Upon arrival at international airport, our waiting support team will meet and greet you at the airport assist and transfer to the Hotel.

Our trekking guide will pick you up at the hotel in the morning with private transportation to leave for Besi Shahar (185km). This will take us about 6 hours on along a nice scenic route. Along the journey you will witness stunning scenery of snow capped mountains, green hills, rivers, and villages. We take next bus for Khudi and stay overnight at a guesthouse.

After breakfast, the trail sets out along the banks of the Khudi River, past waterfalls and villages. We continue our journey through the forests and rice terraces of various Gurung villages. This makes for a 4-5 hour climb. The view from the top is worth it! Annapurna and Manaslu at sunset and sunrise are absolutely spectacular. Lodging with families and an evening of cultural programs are some of the highlights of this trip.

Today is a rest day so we can have a late breakfast and hike around picturesque Ghale Gaun. This area is inhabited mainly by the Gurung ethnic group, most of whom are the subcaste of Ghale, hence the village’s name. Most of the houses are constructed in the same design with window engrained with unique carvings. The time passes so fast when talking with kind hearted, friendly people about their day to day lives and culture. The mountains vista is an incredible one indeed. You may visit Buddhist monastery in this village. At the evening you’ll have a great chance to see a Nepalese cultural program.

From here, the sunrise affords further stunning views. After having a locall breakfast we hit the trail. The trail leads us through a rhododendron forest with the chirping melody of birds, the hissing of waterfalls, and hillside farm terraces towards the traditional village Ghanpokhara. We may visit large traditional Gurung village Bhujung with rewarding mountains scenery and natural beauty. Stay overnights at a local house and enjoy the traditional Nepalese dish of “Dal Bhat”.

After breakfast the trail crosses the Midim River via suspension bridge. You then begin to climb to Khumre Danda (2000m) for three hours before descending to Pasgaun. During the trip we will visit the Buddhist monastery. After dinner we learn traditional Nepali songs and practice dances with a cultural show in the evening.

Today is another beautiful day. Our trip begins with a steep descent to the Rudi Stream across the suspension bridge. Afterwards we then follow for about half an hour to its ridge. We again are rewarded with spectaculars views of the Annapurna and Manaslu ranges. Stay overnights at a local house with a host family.

The trail leads us through the village with breathtaking mountain vistas down a steep 3-hour descent to the Mandi River where we find the roadway at Thumsikot. We then drive by local bus 2/3 hours to Pokhara. The rest of the day can be spent relaxing in the Pokhara Hotel. Alternatively you can wander around the lakeside with its fascinating mountains panoramas and charming nature.
