Once you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, you'll be received by our staff and transported to your hotel. After some rest and refreshments, we'll provide you a brief about your upcoming trek to Annapurna Region.

You will be shown the trekking permits and essential gears if any before heading on your epic mountain adventure.

In the morning, begin a winding drive from Kathmandu to Besishahar, the gateway to Annapurna Circuit. For about eight hours you will see views of the Nepalese hilly terrain, including terraced paddies and countless valleys.

Except where the highway is under construction, the ride is comfortable. After a brief refreshment at Besishahar, you will take a shared jeep to Jagat.

Along the long winding way, you will enjoy the beauty of rivers, waterfalls, and villages. Spend the night at a teahouse in Jagat.

As you begin your first day of the trek, you will head towards Dharapani. Walking out of Jagat, you will reach Chamje and cross a suspension bridge over Marsyangdi River.

From there, the trail climbs steeply, offering stunning views of waterfalls, lush forests, and terraced fields. Still going uphill, you will come to the village of Tal before reaching the larger village of Dharapani for the night.

The trek today is around six hours — that includes going through rugged paths with frequent ascents and descents. The day is challenging yet rewarding, with beautiful landscapes.

Scenic views of local villages will keep you on track. Dharapani, today's stopover, is a village at the convergence of the Annapurna and Manaslu Circuits.

After breakfast you will begin the trek from Dharapani to Chame, a journey of about six hours. You will begin by descending through dense forest of pine and fir until you come to Bagarchhap.

From here you will do a steep climb to the hamlet of Danaque. As you trek along through several other villages you will have splendid views of Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal, and Manaslu.

The route will begin to get colder, reflecting the change in altitude, and the transformation of landscape to alpine region — the change in climatic zones being the strong characteristic of Nepal's wonderful diversity.

Arriving in Chame, you will end the day with a well-deserved dinner and rest, enjoying breathtaking vistas of the Annapurna range.

Today, you will set out on the challenging journey to Upper Pisang. The trail winds through pine and rhododendron forests, gradually ascending along the Marsyangdi River. By midday, you will reach an expansive apple orchard.

Lunch today will be at Dhikur Pokhari, with scenic views of Annapurna II and Pisang Peak. With the thinning air, your stamina will be tested.

Crossing suspension bridges and navigating rocky terrain, you will push on. As the day grows, fatigue will begin to set in; and in the evening the trail brings you to Upper Pisang.

You'll arrive here exhausted, but will be exhilarated with the thought of food and rest at this picturesque village located right beneath the Annapurna range.

Wake up with the rising sun over Upper Pisang, and embark on the challenging journey to Manang. You will trek through a scenic route with a steep incline, making your muscles burn with exertion.

By mid-day, you'll have had many breathtaking views of the Annapurna Range and Lamjung Himal. Lush forests will have transformed to barren plains dotted with wildflowers.

Crossing suspension bridges, you will pass through crystal-clear lakes with reflections of snow-capped peaks. In the evening, you will see stacked houses and an ancient monastery.

Exhausted, you will reach Manang at night — and crash in a lodge after a quick dinner.

A day is set aside today for the purpose of acclimatisation. Before ascending further in the coming days, you will explore nearby villages, hike to the serene Gangapurna Lake, and enjoy its crisp, cool air.

For hardy trekkers, a more challenging adventure to the Ice Lake is waiting with its pristine views. This acclimatisation day is essential to prevent altitude sickness, as adjusting to higher altitudes is key to a safe trek.

In the evening, you will have an early dinner and go to bed.

Leaving Manang behind, you will embark on a journey towards Yak Kharka, coming closer to Thorung-La. The trail begins by descending gently from Manang and entering the Jarsang Khola Valley.

You will make a leisurely stop in Gunsang, where you will have lunch with astounding views of the Himalayas. Treading along you will see yaks and horses grazing in the cold landscapes.

The path continues through suspension bridges and juniper stands. The climb to Yak Kharka is gradual on this section, where you'll settle for the night after enjoying dinner in the serene meadows.

Begin your trek from Manang early in the morning, headed towards Thorung Phedi. You will cross a historic Mani wall and pass through the village of Ledar. From there, the trail ascends steadily through a rocky and arid landscape.

As we climb you might encounter challenging weather and face increasing altitude, which will make the trek feel more strenuous and tiring.

