Itinerary

If we drive wheather by private vehicle or tourist buses then should take very early in the morning. It takes about 9 hours of rough tough driving along the Prithvi highway and Trisuli River bank.  If we fly by aeroplane then whenever is possible, the flight takes about 35 minutes from kathmandu. Prithvi High way is connected as the main highway to the western part of Nepal and the Terai region. So it is overcrowded and takes a longer time. Terrace field/Landscape view, local culture and tradition, mountains view, harvesting crops, etc are perfect glimpses over the day drive. At the moment the road widening project is taking place so that it will be bumpy and slow drive along the overland drive to Pokhara.

Breakfast will be at 7:00 AM and then drive to Kande by private car for about 1.5 hours. Your trek will start from Kande and upward to the Australian camp. Mt. Fishtail and the whole Annapurna Range Mountains including the Mt. Manaslu view will make the trek interesting. Australian camp via Pothana to Bichok Deurali is quite comfortable walking through the forest. Bichok Deurali (2200mtr) is a small settlement with some lodges; it offers a very nice view of Mt. Fishtail and Mt. Dhaulagiri.

Bhichok Deurali

We start our trekking after breakfast. The path goes through the deep Himalayan forest such as rhododendron, fir tree, Hemlock, bamboo, etc. It is a very comfortable walk with minimal up and down to Forest camp. Forest camp is a big area with several tourist lodges, we make lunch break here. The path leads mostly upward from Forest camp to Low camp through the deep rhododendron forest.  

The day would be so interesting because of the mountain views. You walk upward along the ridge with a full panoramic view. Mt. Annapurna South and Hiuchuli seem like a mirror in front of us with other several mountains. We will make a break at Badaldanda, which is known as a 360-degree mountain views vantage point. 

Lowcamp

 Today we hike very early in the morning with flash light up to the view point for sunrise then one more hour to Mardi Himal base camp (4500mtr).Mardi Himal basecamp is very popular for sheep, goats, Cows, and yak pastureland. Small huts are everywhere up there in the pasturefields. They offer simply the best tea, coffee, and Nepalese-style breakfast as well. It takes about 4 hours for up and down hiking, back to the hotel at Highcamp for lunch then return to Badal Danda 3400mtr.1.5 hours. Badal Danda is one of the best place for the best views.

Mardi Base Camp

The morning views from Badaldanda are probably the most romantic natural scenery in my lifetime. Today we have longer descending over stone staircases to a famous Landruk Gurung village. 

We follow the rightwards along the Modi River bank to Nayapul. Today you find a river gorge way with waterfalls and an amusing jungle walk. We arrive at Jhinuwadanda by lunch time and at noon go for bathing in the natural hot spring.

Simpani

There are two differest trails to get up to Tadapani. One trail goes up via crossing the long bridge then all the way up to the Gurung village, throuhg the forest and catch the main trail from Ghandruk to Tadapani and other trail goes up direct uphill till the Chhomrong Danda and easy way to Kimrung Khola then walking all the way uphill till Tadapani.

If we take the way from Chhomrong then we make a lunch break around Kimrung Khola at the local lodge and start climbing uphill to Tadapani via a terraced field, Chuile, and deep rhododendron forest.

We start walking through a beautiful and peaceful Himalayan forest. Today’s trek is like meditational walking. This trekking is newly opened so there are few tourists and quite an interesting destination. Tea houses or lodges are simply the best with warm dining rooms. 

Dobato

We must hike about very early with flash light up to Mulday view point for the beautiful sunrise. Mulday is one of the best and dominant viewpoints around Annapurna Panorama trekking. Descend down to the hotel for breakfast and start trekking towards Chistibang. The beautiful horizontal mountains view, wide landscape and pastures ridges and Meditational walking trail throught the alpine forest makes the trek very impressive.

Start your trek very early in the morning and reach to Khopradanda in good time. There are many options of hiking for the day such as excursion to the holy Khayer Lake with pack lunch Or hiking a little higher up close to the alpine pastures Lake and see the beautiful surrounding views or make some short excurions above the Khopradanda and return to the hotel and spend overnight.

If you want to visit Holy Khayar Lake then you should at least need more than 10 hours time. Also you need enough drinking water and energy bars and some warm cloths. Flash light must be bringing with because sometimes you can not return to Khopradanda hotel in time then it will help you for walking at dark. The holy Khayar Lake is impressive for Hindus and Buddhist religion but the views are equally the same almost from everywhere.

Khopradanda

Enjoy your breakfast and descend via Chistibang. The trail goes through the beautifl peaceful forest with enjoying the songs of birds, rivers streams. Accassionally you arrive to the human settlement and mostly you need to walk through Oak, pine, bamboo, rhododendron,hemlock and so many different kinds of Himalayan vegetations. The trail is often easy down and enjoyable. Finally you will arrive at the most primitive and typical Poon village for overnight.

Today you will have enough time free for the day. You can do your laundry, or enjoying beers or reading and writing or exploring the village.

 

poonhillThe trail is often up, in some parts through the staircases and you you will arrive Ghorepani by the Noon.  If the weather is super fine you can make a Poonhil viewpoint on the same day. If you are interested for the best sunrise then wait the next morning. Enjoy your day again on your own at the heavenly beautiful place.

You must go to Poonhill viewpoint very early in the morning ( 5:00AM) it takes 45 minutes hiking along the stone staircases. Enjoy the best views and descend to the hotel for breakst. After the breakfast you have to trek down till Banthanti. The Jeep will be waiting you there and drive 2.5 hours along the bumpy road to Pokhara. Enjoy your free time in Pokhara
