Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Kathmandu
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, a representative will be there to receive you and transfer you to your hotel. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner featuring authentic Nepalese cuisine, offering an introduction to the country’s food culture.
Day 2 Drive to Pokhara
After breakfast, we attend a pre-trip meeting to introduce you to your guide and discuss any queries. We then begin our early morning drive to Pokhara (7-8 hours), a scenic journey with views of rivers and green rolling hills. Upon arrival, you can explore Pokhara Lakeside, visit pubs, bars, and restaurants, or simply enjoy the sunset.
Day 3 Drive to Phedi and trek to Deurali
After breakfast, we take a 40-minute drive to Phedi and begin our trek. A 1.5-hour walk leads us to Dhampus, a beautiful Gurung settlement. We continue trekking for another 2 hours to reach Deurali (2,100m), where we spend the night.
Day 4 Trek to Low Camp
Today, we ascend sharply for a couple of hours, gradually leaving the forest behind and walking along a grassy trail, sometimes covered with snow. As we approach Low Camp, the views of Annapurna South and Mt. Machhapuchhre become more vivid. After 6-7 hours of trekking, enjoy a warm cup of tea at a local teahouse.
Day 5 Trek to High Camp
We start early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the mountains. The trail follows pasture ridges, often covered in snow during winter. As we trek above the tree line, the air gets thinner and the temperature drops. After 4-5 hours of trekking, we reach High Camp, where we spend the night.
Day 6 Hike to Mardi Base Camp - Back to Middle Camp
Today, we trek towards Mardi Himal Base Camp, following a narrow and steep trail through grassy terrain and rugged ridges. The views from the base camp include Mardi Himal (5,587m), Machhapuchhre (6,993m), Singhachuli (6,500m), Annapurna I, and Annapurna South (7,219m). After spending time admiring the breathtaking scenery, we return to High Camp and descend to Middle Camp, where we stay overnight.
Day 7 Trek to Sidding Village
Instead of retracing our steps, we take a different route down. The new path offers diverse landscapes and fresh perspectives, making the trek even more exciting. After 6-7 hours of trekking, we reach Siddhing Village, a peaceful and less crowded stopover for the night.
Day 8 Trek to Lumre and drive back to Pokhara
On our final trekking day, we descend towards Lumre in 2-3 hours, where our vehicle awaits. We then drive back to Pokhara, where you can enjoy the vibrant nightlife or relax by Phewa Lake.
Day 9 Drive back to Kathmandnu
We take a morning drive to Kathmandu (7-8 hours), reminiscing about the incredible journey. In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner, celebrating the success of the trek.

Had an amazing and memorable family trip to Nepal with Tripathi Travels!
We recently booked a family tour to Nepal through Tripathi Travels, covering Kathmand (Read More)u and Pokhara, and it was a wonderful experience. From the very start, the team did a great job customizing the itinerary to fit our pace, making sure the schedule wasn't too rushed since we were traveling as a family.
The choice of hotels was comfortable, and the transportation provided was clean and well-maintained, which made navigating the mountain roads smooth and stress-free. A huge shoutout to our driver/guide, who was incredibly professional, punctual, and safe on the roads. He knew the best local spots for sightseeing and always made sure we found great places to eat.
There was clear communication throughout the trip, and they checked in on us regularly to ensure everything was going according to plan. I would highly recommend Tripathi Travels to anyone planning a hassle-free and safe trip to 🇳🇵

The hotels were top-notch, exactly as promised, and the entire tour was truly premium. The vehicle (a Scorpio XL) was in excellent condition, and the driver was always punctual and professional, never missing a chance to show them all the beautiful spots. Every promise made was delivered, and my parents had a wonderful, unforgettable time. I highly recommend Explora Holidays Nepal for anyone looking for a flawless travel experience!
