Tour Overview
For those who may feel some of the other regions are too strenuous a trek, the Annapurnas have everything from mountains to forests and culture. Whether you are traveling with children, are a bit on the older side yourself, are an experienced trekker, or are a newbie, the Annapurna region has something for you. Ranging from a three —or four-day trek to around two weeks, you can choose which trek suits you best.
Kathmandu to Pokhara - 820m (Drive)
We will pickup you from your hotel and take you to the bus departure stop. Tourist bus scenic drive to Pokhara (Approx 8 hours). Overnight in Pokhara at a hotel
Drive From Pokhara to Tikhedhunga (1,570m). Trek to Ulleri (1,540m / 5,050ft)
we take a short drive through the beautiful landscapes and head to Tikhedhunga. The road is quite gentle and passes through Nayapul and then Birethanti. While on the road, you will see stunning terraced farms along the Bhurungdi Khola.
After Birethanti, it is an offroad drive that takes us to Tikhedunga. The hike starts at Tikhedhunga passes through Sudame and Hile villages, and ends at Ulleri (2073 meters).
Trek from Ulleri (1,540m / 5,050ft) to Ghorepani (2,860m / 9,385ft)
Today's trek will be exciting as the trail slowly ascends. From the path, you can savor the views of Annapurna, Machhapuchre, and Hiunchuli snow peaks. As we walk through the rhododendron forest, we can see several wild animals, refreshing springs, and rivers. The path then leads us to Ghorepani, which is a spectacular settlement that lies on a ridgeline.
The views of the Himalayas from this village are breathtaking allowing heavenly sights of Dhaulagiri I, II, III, IV, V, Tukuche, Dhampus, Nilgiri, Annapurna South, Barah Sikhar, Machhapuchhre (commonly known as Fishtail).
Early morning hike to Poon Hill viewpoint (3,210m / 10,525ft) , then trek to Tadapani (2,630m) / Chuile (2,309m)
Early in the morning, before sunrise, we ascend Poon Hill just in time to view the sunrise on the Himalayas. From Poon Hill, you can see dawn breaking at more than 32 Annapurna ranges along with Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Machhapuchre mountains. Poon Hill is a famous spot for photography, so we will make the most of our visit to Poon Hill by clicking pictures to our hearts' content.
After spending time on Poon Hill, we descend to our lodge, have our breakfast, and start the trek to Tadapni (2,630m / 8,630ft). But to reach Tadapani, we will be passing through Deurali (2960m) and Bandthanti. If we arrive early at Tadapani, we will trek a little further to Chuile Village.
Trek from Tadapani (2,630m) / Chuile (2,309m) to Chomrong (2,165m)/ Sinuwa (2,340m)
Today's trek will slightly differ based on where we stayed last night. If at Tadapani, we will have our breakfast, and continue our journey to Chomrong (2,165m / 7,105ft), passing Chuile on the way. At first, we pass the beautiful Ghandruk Village and then take a steep descent to the Kimron River before reaching Chomrong. From the way, you will see mind-blowing views of Annapurna South and Fishtail.
Chomrong village lies on the lap of the mighty Annapurna massif and is a popular overnight spot for those ascending to Annapurna Base Camp. However, if we stayed at Chuile last night, we stop at Sinuwa to spend the night.
Trek from Chomrong (2,165m)/ Sinuwa (2,340m) to Himalaya (2,890m)/Deurali (3,174m)
Today's trek is going to be a bit longer. It also differs a bit based on your previous night's stay. If you stayed at Chomorong, you will follow the trail down to Chomrong Khola on steep stones, but then the path ascends through the bamboo, oak, and rhododendron forests to reach Sinuwa. However, if you spent the night at Sinuwa, the trek starts from Sinuwa. You will get to enjoy the views of Machhapuchre and Annapurna snowcaps from the route. The way passes Khuldigar village, descends to Bamboo Lodge settlements, and ascends to Himalaya (2,890 m / 9,425ft). If you start the trek from Sinuwa, you will stay at Deurali for the night.
Trek from Himalaya (2,890m) / Deurali (3,174m) to ABC (4,130m / 13,550ft) via Machhapuchhare Base Camp
If we spent the last night in Himalaya, we will follow a route through the narrow gorge along the Modi Khola Glacier Valley, past more forests. We will also be passing a large overhanging rock known as Hinku Cave and the lodges of Deurali before making it to the entryway of the Annapurna Sanctuary, which ultimately takes us to ABC. However, if we slept at Deurali, the trek starts from Deurali itself.
Throughout the day, we will be walking close to the Annapurna glaciers. On our way, Machhapuchhre Base Camp offers us a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. However, we continue our journey northwest to eventually reach ABC.
From ABC, we get a 360-degree view of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South to Annapurna I (8,097m/26,566ft), and Khangsar Kang, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhare.
Trek from ABC (4,130m / 13,550ft) to Bamboo (2,350m / 7,700ft)
After leaving our footprints on ABC, it is time to descend down. We will take a path that takes us out of the Annapurna Sanctuary and out of the Modi River Valley. Eventually, we will make it to our serene stopover point called Bamboo (2,350m / 7,700 ft) - our destination for the day.
Trek from Bamboo (2,350m / 7,700ft) to Jhinu Danda (1,780m / 6,393ft) and nearby natural hot springs
After a long journey from ABC to Bamboo last day, we continue our way towards Jhinu Danda. First, we take a path that takes us down to Kimrong Khola and then ascends through the serene rhododendron, bamboo, and oak forests, eventually reaching Jhinu Danda.
Jhinu Danda consistently attracts thousands of visitors each year as an exotic place famous for its soothing natural hot springs, where we will also let our tired muscles relax. From the hot springs, you can enjoy the views of rhododendron forest and lush vegetation.
Trek from Jhinu Danda (1,780m / 6,393ft) to Siwa/Ghandruk Phedi (1,150m / 3,770ft) and drive to Pokhara (820m) via Nayapul
We have reached our final day on the trekking trails. After leaving Jhinu Danda, we follow the plain dust road along the right of Modi Khola. This part of the trek forms the most relaxing walk of the entire trip. After trekking for about three hours, we will reach Siwa/Ghandruk Phedi, where we will bid goodbye to the trails and drive through the picturesque countryside to Pokhara. Tour end.
