Day to Day
Itinerary
Today is the first exciting day of the trek! After an early breakfast, you'll be greeted and picked up from your hotel and drive to Nayapul by a taxi. Nayapul is a small city located at the north-west of Pokhara where the trek begins towards Tikhedunga/Ulleri. After one hour drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, we then follow the trail ascending through forests of rhododendron, magnolia, and garlands, until you reach the villages of Hile and Tikhedunga.
Today is the second day of the trek. After having a great breakfast in Tikhedunga, we will continue on a trek towards the most beautiful place of Ghorepani via several beautiful villages of Ulleri and Bhanthatihi. The hike today from Tikhedunga to Ghorepani is mostly climbing on stone stairs through rhododendron forests teeming with exotic birds but it is worth trek with great sceneries.
Today is the third day of the trek — an exciting day to see the sunrise over the Himalayas. Early morning excursion to Poon Hill (3,210 m) about 40 minutes hike from your lodge at Ghorepani. Views from Poon Hill are truly spectacular — you'll see fantastic panoramic mountain views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchare, Nilgiri, and many other mountain ranges. Having breakfast, we continue for a couple of hours hike towards Tadapani through dense forest Deurali.
Today is like a rest day. We just walk 2 hours until Ghandruk. Ghandruk is a popular tourist place for trekkers in the Annapurna area of Nepal, with easy trails, Gurung culture, Monastery, and best views of the Annapurna Mountains including a beautiful massif view of Machhapuchhare, called "Fishtail" from Ghandruk.
It's your last day on the trek! Take your time and enjoy those views when you wake up. Don't rush to set off as the walking is easy and buses to Pokhara plentiful. It takes about 4 hours to Nayapul, from where we drive back to Pokhara.

I was quite nervous for the trek but Raj helped me feel comfortable immediately! He was encouraging during the tougher parts and always made sure that I was doing well. We shared many laughs and Raj taught me so much during our 5 days together. He's an expert on this trek, the surrounding nature, and the culture of the villages we passed through. This experience was one I will never forget and I am definitely going to do another trek with Raj next time I am in Nepal!

Raj had to contend with out-of-shape Seniors 66 yrs old who have a bunch of medical handicaps. Raj was patient with my super slow pace and always encouraging both of us. He is a true Professional and Gentleman. Raj knew every inch of the Annapurna trail like the back of his hand. Raj solved issues in a matter of minutes that would have taken us hours or days to resolve on our own. Simply, Raj saved our trek. Raj assessed our physical condition and modified the speed of our trek so that we were successful. When Crystal became ill, Raj like a magician found her some medicine that worked right away. Raj even cooked some baked potatoes for her over a wood fire. He looked after us, like we were family. For us the Poon Hill trek was very physically challenging and Raj got us through it. Raj Thank you 10,000 times!
Annapurna Circuit is one of the best trekking trails in the world in terms of its outstanding scenery. This trail lies in the northwestern Himalayas of Nepal. Annapurna Circuit Trek is also called Annapurna Round trekking because it circles the Annapurna massif. The trek offers an amazing panorama of snowy Mt. Manaslu (8187 m), Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Gangapurna, Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Dhaulagiri, and many other Himalayan peaks. The highest point of the Annapurna Circuit is the Thorong La (5416m), considered the longest mountain pass in the world.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a popular moderate trekking trail in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp is one of the best options for trekking because it offers a fascinating view of mountains arranged in a way that forms a loop. Also known as Annapurna Sanctuary trekking, it is the most celebrated trekking holiday package in Nepal. The trail includes Ghorepani, Poon Hill, and Ghandruk, offering diverse terrains, culture, and wildlife.
Mohare Trek is a community-based eco-trek in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri region. This off-the-beaten-path trek offers stunning mountain views, authentic village experiences, and the chance to stay in Rajkumar's home village of Tikot. Perfect for those seeking a quieter, more culturally immersive trekking experience.
The Annapurna I Base Camp Trek, also known as the North Annapurna Base Camp or Narchyang Trail, is a short but adventurous route to the north face of Annapurna I (8,091 m), the first 8,000-metre peak ever climbed. Starting from Narchyang near Tatopani in Myagdi district, the trail follows the Myagdi River through rhododendron forests, waterfalls and the remote Panchakunda (five sacred lakes) before reaching the base camp at 4,190 m. Unlike the crowded Annapurna Sanctuary route, this is a quiet camping trek with raw alpine scenery and very few other trekkers.
