Transfer to hotel. 

Upon your arrival, our airport representative will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport and take you to your hotel. They will answer any questions you may have. We will schedule a pre-trip meeting at our offices with your trekking guide and will inform you of the time. No meals included.

After breakfast your sightseeing tour begins. You will have a private vehicle and a professional tour guide and will visit some of the following sights.  

Pashupatinath Temple

Pashupatinath Temple is one of the most significant Hindu temples of Lord Shiva. It is located on the banks of the Bagmati River and although you are not allowed to go inside the temple as it is strictly for Hindus only, you can clearly see the temple and the activities from the eastern bank of the Bagmati River. A truly spiritual experience.  

Boudhanath Stupa

Boudhananath is one of the holiest Buddhist sites in Kathmandu. It was built in the 5th century with the four pairs of eyes of Lord Buddha in four cardinal directions keeping an eternal watch over the people and their doings. You will find Buddhist pilgrims from Tibet going round the stupa spinning the prayer wheels. Remember to walk round clockwise! 

Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Visit the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, the Royal Residential Quarter of Bhupatindra Malla, the famous five-storied temple of Nyatapola in a Pagoda style Batsala temple, Bhairavnath temple, Duttatraya temple, Pujari Muth and the Palace of 55 windows. 

The rest of our time in Kathmandu is free for further exploration and some last-minute shopping in Thamel area for any trekking essentials. Overnight at a hotel. Breakfast included.

We move on towards the steep climb to Ulleri, a large Magar village at an altitude of 2,070 m. The trail ascends more gently from this point, through forests of oak and rhododendrons, towards Banthanti at 2,250 m. Then we trek towards Nangethanti at 2,460 m. After an hour’s walk we arrive at Ghorepani (2,840 m). Overnight at a guesthouse. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. 

Today, after a very early start, we have an hour’s hike up Poon Hill at an elevation of 3,210 m, a magnificent mountain range spectacle; the vantage point provides an unobstructed view of the sunrise over the high Himalaya. We spend about 1 hour to catch our breath and take some photos, returning to Ghorepani to eat breakfast. Then we head off to climb along ridges, and through pine and rhododendron forests, towards Deurali (2,960 m). After that, we descend to the Banthanti, then turn off to Tadapani. What a day! Overnight at a guesthouse. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. 

Duration: 5 hours

The day starts with a steep downhill through rhododendron forests. Leaving Tadapani, we descend through the forests and then the trail eases as we reach Gurjung which is the village of the Gurung people. From here it is an easy walk to Chomrong at an elevation of 2,140 m. Overnight at a guesthouse. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. 

Duration: 6 hours

Today the trail drops down to the Chomrong Khola and again we continue climbing to Khuldighar at 2,380 m where there used to be an ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area) check post. There is a clearing in the forest a little further on, from which, the route travels very steeply down a rock bank, then levels out, running through thickets of bamboo at the bottom of the gorge, keeping always on the west side of the river. We walk through bamboo and rhododendron forests to the Himalayan Hotel. Overnight at a guesthouse. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included. 

Duration: 7 hours

Today the trail climbs on past the Hinko Cave, Deurali and then Machapuchare Base Camp. Since it is totally surrounded by mountains, this area is known as the Annapurna Sanctuary. Two hours trek from Machapuchare Base Camp takes us to the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) at elevation of 4,130 m and our destination. Here, we will have unobstructed views of the mountain scenery, which is mind blowing. Overnight at a guesthouse. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

From Jhinu we walk at the right side of Modi Khola for 4.5 hrs to Birethanti which can be considered one of the best and the most relaxing walks of the entire trek. We reach Nayapul.
