• We drive all the way to Gurung village of Ghandruk. This city is blessed with the view of the Annapurna range as well as Mt. MAcchapuchhre (6,993) and the availability of the cherry blossoms in the area makes it even more spectacular. Descending down the forest we reach Kimrong river.

• Climbing the hill and through the forest, we will reach an open land. Walking some more and we will reach Chhmrong (2,310m). Then after a long descent through the stone staircase, we cross a long suspension bridge. Again, it’s a long way up to Sinuwa. From there, we trek through the Bamboo forest and hillside and crossing Bamboo we reach Deurali. 6 hours of walk. BLD included.
• We start off early and walk up and down the rocky trails. From there, we will come across a wide grassy land that continues for miles. The mountains look shiny and highlighted from the distance. Their peak looks glittering with sunlight. It’s a peaceful walk until alongside the river until we reach a long staircase to Macchapuchhre Base camp. It’s a good place to enjoy the great fishtail mountain which looks huge from up close. After resting for a while we slowly walk towards Annapurna Base camp. 8 hours of walk. BLD included.
• Early morning, the view of the sunrise reflecting upon the Annapurna ranges is a sight to behold. We take our breakfast and walk back the way we came. It’s downhill so the trek becomes easier. Walking past the grassland and forest we cross Deurali and reach Sinuwa by dawn. 7 hours of walk. BLD Included.
• From Sinuwa we drop down through the long arduous stairs to cross the suspension bridge. Then we climb another series of awfully long stairs to reach Chhomrong. From there, we use a different path back home. We descend down the steep hill and reach JhinuDanda to reach the famous natural hot spring. Take a dip and we are good to go. We descend some more and stay overnight at an inn. 6 hours of walk. BLD included.
• Early morning after breakfast, we trek through the farmland. The walk is pleasant as there are no climbs. Through the terraced landscape, we reach Nayapul. From there we drive back to Pokhara through the winding roads alongside the great Modi Khola. Rest the luggage in the hotel and there will be plenty of time to enjoy the clean and tourist city of Pokhara. 2 hours of walk. 3 hours of drive. Breakfast included.
• We will drive back to the capital city through the same winding roads, with the view of the huge hills, white rivers and the terraced farmland from our window.
