We will work on preparation and arrangements for the trip - arrange your documents, equipment, and shopping other stuff. We will also do the sightseeing at various places in Kathmandu.

We will take Tourist Bus drive or a good 25-minute flight by Nepal domestic air to Pokhara. We will go for brief sight-seeing. You will need to rest and preserve energy for the trip.

We will pack our stuff. We further share details on plans of our trip and those dos and don’ts during the trip. Then we will take a ride to New Bridge or Nayapul.  This is the starting point of our journey. We begin walking from here to Tikhedhunga.

Today is the first day, we do not walk and climb much for today. This is just for warming up our muscles and readying our body for the long journey ahead. Low altitude and if the sunny day we will feel little humid. There are well-managed steps constructed by the local people and Annapurna conservation project.

Today we have climbed tiring steps from Tikhedhunga to Ulleri. The walk in the morning is much easier than in the noon here.

Ghorepani is a Magar village, also called the Blue-roofed village as every house has blue tin roofs. There are clean hotels which have some sophisticated furniture giving you the modernized looks. Some guests book their stay here as you can see Mountains from your bedroom windows  - Dhaulagiri, Annapurna south and other peaks always appears in your eyes until you sleep.

Next day, we will wake very early in the morning and soon ascend one hour walk to Poonhill (3200m) to see the beautiful sunrise spectacular views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre ranges, before breakfast and proceeding to Tadapani.

We descend gradually through thick pine forests to Tadapani. The forest provides shelter to langoors - long tail monkey.  On our way, we can see the Annapurna South and Hiuchuli.

In the beginning, we have to walk inside the forest but then trail descends. Though due to narrow trails and passages through local village makes the hike little uncomfortable, the great scenery of Kimrong Khola eases the discomfort. We soon reach the Chhomrong village after a tiring continuous walk.

Chhomrong is traditional Gurung village with brilliant views of South Annapurna and Hiuchuli Himalayas. This will be the great place to spend the night with fantastic views before we ascend to Annapurna Base Camp.

We descend all the way to Modi river. Most part of this trail is covered with thick jungle and is usually muddy (rain makes it worse). We pass through some popular villages – Sinwaa, Bamboo, and Dovaan.

From here we can see several waterfalls which are hundreds of meters high. There are every chance that we see wild deer, monkeys and lot of beautiful butterflies. Once we reach Deurali above 3000 m, we may start feeling a bit different in the climate and also out of breathing. We soon reach the Himalaya tea house. We stay overnight. We can see shooting stars in the sky at night if we are lucky.

From the Himalaya, we ascend to Machhapuchhre base camp (MBC 3700m / 3 hrs) and eventually to ABC. On the walk up to MBC, there are fewer steps and we can have a great time looking at the forest, mountains and taking wonderful pictures. However, it is a bit unsafe area due to the risk of avalanches.

After some rest at MBC, we take a gentle ascend to the left towards ABC for 2 hrs. From this point on, we may feel hard to breathe due to high altitude. We should take our steps slowly and gently and should not rush.

Though we will hardly see any vegetation, the area provides a 360 degree of the mountains. The weather is very extreme with the high chilly wind, however, we can see the true greatness of mountains, mesmerizing natural beauty under the clear sky.

Today is the very important day to catch the memorable Sunrise views from the ABC. We have to wake up early in the morning. Soon, we will climb little uphill to see the golden Mountains glittering as the sun rises and the glaciers. We can take as many pictures as we like before we head back to the teahouse for the breakfast.

Then we take downhill walk to Bamboo or Sinwa (according to your liking). The walk downhill may be difficult for some. We will get to see and participate the local dance organized by Gurung women group, a community charity that collects donation earned through their cultural performances and utilize the amount of community development activities.

You will absolutely love the hot spring located 20 minutes downhill from Jhinu Danda. It will re-boost your tired and jaded body for the final day of trekking.

We will walk for some hours through the lush farms and an hour drive to Pokhara. We will shop for some souvenir and walk around the lakeside.

We take a private cab or Tourist Bus to drive back to Kathmandu for your final stay in the country.
