuge, the path expands. From here, we have breathtaking views of Annapurna's south face, which is almost vertical and towers above us. The sanctuary has a panoramic vista that is unobstructed in all directions. We once more enjoy spectacular views of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and Hiunchuli from the base camp.

Day 8

Descend from Annapurna Base Camp to Bamboo

We reverse our route back to Bamboo after leaving the Annapurna base camp. The journey today is downhill, so it shouldn't be too challenging. In addition, we will always have the magnificent scenery to cheer us up.

Day 9

Trek from Bamboo to Jhinu Danda (1,760m/5,772ft)

It is an uphill climb from Bamboo to Kuldighar and then a downward stroll to Chhomrong Khola. Then we ascend Chhomrong's stone steps. After that, the path drops to Jhinu Danda, where we will spend the night. Today we will have the chance to relax at the hot springs, which are just a 15 to 20 minute downhill stroll from Jhinu Danda.

Day 10

Drive to Pokhara

We have the opportunity to take in the breathtaking western Nepali hill scenery as we travel from Jhinu Danda to Pokhara. We stop for lunch in route.

Day 11

Fly back to Kathmandu

We fly to Kathmandu in the afternoon. After arriving in Kathmandu, we will be escorted to our hotel. We enjoy the day leisurely or catch up on shopping or explore any landmarks we missed during our first day in Kathmandu.

Day 12

Leisure day at Kathmandu

A leisurely day in Kathmandu is followed by a celebration and farewell dinner. You can request that your guide take you on a tour of the Kathmandu Valley. You can visit the Narayanhiti Museum, which was formerly the residence of the last monarch of Nepal, as well as other museums in the valley on this day. You could also visit Nagarkot's summit.
