Kathmandu has a special atmosphere during the early morning hours when the city is slowly coming to life yet not too chaotic. It's a great time to walk and explore the streets or have a chai overlooking one of the local courtyards or durbar squares. There are a number of ways you can spend the day given the many incredible sights around the Kathmandu Valley. Later in the evening, head out for dinner at one of the city's great eateries, or your specialist can arrange a home-cooked dinner with a local family.

On this day, we head out of Pokhara in a private vehicle. After 2 to 4 hours drive, we reach Birethanti (1,039 m/3,409 ft). And then, after a couple of hours’ hike, we reach Hile (1,495 m/4,905 ft), a large village with many shops and teahouses. We will rest for a while and then start our trek to Ulleri, a large Magar village. Today’s walk provides a short and relatively easy day. The journey familiarizes climbers with the experience of trekking in Nepal.
Days: 4 : Trek to Ghorepani (2,840 m/9,286 ft) from Ulleri – 5 to 6 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
We move on towards our destination Ghorepani, a popular scenic village at an altitude of 2,840 m/9,318 ft. The trail ascends more gently from Ulleri, through fine forests of oak and rhododendrons, towards Banthanti (2,250 m/7,382 ft). Then we trek towards Nangethanti (2,460 m/8,071 ft). After an hour walk, we arrive at Ghorepani.
Days: 5 : Early morning hike up to Poon Hill (3,210 m/10,531 ft) & back and then, Trek to Tadapani (2,610 m/8,563 ft) – 6 to 7 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
We spend about 1 to 2 hours on Poon hill and retrace our path back to Ghorepani. Here we take a hot breakfast. Then we make a climb along ridges, and through pine and rhododendron forests, towards Deurali (2,960 m/9,711 ft). After that, we descend to the Banthanti, then turn off to Tadapani.
Days: 6 : Trek to Sinuwa (2,360 m/7,740 ft) from Tadapani – 6 to 7 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
Our day begins with a scenic descent from Tadapani through rhododendron forests. The trail winds its way down to the village of Chuile, offering glimpses of the valley below. As we emerge from the forested area, we pass a suspension bridge and a short uphill hike leading us to the charming Ghurjung village. Take a moment to explore the village, perhaps enjoying a cup of local tea and interacting with the friendly locals. Leaving Ghurjung behind, the path transforms into a pleasant walk leading to Chhomrong (2,140 m/7,021 ft), allowing time to relax and enjoy the mountain scenery. From Chhomrong, the trail descends steeply down stone steps to the Chhomrong Khola River. After crossing the river, a challenging uphill climb through dense forests brings us to Sinuwa (2,340 m/7,677 ft).
Days: 7 : Trek to Deurali (3,230 m/10,597 ft) from Sinuwa – 6 to 7 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
Today’s trail climbs up to Upper Sinuwa, located a bit further uphill. The route then takes a steep descent down a rock bank where a stop named Bamboo awaits amidst a scenic haven – thickets of bamboo nestled at the bottom of a gorge. After the rest stop, we’ll remain on the west side of the river, following a path that winds its way through a beautiful waterfall. The vibrant flora and fresh mountain air create an invigorating atmosphere as we approach Himalaya. The trail then steadily climbs past Hinko Cave, a natural wonder nestled in the mountainside. We’ll continue onwards, reaching our destination for the night, Deurali.
Days: 8 : Trek to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m/13,550 ft) from Deurali – 5 to 6 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
Today’s trek takes us to the famous Annapurna sanctuary. Our path leads us to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m/12,139ft). While climbing the majestic Machhapuchhre, also known as the “Fishtail” for its distinctive peak shape, is currently forbidden, the base camp offers a unique perspective of this iconic mountain. Here, the soaring peaks encircle us, creating the aptly named Annapurna Sanctuary – a breathtaking amphitheater of nature. The final two hours of our trek will be rewarded with the ultimate destination – Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m/13,550ft). As we arrive, prepare to be awestruck by the Annapurna base camp view. Towering mountains pierce the sky, their snow-capped peaks glistening under the sun.
Days: 9 : Trek to Bamboo (2,345 m/7,694 ft) from Annapurna Base Camp – 6 to 7 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
We follow the same trail down today. The trail drops by 1,700 m/5,577 ft to the bank of Modi Khola to Bamboo (2,345 m/7,694 ft). The panoramas of the Annapurna range, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Singu Chuli, Tharpu Chuli, and other peaks are worthwhile. There are a few teahouses/lodges available to stay at Bamboo.
Days: 10 : Trek to Jhinu (1,780 m/5,839 ft) from Bamboo – 4 to 5 hours. Overnight at a guesthouse.  
We follow the same trail until Chomrong. Once we have passed Khuldighar, there is an experimental sheep farm. The trail continues through rhododendron and bamboo fields. From Chomrong, the trail descends very steeply to the Jhinu. Here we can bath in natural hot springs.
Days: 11 : Trek to Syauli Bazaar (1,170 m/3,839 ft) from Jhinu – 2 to 3 hours & Drive back to Pokhara – 2 to 4 hours. Overnight at the hotel in Lakeside.  
From Jhinu, we walk on the right side of the Modi Khola (River) for 3 to 4 hours until Syauli Bazaar, the end point of our trek. Today’s walk can be considered one of the best and most relaxing walks of the entire trek. We will rest for a while in Syauli Bazaar. Soon enough we take a drive to Pokhara. The road until Nayapul is unpaved and uneven as it was recently made. We will have a bumpy and challenging drive. This section lasts for 2 to 4 hours of the total drive. From Nayapul onwards, the road is paved in concrete and is more maintained than in the previous section. In 1 to 2 hours from Nayapul, we will reach Pokhara.
Days: 12 : Drive Back to Kathmandu (1,400 m/4,593 ft) from Pokhara in a Tourist Bus – 7 to 9 hours. Overnight at a hotel.  
Please be advised that extensive road construction between Kathmandu and Pokhara has resulted in increased traffic congestion and air pollution. As a result, the journey, typically taking around 6-7 hours, may now require approximately 8-9 hours. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Alternatively, there is the option to take a 30 min flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara and vice versa. The cost for a one-way flight is USD 130 per person.
Days: 13 :Transfer to the International Airport for your final departure
