Annapurna Circuit Trek

As per your Arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, we will be there to heartily welcome you in the land of the Himalayas and pick up you at the Hotel as prescribed. After Check-In and refreshments, we can discuss the trekking and tour details to be operated. Similarly, in the evening we together will go for Nepalese cultural dinner with typical cultural dances of diverse ethnic groups. First Overnight in Kathmandu Hotel. (Overnight at deluxe hotel on BB basis) 

We have to start early today since we have a long journey to make to get to the beginning place of our walk. We leave Kathmandu shortly after breakfast, and it takes us around 8 to 10 hours to drive via Besishahar to get to Syange or Jagat (depending on the situation). En route, we get to witness more of Nepal's rural areas, which include granaries, rivers, villages, farms, and stunning mountain vistas. However, not every part of our trip today's journey has excellent road conditions. The road leading up to Besishahar is coal-tarred, whilst the road leading away from Besishahar is dusty and bumpy, yet we can easily ignore it as we see the amazing views from the window.

Today's start is laid-back following breakfast. After passing over a huge bridge close to Tal, we approach the Manang district. After passing the town of Kodo, the road continues through fields of barley, rice, potatoes, and pine trees, bringing us to Dharapani, one of the larger settlements in the Manang valley. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

On the path to the west today, we cross multiple landslides as well as a few high wooded peaks. But we shouldn't forget to glance up since Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV (7,525m/24,688ft) will be on display for some of the most breathtaking vistas. Our lengthy, difficult trip is made easier by a few little hot springs. . (Stay the night at a tea house with full board).

We will reach the stunning curving rock face, rising 1500m from the river, along a steep, narrow road through a very deep forest. The beautiful Himalayan Peaks surround us as the trail spreads out. After traversing these breathtaking locales, we arrive at Pisang, which is located in the U-shaped valley of Manang sandwiched between two enormous snow-capped hills. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

Today, we have a choice between two paths. The possibilities are excellent if taken the higher path, which is the route through Upper Pisang through Geru (which is what we advise). We have the impression of being horizontally in front of the magnificent peaks.We will undoubtedly be drawn in by the expansive vistas of the mountain summits, including Annapurna, Pisang Peak, and many others. With regard to the current topography and vegetation, we see a disparity. The atmosphere is made even harder by the cold, dry weather. It would be remarkable to see Barge Monastery, the biggest in the entire Manang area. (At the tea house overnight on full bb)

The route leaves Manang village, crosses a creek, ascends to Tenki, a settlement above Manang, and then continues to climb out of the Marshyangdi Valley before turning northwest and ascending Jarsang Khola valley. The route ascends gradually as it follows this valley to the north, passing through a few fields and a juniper tree scrub.The route goes close to the little community of Ghunsa, a collection of mud-roofed structures immediately below the trailhead. The path now passes through meadows where yaks and horses graze. The route crosses an old Mani wall in a lovely meadow after crossing a little river on a wooden bridge, and after that it comes to Yak Kharka, another tiny settlement. The key to preventing altitude difficulties is a slow, steady climb. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

We move toward Throng Phedi, the foot of the pass. A lively tiny town called Thorong Phedi provides services to weary hikers and climbers. This area serves as a base camp for travelers. Some people try to climb to High Camp today in order to make the next day easier for them, but we do not advise trying to reach High Camp and spending the night there because it is not advisable to sleep at a higher altitude. Even though the next day would be challenging, we choose to stay in Thorong Phedi so that we may get a good night's sleep rather than risk sleeping at High Camp's greater altitude.

Today marks the culmination of our trip around the Annapurnas. Crossing the renowned high pass, Thorong La, will be a remarkable experience that will last a lifetime. In order to finish the job, an early start is necessary. Today's high-altitude track requires constant effort on our part, but the breathtaking views of the Himalayas are so alluring that our eyes tend to wander more beyond the horizon than toward the trail. With the sun sinking, we go to Muktinath. Muktinath (muktikshetra) is one of the most significant Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage sites. There is a Vishnu temple in the neighborhood, and a monastery lies close by. Muktinath is a prime example of Nepal's tolerance of all religions. (Stay the night at a tea house with a full board)

We take use of the fact that there are vehicles accessible today (bus/jeep) to go over a plateau above the Kali Gandaki, the deepest gorge in the world. Today, we must become used to adjusting oneself in a shared public transportation. The road is currently being coal-tarred, so it is bumpy and dusty, making for an unpleasant journey. This region's desolate scenery is reminiscent of the Tibetan Plateau. Today will be a boring day because we eventually have to replace our automobiles as well. When we get to Tatopani, we take a bath in one of the hot spring pools to soothe our sore muscles. (At the tea house overnight on full bb)

As we move along, we take in the way of life in Nepal's rural midlands. The settlements with terraced and sloping farmlands are Share and Sikha. We progressively ascend sharply to Ghorepani's elevation. passing via Chitre and the Palate. We strolled across meadows, birch, magnolia, and rhododendron in a non-habitat region. As we ascend, the peaks in front of us appear stunning. We choose to remain at Ghorepani since tomorrow morning we must climb to get to Poon Hill. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

We travel to Poon Hill (3,210 meters) before the crack of dawn to see the magnificent sunrise across the entire Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs and the adjacent rice terraces. Even Poon Hill's moniker is a photographer's dream come true. After breakfast, we continue the nighttime, uphill walk through rhododendron trees to Tadapani. We like continuing to scan the horizon since today's situations are all as captivating. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

We descend steeply through the dark and deep forest from Tadapani. This section of the trail passes through a dense stand of mature rhododendron trees. When viewed from the air or from a distance, these woods transform into gardens of stunningly gorgeous flowers, most of which are red, when the rhododendron trees are in bloom. Depending on the time of year, we may be delighted to see some cherry blossoms blooming on the slopes on the opposite side of the valley by afternoon.We approach the village of Ghandruk, a hillside community with stone homes mostly inhabited by the Gurung people, after continuing our climb for a short while further. In addition to taking in the breathtakingly close-up towering vistas of Fishtail, Annapurna South, and the Hiuchuli mountains, we learn more about the Gurung people's straightforward yet rich cultural traditions at the Gurung Museum in Ghandruk. (Stay the night at a tea house with full board)

Today, we travel to Pokhara after trekking from Ghandruk to Naya Pul. To get to Birethanti, the hike is downhill. We ascend a stone-paved stairway that curves in and out of the settlement before leading to terraced farmland. Up till the Modi Khola river valley, it descends virtually continuously. Some of us would feel like we had run a downhill marathon by the time we got to Birethanti. Our race is still far from done, though. We walk for 30 minutes from Birethanti to Naya Pul. At Nayapul, the trek on foot comes to an end. From Nayapul, we next go by car to Pokhara. (BB base, overnight stay at a luxury hotel)

Your journey will begin at 7:30 am from Pokhara with a ticket reserved for you in the tourist coach at a riverfront seat. You will arrive in Kathmandu (around Thamel) after 6–7 hours and be transferred to your accommodation. The day is free for you to relax, finish up any last-minute shopping, or see any attractions you might have missed on your first day in Kathmandu. (BB base, overnight stay at a luxury hotel)

There is nothing left to do but exchange emails with the travel agency and organize the images as today is the last day of the Annapurna base camp trip. You are bidding goodbye to the mountains as the vacation to Nepal comes to an end today. You can go shopping or go sightseeing if you have more time. Gurkha Treks and Tours will send a representative to pick you up at the airport around three hours prior to the flight's planned departure time.
