Arrive at the Kathmandu Airport where a representative of Adventure Bound will receive you then you will be transferred to the Hotel.

Early Morning fly to Pokhara and drive to Naypul, from where the actual trekking trail begins. We trek an easy trail across many little villages and have lunch on the way. We follow Bhurungdi Khola and its canyon towards Hile. The trail is remarkably populated by people of different ethnicities and castes. We spend our first night in the lodge which has a natural vibe being surrounded by paddy fields. Overnight at trekking lodge.

The early morning climb is a tough one over the stony staircases, through the village of Ulleri along with the herds of mules and donkeys transporting provisions for upper regions. In the afternoon, the trail goes through different fields and lush green forests with a number of bird species and flowers, the most common species of plants here are the world’s highest rhododendron trees. We finally reach Ghorepani which is situated on a ridge overlooking the mountain ranges and is a well-developed tourist destination in the region. A great view of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri can be seen from the famous view point called Poonhill, which is only 30 minutes walk from Ghorepani. As one of the main attractions of the trek, Poonhill is a spot that no one skips. Overnight at trekking lodge.

Early in the morning a 45-minute hike takes us to Poon Hill (3,200m) to enjoy the sunrise view over Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m.), Tukuche Peak (6,920m.), Nilgiri (6,940m.), Varaha Shikhar (7,847m.), Mt.

After a refreshing detour in the morning, the hike goes down to Ghorepani where we will have a hot breakfast at the lodge. From here we continue our trek to Ghandruk (2,650 m). The walk begins by ascending up through the rhododendron forest, towards a hill top called Deurali. Then we go downhill (moderate trail-not always downhill) to Banthati. For most part of the trail we trek through rhododendron forests, the beautiful flowers adorning the jungle with colors in spring when they bloom. Once we reach Banthati, we stop to have lunch and then start on a steep trail until we reach Tadapani, a small village with some tea houses. Overnight in lodge

After breakfast at Tadapani, It’s an easy trekking day, descending gently all the way through rhododendron, oak and other kinds of dense forests with different kinds of birds chirping on the way. This is one of the most popular destinations for the bird watchers. Ghandruk is a traditional Gurung village with friendly, welcoming people who will entertain us with their heartwarming hospitality. There is a handicraft centre and Gurung museum where we can learn more about these incredible people and their history. From this village we can watch sunset and sunrise setting mountains like Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna (7,455m.), Annapurna III (7,755m.) and Fishtail ablaze with golden light. Overnight in trekking lodge.

After breakfast, the trail climbs up through Ghandruk village for a while and continues downhill through the farming villages to a river, where we will cross a suspension bridge at the bottom, and then follow a steep short climb to Jhinudanda. Once we get to the lodge, we freshen up in our rooms and walk down to the riverside to enjoy the natural hot spring. After relaxing in the hot water, we will walk back up to the lodge.

You can go to the hot spring again in the morning for a dip, and later hop back onto the trail which leads down through a valley to cross another bridge.
