You will arrive in Kathmandu today. Our representatives will pick you up from the Tribhuvan International Airport and transfer you to your hotel. You can explore the historic city of Kathmandu in the evening. We will welcome you with traditional Nepali dinner. The diner will be followed by cultural dance. We will brief you about the upcoming tour.

We will drive to Pokhara after an early breakfast. The journey takes 6-7 hours on a tourist bus. You will travel along beautiful green hills and rivers. Pokhara is a famous lake city. Phewa lake is the largest lake in Pokhara. We will be staying at the Phewa lakeside.

Our trek starts today. We will first drive to Nayapul – the place where our trek begins. It is a one and half hours of drive to Nayapul from Pokhara. The trek is gentle and flat for the first part. Once we reach a place called Birenthanti (1,080 m/3,543 ft), the trail starts to get uphill.

We meet typical Nepali villages on our way like – Matathanti, Ramgai, Sudame and Hile. We follow the Modi river which gets more turbulent as we move uphill. We reach Tikhedhunga for evening stay. It is a wonderful place to spend your evening, being far away from the noise and pollution of urban settlements.

We will have an early breakfast and head for the village of Ghorepani. We will follow the Modi river for a while and then cross it through a high suspension bridge. An hour of trek from the bridge takes us to the beautiful Ulleri village (2,080 m/6,824 ft). The path from the bridge to Ulleri provides a wonderful view of Hiuchuli, Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) mountains.

Ulleri is a thickly populated village. The villagers provide accommodation for trekkers. We will not stay in Ulleri and continue our trek further. Banthanti (2,300 m/7,545 ft) and Nangethanti (2,450 m/8,038 ft) are other beautiful villages that lie on our road. We will walk through deep rhododendron forest in the last part of the day and reach Ghorepani.

We will wake up much early today because we need to reach the top of Poon Hill before breakfast. Poon Hill is the main highlight of our trek. The sight of the Sun rising over the mountains is brilliant. You will meet many trekkers at Poon Hill. Poon Hill offers wonderful view of the Dhaulagiri I, II, III, IV, V, Dhampus Peak, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Barah Sikhar, Mt. Fishtail, Nilgiri South and Tukuche peaks.

We will return back to our homestay after a wonderful morning experience in Poon Hill. We will then begin our trek to Ghandruk after breakfast. We will walk through rhododendron forest after leaving Ghorepani and reach a place called Bhaisi Kharka. Bhaisi Kharka means buffalo grazing pasture in Nepali. Today’s trek is long and tiresome but the path is wonderful and provides impeccable view of the mountains. We will reach Ghandruk in the evening. You can explore the local Gurung museum and enjoy the wonderful view of sunset.

Poon Hill is a mountain watchers paradise. We should begin our climb at a very first hour of the morning so that we can make it to the top of Poon Hill before the sun rises over the Himalayas. We will get a panoramic view of mountains like Dhaulagiri I, II, III, IV, V, Dhampus Peak, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Barah Sikhar, Mt. Fishtail, Nilgiri South and Tukuche from Poon Hill.

We come back to our Hotel after spending a wonderful morning in Poon Hill. After having our breakfast, we will begin our trek to Tadapani. The trail is uphill up to Deurali (2,990 m/9,809 ft) and then goes down to Banthanti (2,520 m/8,267 ft). The trail to Tadapani is a lovely up and down stroll inside the green forests of rhododendron, oak and bamboo. We will see beautiful waterfalls, valleys, birds and wild animals on our way.

We will bid farewell to our guides and potters and head back to Kathmandu today. You can follow the same river trail you took on your way to Pokhara or you also have the option to travel by air. The second option comes at extra cost.
