Annapurna

A gentle Annapurna circuit sampler: sunrise from Poon Hill at 3,210 m, lodge nights in Gurung villages like Ghorepani and Ghandruk, and big views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machhapuchhre—ideal as a first multi-day trek.

Twenty-one days around the full Annapurna Circuit: Marsyangdi villages and Manang acclimatisation, Thorung La at 5,416 m, Muktinath and the Kali Gandaki gorge, hot springs at Tatopani, and a Poon Hill sunrise finish—one of the world’s great long-distance treks.

Prince Charles’s 1980s route through quiet Annapurna foothills: ridge walks from Kalikasthan to Syaklung and Chisopani, Gurung villages, and Begnas Lake—an easy, uncrowded four-day trek below 1,730 m.

Poon Hill from Pokhara only: private transfers to Nayapul, four nights in twin-share teahouses, stone steps to Ghorepani, sunrise on the ridge, then forest trails to Tadapani and Ghandruk before exiting toward Phedi and the drive back—breakfast included each lodge morning; other meals you pay locally.

Eight days from Kathmandu to Pokhara and a gentle Annapurna loop: Phedi to Pothana, Landruk above the Modi Khola, and Gurung Ghandruk—with Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre views throughout.

Twelve days to Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 m along a quiet Annapurna ridgeline: rhododendron forest, High Camp sunrises, and close views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli—a calmer alternative to ABC.

Seventeen days from Kathmandu’s UNESCO sites to Pokhara and the Annapurna sanctuary: Gurung villages at Ghandruk, stone steps through Chomrong and Dovan, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m—with city culture, lakeside rest, and the full ABC loop.
