Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our friendly team from Chingu Treks and Tours will welcome you and transfer you to your comfortable hotel in the heart of the city. After settling in, you will have time to relax and acclimatize to the bustling city atmosphere. In the evening, enjoy a traditional Nepali welcome dinner with your fellow travelers, where you will be briefed about the upcoming adventure. This is also the perfect opportunity to explore the vibrant streets of Thamel, filled with shops, cafes, and cultural energy, preparing you for the exciting journey ahead.
After an early breakfast, we take a scenic domestic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, flying over the majestic Himalayan range. On arrival, you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant by the serene Phewa Lake. Post lunch, we embark on a picturesque drive to Chhumrung, a charming village nestled in the Annapurna region. The journey takes you through lush landscapes, terraced fields, and traditional villages, providing a glimpse of rural Nepali life. On arrival in Chhumrung, check in at a cozy lodge, unwind, and enjoy a warm dinner while absorbing the surrounding mountain views.
Today marks the start of our trekking adventure. After breakfast, we set off from Chhumrung, passing through rhododendron forests, small streams, and terraced farmland. The trail gradually ascends, offering breathtaking views of Machapuchare and Annapurna South. Along the way, we encounter local Gurung villages, where we can interact with friendly villagers and learn about their culture and traditions. After a rewarding trek, we reach the Himalaya village, a peaceful settlement surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas. Here, we settle into our teahouse, enjoy a hearty dinner, and rest, preparing for the exciting journey to Annapurna Base Camp tomorrow.
This is one of the most memorable days of the trek. We leave Himalaya early in the morning, trekking through varied landscapes of alpine meadows, flowing rivers, and rocky trails. The trek gradually becomes steeper as we approach the Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by towering peaks, glaciers, and dramatic cliffs. The sense of achievement upon reaching the base camp is incredible, as you are now at the heart of the Annapurna Massif. We spend the evening at the base camp, enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of Annapurna, Machapuchare, and Hiunchuli while savoring a hot meal and reflecting on the day’s adventure.
After soaking in the morning sunrise over the Himalayan peaks, we begin our descent from Annapurna Base Camp back towards Chhumrung. The trail winds downward through rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and charming villages, offering numerous photo opportunities. Along the way, we pause for refreshments and interact with local people, experiencing their daily lifestyle. The descent allows us to appreciate the stunning landscapes from a new perspective. By evening, we arrive back in Chhumrung, where a warm dinner awaits. Guests can relax in the lodge, recount the highlights of the trek, and enjoy a peaceful night surrounded by mountain serenity.
After a restful night in Chhumrung, we begin our journey back to Pokhara by road. The drive passes through scenic valleys, rivers, and traditional Nepali villages, offering ample opportunities to photograph the beautiful countryside. Upon arrival in Pokhara, you can relax by Phewa Lake, enjoy a boat ride, or explore Lakeside’s vibrant streets filled with cafes, shops, and local art. In the evening, savor a delicious dinner at a lakeside restaurant while reflecting on your memorable trek. The night in Pokhara is perfect for rest and preparing for the journey back to Kathmandu tomorrow.
We take an early morning flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu, providing spectacular aerial views of the Himalayas. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided Kathmandu city tour covering key cultural and historical landmarks such as Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. You will learn about Nepal’s rich heritage, religious traditions, and vibrant local life. The tour also includes time to shop for souvenirs, handicrafts, and traditional Nepali items.
