Day 1 Arrive at Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel.

Greetings to Nepal. A representative will meet you at the international airport and take you to the hotel.

Shortly after, we had a quick meeting, finalized the payment, and talked about the remaining plans.

Stay at the hotel overnight. Please inform us of the types of hotels you partially prefer.

Day 2 Tourist Bus drive to Pokhara

Tourist bus travels along the Prithvi Highway, showcasing the beautiful terraced hillside settlements that line the river valley.

The road frequently twists and turns, but a few stops at the restaurants provide ample opportunity to rejuvenate and unwind. It requires approximately 5 hours to arrive in Pokhara, transfer to the hotel, and complete the check-in process.

On the other hand, you have the option of taking a thirty-minute flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 3 Drive to Nayapul, Hike to Tikhedhunga

Indulge in a tasty breakfast by the lakeside in Pokhara, then embark on a 1.5-hour drive to Nayapul, taking in the diverse landscapes and views of the Himalayas along the way.

The hillside areas near Pokhara are also well-liked by tourists. Start the hike at Nayapul and present the trekking papers at the Birethanti checkpoint of the Annapurna Conservation Area.

Following the trail on the left side smoothly takes us to Tikhedhunga through Hile. Rest in Tikhedhunga or extend the trek to Ulleri and spend the night at the lodge as another alternative.

Day 4 Trek to Ghorepani

Morning is good in the rural area. After eating breakfast, we gathered our belongings and started the journey. Starting from Tikhedhunga, we pass over a metal bridge and then proceed to hike uphill for nearly one hour, feeling refreshed.

Ulleri is a village situated on this terraced hillside, boasting lovely lodges. Moving forward, we arrive at Banthanti. When hunger strikes, it’s the perfect time to enjoy lunch with a stunning view of Mt.

Annapurna and Machapuchare. The path continues uphill gradually as it winds through the rhododendron forest. During the fall season, the forest becomes incredibly enchanting.

The waterfalls, meadows, and remote pathways guide wanderers who enjoy exploring. Stay overnight at the Ghorepani Hotel.

Day 5 Trek to Tadapani

Experiencing the initial touch of the sun’s light on the massive peaks of Mount Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri range can be incredibly awe-inspiring for you.

We start our hike to Poon Hill early in the morning (approximately 4.30 am), climbing steep steps for around 40 minutes.

From the prime location, we enjoy the stunning view of the Himalayan landscape featuring Mount Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Fishtail, Manaslu, Himchuli, and the neighboring peaks in a wide-angle photograph.

One of the most memorable highlights of the Annapurna base camp trek is the viewpoint at Poon Hill. After that, we ascended to Ghorepani, ate breakfast, and began the journey.

The path has both uphill and downhill sections; we hike to Deurali first and then continue on to Banthanti for a meal. After crossing the flat land, we arrived at our planned overnight stop in Tadapani after taking a few steps, staying at the lodge.

Day 6 Trek to Chhomrong

In the morning, the stunning view of Annapurna can also be observed from Tadapani. Therefore, pleasant scenery accompanies us during breakfast.

We pack our belongings and descend through the rhododendron forest to reach Kimrong. We trace the path to Chhomrong, a well-known village inhabited by the traditional Gurung people, after crossing the stream.

The excellent position and wonderful hospitality in Chhomrong make it hard for us to leave and appreciate the stunning scenery of the Annapurna range and fishtail while staying at the lodge.

Day 7 Trek to Himalaya hotel

Setting out from Chhomrong after breakfast, the breathtaking landscape of the rugged countryside takes us on an exhilarating journey.

We make our way to ChhomrongKhola on foot, cross it, and climb up to the Modi River valley through Sinuwa and Bamboo, where we will have our lunch break.

Currently, the path runs alongside the River, often playing hide and seek among the rhododendron woods and a thick bamboo and oak forest.

As we pass by a canyon along the trail, we eagerly make our way towards our destination for the day, where we are greeted with hot meals and cozy dining at Himalaya, followed by an overnight stay at the lodge.

Day 8 Trek to Annapurna Base Camp

We start today’s trek from the Himalayas to our final destination, following the popular Himalayan route featured in guidebooks globally.

The high mountains rise above us, and the refreshing wind envelops us with a cool sensation. We journey through the narrow canyon and forests to reach Deurali, passing by the Hinku Cave along the way.

We trek from Machhapuchhre Base Camp to ABC (Annapurna Sanctuary) at an elevation of 3712m / 12178 feet.

We eat lunch here and then move on to ABC. The feeling of adventure overwhelms us as we are surrounded by massive rocky boulders.

As we move forward, we pause to breathe and rest, making the journey more flexible. The sanctuary greets us with cabins and cozy dining rooms.

Additionally, we are welcomed by stunning views of Fishtail, Annapurna Massifs, and numerous towering peaks. Stay the night at a lodge or tea house in Annapurna Base Camp.

Day 9 Trek to Bamboo

The only thing we take from the Annapurna base camp is the memory of our footsteps after witnessing the stunning sunrise over the snowy peaks.

Every day, hundreds of hikers capture photos with the breathtaking Himalayas as their backdrop.

Today, after breakfast, we are leaving the Annapurna Base Camp also known as Annapurna Sanctuary.

The descent is simple as you reach lower altitudes, however, the shaky legs will make you stop and rest at various points.

This entails dining at the Deurali. Nevertheless, we will arrive at Bamboo to conclude our day and stay overnight at the lodge.

Day 10 Trek to Jhinu (Hot Spring)

The descent carries on following a morning meal at Bamboo. Certain parts are sharply direct, while others are more patient.

As we continue on the same trail towards Chhomrung from ABC, we will stop for lunch there.

Next, we make our way down to JhinuDanda (Hill), a perfect spot for spending the night.

We immediately head towards the natural hot spring, which provides relief for your weary muscles and creates a tranquil and cozy atmosphere.

Hikers frequently spend a few hours soaking in water that is 32 degrees Celsius. It’s crucial to pack sandals, towels, shampoo, and undergarments in order to be able to freshen up.

Next, we return to Jhinu Danda and spend the night at the hotel.

Day 11 Trek to Nayapul and drive to Pokhara.

Today marks the end of our journey hiking to Annapurna Base Camp through Poon Hill. Following breakfast, descend from Jhinu Danda (Hill), making your way across one of the longest suspension bridges in the Annapurna region.

Stroll beside the Modi Khola River on the right side at a leisurely pace as we approach the endpoint of Ghandruk, Siwa.

We press on towards Nayapul, discovering the lush forests and hilly terrain along the way. We depart from the ACAP checkpoint and make our way to Pokhara, which takes 1.5 hours by car. Staying at the hotel for the night.

Your journey concludes in Pokhara; the Team will travel to Kathmandu. Inform us if you have plans to travel elsewhere or to Kathmandu.
