Detailed Itinerary
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative will be waiting to greet you with a placard displaying your name. You will then be transferred to your designated hotel. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner featuring traditional Nepalese cuisine, offering an introduction to the country’s rich food culture.
After breakfast, we will have a pre-trip meeting where you will be introduced to your guide and can ask any questions about the journey ahead.
We then embark on a scenic drive to Pokhara, a beautiful city known for its stunning lakes and mountain views. After arrival, you can take a rest and enjoy a relaxing stroll around the serene Phewa Lake.
After breakfast, we take a short drive to Nayapul, where the trek begins. Passing through Birethanti, we ascend towards Ghandruk, a picturesque Gurung village in the Modi Khola Valley. The village offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna Massif. If time permits, we will visit the Gurung Museum.
We start with a climb to Kimrung Danda, followed by a steep descent to Kimrong Khola. The trail offers stunning views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain). A final ascent leads us to Chomrong, where we stay overnight.
We descend 2,500 stone steps and cross a suspension bridge over Chhomrong Khola. A steep uphill climb takes us to Sinuwa, followed by a pleasant walk through forests leading to Kuldihar and then a descent to Bamboo, where we stay the night.
We ascend gradually through a dense bamboo forest. As we continue, the forest clears near Himalaya Hotel, revealing stunning views of the glacial river below. The trail leads past Hinku Cave, descends closer to the river, and then climbs again to reach Deurali, where we stay overnight.
A gentle ascent through a riverbed leads to Bagar, followed by a steeper climb to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). From MBC, the views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gangapurna, and Hiunchuli are spectacular. Continuing on, we enter Annapurna Sanctuary, where the valley opens up, providing panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding peaks. We stay the night at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m).
We retrace our steps, descending through the sanctuary back to Bamboo. Though we leave behind the views of ABC, the surrounding landscapes continue to amaze. We stay overnight in Bamboo.
We begin with an ascent to Kuldighar, followed by a descent to Chhomrong Khola. After climbing stone steps back to Chhomrong, we descend to Jhinu Danda. Here, we have the opportunity to relax in natural hot springs, just a short 20-25 minute walk from the village, providing much-needed relief for tired muscles.
Our journey comes to an end today. A representative will drop you off at the airport in a private vehicle for your departure.
