Once you are checked in our climbing guide and other participants will go through the final preparation for the trip. In the evening get ready to be introduced to Nepali cuisines.

The guide goes through preparation and briefing with the team and formal procedures regarding the Ministry of Tourism you will be engaged in exploring the fascinating sights of the city. Our guided tour will lead you to some UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Kathmandu valley. This final day is also for final necessary arrangements and a last-minute briefing on the expedition and grouping with the expedition team.

We leave Kathmandu at around 7 am, and nearly after 4-5 hours’ drive, we reach the Besishahar route. We see more of the countryside of Nepal that offers greeneries, rivers, villages, farms, and beautiful mountain sceneries.

We have to begin very early as we go on a long drive to reach our trek starting point. After breakfast, we drive along forested ridges with several landslides on route on the west. On our way to Chame, we come to meet with the most sensational views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna IV (7,525m)

After steep and narrow paths through a very thick forest bring us to the dramatic curved rock face, rising 1500m from the river. As the trail opens up, we find ourselves surrounded by majestic Himalayan Peaks in the U-shaped valley of Manang hanging between two giant snow peaks. After passing through these wonderful sites, we reach Pisang. Overnight at Pisang.

The panoramic views of the mountain peaks, such as Annapurna, Pisang peak, and several others will definitely mesmerize us. You can also find a memorable Barge monastery that you can visit, the biggest in the entire district of Manang. Overnight in Manang.

Today as scheduled is the day we acclimatize. It is recommended not to stay idle but instead go for a short walk. A higher altitude will be better to get acclimatized, So, we acclimatize our body to adjust to the conditions. Manang is a good place to do that as the next two days will be a very challenging and strenuous trek with rapid gain in altitude. We should never be careless when it comes to altitude and always be cautious.  Overnight at Manang.

From Manang, we move on through alpine landscapes with high-altitude vegetation and forests. A gradual hike takes us to Yak Kharka and then to our today’s camp. Ledar village is usually used as the alpine pasture by the local people.

Today, we continue the hike from Ledar to Chulu West Base Camp. From the Base Camp, we can enjoy the views of the Annapurna Himalayas. We can also discover the surrounding areas. At this base camp, our staff will set up our camp for overnight stay.

From the Chulu Base Camp, we keep on hiking towards high camp. The route is not that difficult. But we must not forget that we are climbing at high altitudes. At this point, we appreciate the magnificent views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains including Manaslu, Gangapurna, and Lamjung Himal.

This day is our summit day and it is going to be a long day. We wake up early at 3am and have breakfast. Get on our climbing gear and start our summit push of approx. 9/10 hours. We will have light pack lunch and liquid as well with us. The time to use ropes, crampons, and ice-axes will finally come today. We start our climb through high icy altitude trails but with amazing Himalayan scenes that are breathtaking as we can see many mountains such as Dhaulagiri, Annapurna 1, Annapurna 2, Annapurna 3, Annapurna 4, Nilgiri, Tilicho, Thorong peak, Manaslu, Himlung, Pisang peak, and many other peaks. Finally, we summit and return back to base camp.

Today, we clean up the base camp and head for Thorong Phedi. It is going to be mostly an easy way to walk downhills and uphills. However, we do not forget that we are still in a high-altitude area.

We start our trek by crossing the high pass of Thorong La Pass (5,416m) today before we reach Muktinath. There are certain sacred sites which are as important to Buddhists as they are to Hindus and one of them is the highly revered Muktinath Temple that sits at an altitude of 3,710m. Apart from that, a stunning view of Dhaulagiri peak and many other can be seen.

Today we drive to Tatopani from Muktinath, we will wake early in the morning, take breakfast and start our drive. The drive from Muktinath to Tatopani actually is not long but takes time due to its rugged road. During our drive, we can take a break at Jomsom and Marpha villages for lunch and tea. Marpha is known for its Apple farms. On the way to Tatopani we can see traditional and cultural villages. Once we arrive at Tatopani, we can enjoy and relax at natural hot spring.

We will wake up around 7am, take breakfast and start our drive to Pokhara. Pokhara is a city on Phewa Lake, in central Nepal. It’s known as a second city of Nepal. On the eastern shore, the Lakeside district has yoga centers and restaurants. In the city’s south, the International Mountain Museum has exhibits on the history of mountaineering and the people of the Himalayas. as we will arrive late in Pokhara today, we might stay one more day to explore the area of Pokhara and do activities like Boating, Mountain flight and Paragliding etc.

We catch an early flight to Kathmandu after our long mountain journey. we can rest or go souvenir shopping or explore other areas of Kathmandu, we may do that today. There will be a farewell celebration dinner in the evening to celebrate the successful completion of our journey.

This day is to fly back home or to join destinations that you may have and also to take away the beautiful memories of the climbing and as we all bid farewell, we hope to see you again and hope for a safe journey back.
