Oh hello Kathmandu. Meet and traditional welcome assistance by Travaganza representative & get transferred to your hotel. Relax till the eveneing where you meet your fellow travellers.
After breakfast we start our guided tour in Kathmandu city to explore Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Swoyambhunath Stupa, the Pashupatinath Temple, and the Bouddhanath Stupa and much more. During the tour you will learn about the budhism and hindusim and the religious harmony between Nepalese people.
We will take a morning flight to Pokhara, with magnificent views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, the five peaks of Annapurna and many others. We will then drive for one hour to Nayapul where we start our trek. We follow the south bank of the river, passing through sub-tropical valley forests and crossing the Modi Khola on a high suspension bridge. We continue to ascend on this trail until we reach the village of Tikhedhunga where we will spend the night.
We leave the small village of Thikedhungga, crossing the small suspension bridge across the deep gorge to start your steep ascent up to Ulleri. Fortunately there are steps all the way which makes this tough climb slightly easier. After Ulleri, the trail continues winding its way through the rhododendron forests, passing beautiful waterfalls and we climb up, and down a little, enjoying the views of Machhapuchhre (Fish Tail) peeking out high above the lush green hillsides. Eventually we reach the village of Ghorepani and are rewarded with breath-taking views of Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna range.
We will set off in the dark this morning to ascend Poon Hill, renowned as one of the best view points in Nepal. The trail climbing to Poon Hill’s viewpoint is steep, but it is well rewarded with spectacular views of Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and the Annapurnas as the sun rises. We then begin our descent down to Tadapani through rhododendron forests with beautiful views of the high mountains and lush green valleys.
We will trek down further through the village of Ghandruk, which is famous for its high population of Ghurkhas who now own many of the lodges in this region. As we follow the trail down to Landruk we will be rewarded with views of the Annapurna range including Machhapuchchhre, Annapurna South and Gangapurna.
Today we follow the contours of the valley until we reach the village of Dhampus at an altitude of 1750m. The village is very famous for its breath-taking panoramic views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Fishtail, Hiuchuli and Lamjung Himal. An amazing place to spend your last night of the trek before waving goodbye to the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Today is a free day in Pokhara with lots of optional activities to do. For the adrenaline junkies you may go for a paragliding adventure over Pokhara valley or you may try the fastest zipline in South east Asia.
After breakfast we checkout from the hotel and move to the airport for the return flight to Kathmandu, rest of the day is free at your leisure.
Time to say goodbye to the land of temples and mountains. Check out from the hotel and transfer to the airport.

A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement applies to all nights of your trip and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
We reserve the right to change any part of the itinerary during the tour, as many of the tour activities are weather dependent and roadworks/ traffic/ group dynamics etc might affect travelling time.
A good level of fitness is required for this trip. The more preparation you have done for it the more you will get out of it. You will be walking at altitudes of up to around 2800m above sea level. Whilst this trip isn’t as demanding as longer and higher treks into the Annapurna or Everest regions, you will be walking with your day pack, with the possibility of variations in temperature.
We recommend that you undertake regular aerobic exercise in the months before you travel, particularly if you are not in the habit of regular exercise. Doing mountain walks or climbing long stair cases with a pack is good preparation (try putting a few bricks in your pack for real training!). Walking, jogging, swimming or riding a bike are all good ways to increase your aerobic fitness, which will allow you to enjoy the trek to its fullest.
