Your guide will meet you at Kathmandu airport. You can fly on any convenient flight, but we recommend arriving before lunch to have enough time to walk around the city. Then you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Thamel area, the tourist center of Nepal. After a short rest, we offer you to walk around Kathmandu on your own and explore its historical part, visit the numerous shops, admire the temples and feel the local flavor. In the evening, we'll pack our things. Our trekking starts tomorrow!

Today we’ll spend the whole day on the road. Early in the morning we’ll drive to Besisahar village (travel time – about 7 hours). Here we’ll rest a little, have a snack, and then we’ll drive to Chamche village by jeep. The transfer will take 3 hours. On the way, we’ll admire kilometers of picturesque landscapes, green rice terraces and waterfalls.

Upon arrival, we’ll check into a lodge.

Today is a very important day — the beginning of our trekking! In the morning we’ll have a hearty breakfast with traditional flatbreads and spiced masala tea. Then we’ll start trekking: we'll pass along the suspension bridge and see the Marsyangdi River. We’ll go along the shore through gorges and canyons, reach the cozy village of Tal, have lunch and move on. Our goal for today is Dharapani village, where we'll spend the night and get to know the locals.

Ascent — 530 m, descent — 100 m.

We continue our journey: we’ll rise even higher, admire the snow mountains and the mighty eight-thousandth peak Manaslu (8,163 m)! We’ll also see more and more coniferous forests. Soon we’ll reach Chame village and check into a lodge. Those who wish will be able to walk around the neighborhood, taste local cuisine, learn more about the life and traditions of local residents and, perhaps, see traditional rituals.

Ascent — 900 m, descent — 400 m.

We’ll start early in the dawn: we’ll pass the gorge and the coniferous grove, and soon we’ll see a magnificent view of the Annapurna II mountain peak. We’ll get to Upper Pisang village, check into a lodge and take a short walk around the surroundings. Towards evening we will visit an ancient Buddhist monastery.

On this day, we’ll deviate a little from the classical route and go around the Marsyangdi River along its northern shore, admiring the panoramas of Annapurna. We’ll stop for lunch at the ancient settlement of Naval, whose inhabitants still honor medieval traditions. And in the evening we’ll reach the village of Braga (3,360 m) and check into a lodge.

Ascent — 560 m, descent — 100 m.

In the morning we’ll visit an ancient Buddhist monastery, and then we will climb to a height of 4,050 m to the cave of the Tibetan Buddhist master Milarepa. It will be a great opportunity for acclimatization to the high elevation. We’ll return to Braga for lunch, and then we’ll reach the village of Manang (altitude 3,540 m).

Ascent — 900 m, descent — 700 m.

We’ll make a short trek to village of Yak Kharki (altitude — 4,018 meters). We’ll move higher and higher, the landscapes around will change: green forests will give way to snow and rocks. We will spend about 5 hours on the way.

Ascent — 500 m, overnight stay at 4,018 m.

Today we’ll make a short hike through a beautiful gorge to the village of Thorong Phedi (altitude 4,450 m). After resting we’ll make an acclimatization trek to High Camp. We will return to the village for the night.

Ascent — 400 m.

In the morning we’ll go to High Camp. The trek is short, but the ascent is essential, so we won’t rush. Then we’ll go out for acclimatization to the neighboring peak (5,000 m). We will spend the night at High Camp.

Ascent — 450 m, overnight stay at an altitude of 4,900 m.

Today is perhaps the most important day of our program: we will climb up 550 meters and cross the Thorong La Pass! Then we’ll descend to Muktinath village. It is one of the most challenging parts of the trek, but it’s really something to be proud of. We will check into a very atmospheric "Bob Marley" guesthouse, take a shower and have dinner with delicious steaks.

Ascent — 550 m, descent — 1,700 m, overnight at an altitude of 3,700 m.

We’ll get up early in the morning and visit the temple in Muktinath — one of the most sacred in Nepal. We’ll see the sacred springs, the ancient galleries of the Vishnu temple and feel the incredible atmosphere.

Then we’ll go further to the fortress city of Kagbeni and see the residential buildings and defensive walls. We’ll admire the surrounding landscapes and check into a lodge.

Descent — 850 m.

In the morning we’ll drive to Pokhara by jeeps (travel time — about 8 hours). Pokhara is a resort town on the shores of Phewa Lake. We’ll check into a hotel in the Lakeside area and take a walk along the embankment. Then we’ll have lunch in the restaurant where we can try fresh fish dishes. In the evening you can go to the festival of national music or to a massage session. We will spend the night at the hotel.

Today before lunch — rest and free time, we deserve it :) You can also walk around the city or buy souvenirs. In the afternoon we’ll drive to the airport to fly to Kathmandu. Those who wish can stay in Pokhara and explore the Chitwan National Park.

We’ll get up early in the morning and visit Boudhanath, the largest stupa in the country. After that, we’ll walk along the streets to the Pashupatinath Temple located near Bagmati River. Then we’ll go to Swayambhunath (or Monkey Temple) — the oldest center of Tibetan Buddhism. Finally, we’ll reach the Durbar Square and try to see Kumari, the living goddess, in the windows of her palace.

In the evening we’ll have a final dinner of the tour.

In the morning — transfer to the airport (not included in the price) and flight home.
