Our airport team welcomes you at Tribhuvan International Airport on your arrival day. You will have a hassle-free transfer to hotel from airport. The remaining day is free for rest and enjoy your bustling surroundings.

The long drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara is a scenic journey which offers breathtaking views, terraced hillside, rolling and rural villages that follows Trishuli and Marsyangdi rivers. The path gives Nepal's village life along with views of distant mountains, which makes the journey beautiful itself.

Upon reaching Pokhara, trekkers are welcomed by a relaxed lakeside atmosphere and scenic views of the Annapurna range. Trekkers can spend theirs rest of the day exploring beautiful Pokhara.

After an early breakfast, we take a drive from Pokhara to Jhunu Danda which takes about four hours by jeep. The drives offer stunning views of rivers, mountains, rural villages, and terraced hills. Upon reaching Jhinu Danda, our trekking journey officially starts.

Here, we trek from Jhinu Bridge to Jhinu Danda by crossing a suspension bridge over the Modi Khola (river) and ascends through the lush forests and stone towards a beautiful Gurung village, Chhomrong. The village provides a comfortable teahouse and a perfect place to rest before heading towards our journey. The path offers stunning views of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South.

From Chhomrung, we descend to Chhomrong khola (river) through steep stone steps and terraced fields and then climbs through rhododendron forests and dense bamboo. The path passes us through a quite small village with beautiful mountain views and teahouses, Sinuwa and then we reach our destination Bamboo.

Bamboo is a small quite settlement set in a narrow valley where we will stay for a night. The trails offer a peaceful natural environment and start the journey from open villages to deeper Himalayan Forest on the Annapurna Base Camp route.

After breakfast we continue our trek from Bamboo, the trail walk us through dense rhododendron, alpine and bamboo forests that follows the Modi Khola (river), Then the path gradually ascends via Dovan and Himalaya, where the landscape starts opening up and it gradually cools down in the air. Continuing along, the forests start to get thinner, and in return, the scenery gets rockier with impressive cliffs and mountain scenery.

Deurali is on a high alpine valley and one of the important acclimatization stops on the Annapurna Base Camp Trail before walking towards Machhapuchhre Base Camp. In Deurali we will spend rest of the night.

We continue our trek from Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp via Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the trails ascend through a high-altitude of glacial valleys and rocky terrain. The route gradually ascends above the tree line towards Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC), which offers scenic sunrise and 360-degree Himalayan amphitheater views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and surrouding peaks.

From Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC), continue across a broad glacier valley to Annapurna Base Camp, with a natural amphitheater of Himalayan giants that form one of the most scenic and rewarding moments of the Annapurna Circuit journey. Here we explore the surrounding.

The trek from Annapurna Base Camp down to Bamboo walk us through the back to same routes we come across early to the journey. The trail descend downhill passing through Machhapuchhre Base Camp, Deurali, downhill through the glacial valley and rugged high terrain, into alpine forests again. The trail slowly documented its way into thick rhododendron and bamboo forests as one moved past Himalaya and Dovan, following the Modi Khola downstream. This downhill walk provides differing scenery, fresh mountain atmosphere, and a comfortable overnight stop at Bamboo after a fulfilling time at Annapurna Base Camp.

It is a downhill trek from Bamboo to Jhinu Danda through the dense bamboo and rhododendron forests, uphill up to Sinuwa and Chhomrong-a busy Gurung village with mountain views in all directions. From Chhomrong, the trail drops steeply to Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs near Modi Khola, a perfect place to relax after finishing the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

Beginning at Jhinu Danda, a gentle descent leads to the bridge over Modi Khola at Jhinu Bridge takes about 15minutes. The walk is largely along village trails and terraces lands that provide the last glimpses of the surrounding hills.

After arriving at Jhinu Bridge, trekkers have the option to return to Pokhara by either jeep. This takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. Along the way, trekkers get to enjoy the serene river valleys and hillsides. This offers a nice and serene end to the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

While driving from Pokhara to Kathmandu, you go up to Damauli, Dumre, Mugling and Kurintar where Nepal’s first Cable car is operated to reach Manakamana (wishes) Temple.
