After checking into your rooms and getting refreshed, you'll join a briefing session where we will provide you with detailed information about the trek and other useful details to ensure you’re well-prepared for your adventure.

Explore the rich cultural and historical heritage of Kathmandu Valley with a day of sightseeing that takes you to some of its most significant landmarks. Begin with a visit to Pashupatinath Temple, a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, situated along the banks of the Bagmati River. Next, head to Bauddhanath Stupa, one of the largest and most important Buddhist stupas in Nepal, known for its massive mandala and the all-seeing eyes of Buddha. Continue to the Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, perched atop a hill and offering panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley while surrounded by playful monkeys. Finally, explore Patan Durbar Square, a historic square in Patan renowned for its exquisite Newari architecture, intricately carved temples, and vibrant local culture.

After breakfast, we set off for Pokhara by comfortable tourist coach. The drive takes you through lush, lowland farm areas, gradually transitioning to the warmer climate of Nepal's Mid-West. Arriving in Pokhara, you'll be greeted by the stunning shores of Phewa Lake, with its serene waters and panoramic views of the Annapurna peaks. You’ll spend the night in a comfortable, standard tourist hotel in Pokhara, where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

After a pleasant overnight stay in Pokhara, we embark on a short drive to the starting point of our trek at Nayapul or further to Bhirethati village, located beside the Modi River. From here, the trek begins with a gradual ascent through lush landscapes, offering views of rolling hills and the majestic Annapurna peaks. Our first destination for the day is Tikhedhunga, where you can enjoy the scenic beauty and the impressive snow-capped peaks of Annapurna.

From Tikhedhunga, you’ll start your morning with views of the Annapurna peaks. The trek continues with a short but steep climb towards Ghorepani. After a scenic walk of approximately 6 hours, you’ll reach Ghorepani, where you’ll stay overnight. This village is renowned for its breathtaking vistas and serves as a perfect base for the excursion to Poon Hill, renowned for its stunning sunrise views

After a pleasant overnight stay in Ghorepani, the morning trek begins with a descent followed by a steady climb towards Tadapani. Along the way, you'll continue to enjoy high Himalayan views of the Annapurna region. Upon reaching Tadapani, you'll settle in for the night, taking in the serene environment and stunning vistas.

After a hearty breakfast, we embark on our trek towards Chhomrong. The trail initially follows a gradual winding path, paved with fine stonework, leading us above Chomrong village. We then make a short descent into the large and welcoming village of Chomrong, where we’ll spend the night. Chomrong is one of the largest Gurung villages in the Annapurna region and serves as the last permanent settlement on the route to Annapurna Base Camp and Sanctuary. Beyond Chomrong, the area is inhabited only by temporary settlements catering to trekkers.

We set off on a picturesque trail through the Annapurna region, heading towards our accommodation for the night at the Himalayan Hotel. The day's walk offers stunning views of the Himalayan range, enhancing our trekking experience. After a rewarding day, we’ll rest and stay overnight at the Himalayan Hotel.

After a refreshing overnight stay at the Himalayan Hotel, we begin our walk towards the highlight of our trek—Annapurna Base Camp. Our route takes us through the stunning Annapurna Sanctuary, starting from Machhapuchare and leading us onto a vast plateau surrounded by majestic peaks. As we approach Annapurna Base Camp, we’ll encounter a welcoming signpost marking our arrival at this iconic destination. Situated at an elevation of over 4,095 meters, the base camp offers breathtaking views of Mt. Annapurna and surrounding peaks such as Vara-Shikar, Gangapurna, and Annapurna South. This unique base camp, the only one of its kind in the Himalayas with cozy lodge facilities, provides an unforgettable experience with spectacular mountain vistas right from your room.

After savoring the breathtaking scenery and memorable moments at Annapurna Base Camp, we embark on a long descent, with a few short ascents along the way. Our journey takes us through lush vegetation and tall tree lines, a refreshing change from the arctic climate of the base camp and sanctuary. We will reach Bamboo, a charming spot nestled in the verdant hills, where we will spend the night. Enjoy the transition back to the more temperate environment as we continue our trek through this beautiful region.

On the return journey, we trek back to Chomrong, navigating a mix of ascents and descents. From the hilltop of Chomrong, we take a new trail that leads us to Jhinu, a picturesque village perched on a ridge with stunning views of rolling hills and surrounding mountains. Jhinu is renowned for its natural hot springs, which are a short, scenic half-hour walk downhill from the village. The hot springs feature two soothing warm pools nestled beside the rushing Modi River, offering a relaxing experience after our trek.

On the final day of our Annapurna Base Camp trek, we descend through charming farm villages, following the Modi River downstream. The path leads us to lower, warmer areas and rural settlements. From there, we embark on a scenic drive back to Pokhara, where you’ll find comfort in one of the lovely hotels near the serene shores of Phewa Lake. Enjoy your last night in the beautiful city of Pokhara, reflecting on the memorable journey and the stunning landscapes of the Annapurna region.

In the morning, we transfer you for the journey back to Kathmandu. The drive takes you through scenic landscapes, passing charming farm villages and bustling towns, before climbing up into the Kathmandu Valley. After an exciting 5-6 hour drive, you will arrive in Kathmandu and be transferred to your hotel.
