Our Himalayan journey begins as you arrive in Kathmandu. A drive along the Prithvi Highway settles down at Pokhara. Located at the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, the city offers stunning natural beauty and cultural delight. After a short drive to the hamlet of Kyumi, we begin our trek heading to the hamlet of Chhomrong for our first night on the go. Chhomrong is a Gurung village in en route to the classic trail to the Annapurna Base camp. Entering the lush green forests, the journey quickly ascends towards the Gurung hamlet of Dobhan. The next day takes us to the foothills of the Himalayas as the icy trail reaches Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The base camp does offer elegant views of the surrounding Annapurna Himalayas and the Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m). With the majestic Annapurna Range guiding the journey, we make our way over to the Annapurna Base Camp. The base camp is equally majestic in nature evident by the panorama of the Annapurna Himalayas on the skyline. Enjoying the views of sunrise from the camp, we make our way down to the hamlet of Bamboo leading onto Jhinu village. Here, we can enjoy relaxing natural hot spring bath. The final stretch of our journey takes us back to Kyumi and then back to Pokhara which concludes our adventure.
We, here at Nepal Ascent Treks, are always up to enjoy a lovely stay in the Himalayas. With well-trained guides and meticulously planned itineraries, we assure you a memorable journey. We also allow you to customize the trips according to your demands.
