Welcome to Kathmandu (1320m). Our representative will be at the airport. Upon arrival you will be heartily welcomed by him putting garland on your neck which means welcome to Nepal. Then you will be driven to the hotel by car. Rest and enjoy the day around the town.

Hotel in Kathmandu- B

Drive Kathmandu to Pokhara (820m) by Tourist Bus about 7 hours. Pokhara is located about 200 km west from Kathmandu and the tourist coach takes about 7 hours to get there. The drive mostly fallows along Trishuli River side enjoying the view of landscapes. At the Evening you may take short sightseeing around lakeside Pokhara.

Hotel in Pokhara- B

Early morning after breakfast we drive to Matque (3 hours) by Jeep and start the trek. From Matque we start our trek down to the modi khola one of the longest suspensionbridge to Jhino and from Jhino steeply up to beautiful village Chhomromg from where you can see the Annapurna south and Himachuli very nearby.

Overnight in Chhomrong - B, L, D

The trail out of Chhomrong descends via 2500 stone steps and crosses the ChhomrongKhola on a swaying suspension bridge. It is an uphill climb to Sinuwa. Next, we pass through a beautiful forest to Kuldihar followed by an easy downhill walk to Bamboo.

Overnight in Bamboo - B, L, D

We pass through the bamboo forest which is damp and cold then ascend steadily with fewer steep sections. It is only after reaching the Himalaya Hotel that the forest opens up and we are out in the sun again with astounding views of the glacial river below. It is a steep climb up through a much drier forest before reaching Hinku Cave. From here we can see the trail drop closer to the river before climbing again to Deurali, the most scenic stretch of the day. The vegetation is sparser, allowing magical views of the valley, the river below, and the sheer rock facing cliffs above with bands of wispy waterfalls.

Overnight in Deurali - B, L, D

Climb gently through a river bed then over a steep trail over to the mountain side. The hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is somewhat strenuous. From Machhapuchhre base camp we get excellent views of the majestic Machhapuchhre along with Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli and Gangapurna which is certainly a rewarding experience. The vegetation disappears on our way to ABC and the path widens as we enter the Annapurna sanctuary. From here, we get sensational views of the near-vertical south face of Annapurna towering above us. The sanctuary boasts of a dynamic view without anything impeding the 360-degree panorama. From the base camp we again get to savor mesmerizing views of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna south, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli and other peaks.

Tea House in Annapurna Base Camp - B, L, D

From the Annapurna base camp, we retrace our steps to Bamboo. Today’s trek is downhill so it shouldn’t be very difficult. Besides, we will always have the company of the extraordinary landscape to cheer us up.

Tea House in Lower Sinuwa - B, L, D

On our way to Matque from Lower Sinuwa we get to enjoy the amazing hill landscape of western Nepal. We have lunch on the way. Our trek will end at Siwai where we board our vehicle to Pokhara.

Hotel in Pokhara - B, L