After three hours, you can opt to stop at Thorung Phedi or continue for an additional hour to reach Thorung High Camp. Wherever you stay, you will have stunning views of Chulu West, Mt. Gangapurna, and Thorung Peak.

The terrain becomes harsher and less populated, so maintaining a steady pace and staying hydrated is crucial. Today you will rest well to prepare for crossing the Thorung-La pass tomorrow.

Today’s challenging trek is a remarkable journey from Thorung Phedi to Muktinath. You will start by climbing steeply to Thorung-La Pass, at 5,416 metres.

The path is challenging, with strong winds and thin air testing your endurance, but the spectacular views make it worthwhile. From the pass, you’ll see the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, along with the Nilgiri and other majestic peaks.

Spend some time at this pass and capture images and videos. The descent is long but an easy one. Now that the hardest part of the trek is over, you will be heading through the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world’s deepest gorge, to arrive at the sacred site of Muktinath Temple.

Muktinath is a revered destination for Hindus and Buddhists. It has a temple with 108 holy water sprouts, and a sacred continual flame at the Jwalamai temple.

This remote and tranquil site is believed to cleanse one of their past sins. After the trek, you will hop in a lodge in Muktinath and celebrate the day’s achievements.

After breakfast, you will begin a scenic drive from Muktinath to Pokhara. Leaving behind the sacred temple area of Muktinath, the journey follows the dramatic landscapes of the Kali Gandaki River Valley, known for its dry terrain, deep gorges, and breathtaking Himalayan scenery.

En route, you will pass through Kagbeni and Jomsom, important settlements in the Mustang region that showcase the unique culture and traditions of the area. The route also passes through beautiful villages such as Marpha, Tatopani, and Beni, offering views of waterfalls, rocky cliffs, and changing landscapes as you descend from the trans-Himalayan region toward the greener hills.

This scenic drive gives you one last opportunity to enjoy views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges while traveling along the world’s deepest gorge, carved by the Kali Gandaki River.

After several hours of driving, you will arrive in Pokhara in the evening, where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful lakeside atmosphere before an overnight stay at your hotel.

After breakfast, you have a full day to enjoy Pokhara at your own pace. Pokhara is famous for its natural beauty, serene lakes, and Himalayan views. You can start your day with a leisurely walk along Phewa Lake, enjoy boating on the calm waters, or relax at lakeside cafes.

You can visit Davis Falls, a dramatic waterfall that disappears into an underground tunnel, and the nearby Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, a sacred cave with a temple inside.

For panoramic views of the city and the surrounding mountains, you may climb or take a short hike to the World Peace Pagoda, perched on a hill overlooking the lake and Annapurna range.

The city also offers Museums like International Mountain Museum & cultural experiences such as visiting the Bindhyabasini Temple, or exploring local markets to shop for handicrafts, souvenirs, and traditional Nepali items.

You can enjoy lakeside restaurants, try local Nepali cuisine, or simply soak in the laid-back atmosphere of this beautiful city.

Additional Note:

• This day is for self-exploration only. There is no guided tour included by the company.
• Optional guided tour of Pokhara with a company guide is available for an additional cost, if you wish to explore the city with professional guidance.

After breakfast, you will begin the scenic drive back to Kathmandu on a deluxe tourist bus. The journey takes approximately 6-8 hours, offering beautiful views of hills, rivers, and rural landscapes along the way.

Alternatively, you can take a flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu for an additional cost. The flight takes about 25 minutes, giving you more time to explore Kathmandu upon arrival.

Upon reaching Kathmandu, you will have some free time to explore Thamel Bazaar or nearby local attractions at your own pace.

In the evening, we will gather for a farewell dinner to celebrate the successful completion of your Annapurna Circuit trek and share stories from your journey.

Additional Note:

• If you choose the flight, an additional cost applies.
• Afternoon in Kathmandu is for self-exploration only; there is no guided tour included by the company.
• An optional guided tour of Kathmandu city and nearby attractions is available for an additional cost, if you wish to have a professional guide.

After breakfast or depending upon your flight schedule, we will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport for your departure.

As your plane takes off from Kathmandu, your journey to Nepal comes to an end for this time, until you decide to visit again for another memorable and soul-searching trip in the Himalayas.
