Upon arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, you will be warmly welcomed by our airport representative. After a traditional greeting, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. We’ll then discuss your trip and provide a briefing on the package. In the evening, enjoy a traditional welcome dinner.

Your first day starts with breakfast at your hotel. Then, you’ll set out for a full day of sightseeing. First, you’ll visit the famous Swayambhunath Temple, also known as the Monkey Temple. This ancient Buddhist site is a major attraction for both tourists and pilgrims. Its tall white dome and golden spire are visible from miles around, and the view of Kathmandu Valley from the top is amazing.

Next, you’ll head to Kathmandu Durbar Square, a key historic and tourist spot in Nepal. The highlight here is the Hanuman Dhoka Palace, named after the monkey god Hanuman. At the southern end of the square, you’ll find the Kumari Chowk, home to the living goddess of Nepal.

After lunch, you’ll stroll through the lively Ason market before returning to your hotel.

After an early breakfast, you’ll take a private vehicle to Besisahar. Although the drive is long, it’s full of scenic views. You’ll start on the road to Pokhara, then turn off at Dumre to head north to Besisahar. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and take some time to rest.

Today after breakfast, drive to Danaque and trek a gradually ascending path and cross a stream to reach Koto. On the way you can enjoy the spectacular mountain views are of Annapurna II and Manaslu range along with beautiful views of forests which add another dimension to your trek. Furthermore walking you will reach Koto which is a small village mainly inhabited by Gurung and other ethnic groups where you can explore and interact the lifestyle of Tibetans people mainly influenced by Buddhist. Stay overnight in Koto.

Start the day early, as there is a lot of distance to cover. Cross the river and enter the Nar & Phu valleys. Towns on the nearby Annapurna Circuit are relatively well developed, but this is not the case in these valleys.

Today’s trekking route passes through beautiful woods, past small cave shelters and pilgrims’ resting places. Emerging from a narrow canyon, the trail passes under a wide waterfall, from which point the woods become thinner and the vistas wider. The last stretch into Meta involves climbing a steep hill, from which there are amazing views of some of the giant snowy peaks in the area.Meta lies on a big open plain and consists of a few lodges, which are simple but clean and offer good meals.

Trekking out of Meta, some of the unique, colorful Tibetan Buddhist chortens that Nar and Phu are famous for begin to appear in sight. The trail meanders along the ridge with a good view of the magnificent Nar Phedi Monastery, where you will stay in a few days’ time. After another ninety minutes hiking through scenic canyons and gorges, you’ll reach a monolith that guards the steep trail up to Phu.

From here, you can get your first view of the three villages in the area as well as the old “dzong” (Tibetan-style fortress) and the remains of two ruined forts, impressively situated atop the flatlands before the village. Just before crossing the bridge into Phu, a line of wonderful chortens color the landscape.

After a rest and refreshments, take a short walk up to the famous Tashi Lhakhang Gompa to pay respects to Lama Karma Sonam Rimpoche who came to Nepal with the Dalai Lama in 1959.

Due to the high altitude, it’s good to have easy day today. Explore the tiny alleyways of the town Till lunch. Phu itself is an interesting village, and half day is well spent sitting with the villagers as they

spin their yak and sheep wool, pound mustard seeds into a paste for oil, or go about their other daily chores. After lunch trek to Kayang (3740m).

Today is a very gentle day. Climb out of Nar Phedi and follow a winding path up a hill towards Nar. Pass a line of wonderfully painted, bamboo-topped chortens on the way into the ancient village. Arrive in the town around lunch time. Even though Nar is not far from the main Annapurna trail, it is rarely visited by trekkers and is about as picturesque as it gets.

Nar is bit more social and lively than Phu, and during the day you may find the village ‘square’ teeming with chatting women with their back-strap looms weaving wool fabric for rugs and blankets.

With a few new teahouses built on the outskirts of Nar, you can stay in a comfortable lodge with an extensive menu.

Today will be a long day, so get up early to head up to Kang La Pass (5240m), the highest point of the trek and part of the Annapurna Circuit. The pass itself isn’t too tough, but the altitude might make the day feel longer. At the top, you’ll get great views of Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Tilicho Peak. The way down is steep, but if you like running on loose rocks, it can be fun! Have lunch on a plateau with a view of the peaks, then continue on to Ngawal.

Ngawal, on the Annapurna Circuit route, is quite different from the ancient villages you’ve seen in the Nar Phu area. Here, you’ll find bigger lodges with more menu choices, and most places will have WiFi and phone signals, making your stay more comfortable.

Today will be a much easier day following yesterday’s long trek. After breakfast, we’ll head to Braga village, famous for its historic monastery, which is one of the most notable in the region. Braga is a picturesque village with traditional stone houses and stunning views. The monastery here is celebrated for its detailed murals and statues, reflecting the area’s rich cultural and religious heritage.

After exploring the monastery, we’ll enjoy a leisurely walk to Manang and check into our hotel early. Manang is a vibrant village with a mix of traditional and modern features, offering great views and a chance to experience local life. After lunch, you’ll have some free time to explore Manang and relax before we get ready for the next high pass.

Today’s trek is a mix of uphill and downhill but very beautiful. You’ll walk through Manang and head towards the western gates. After crossing the river, you’ll continue on the southern side through a forest of pine trees. When you reach Kangsar village, keep walking up towards Siri Kharka, passing a monastery on the way. As you go uphill, you’ll get amazing views of Gungang Himal and Mt. Chulu. After a bit more walking, you’ll arrive at Siri Kharka, where you’ll stay overnight.

The journey from Siri Kharka to Tilicho Base Camp is demanding but offers great rewards. You’ll traverse rough and narrow mountain trails at high elevations. As you gradually ascend from Siri Kharka, you’ll navigate rocky paths and sparse plant life. Throughout the trek, you’ll be treated to magnificent views of surrounding mountain peaks and the stunning, untouched beauty of Tilicho Lake.

After an early breakfast, we’ll begin our climb to Tilicho Lake, one of Nepal’s highest lakes. The lake features deep blue waters and a serene atmosphere, though it is often windy. The trail consists of dry landslides and narrow paths, and the trek takes about three hours. Once we reach the lake, we’ll capture some photos and enjoy the breathtaking views before moving to the northern end to set up our campsite for the night.

Our team will set up your tent and prepare dinner for your overnight stay at Tilicho North campsite. This will be our only night sleeping in a tent.

Today is a major highlight of our trek, but also the toughest. We will cross the highest point of the trek, Mesokanta La. The trail starts off easy, but it becomes a steady climb until we reach the northern moraine of Tilicho. From there, the path becomes a series of switchbacks leading up to the top of Mesokanta La, where the views are incredible.

After taking in the scenery, we will start our descent to Jomsom, which is almost 2000 meters downhill. Be careful on the northern side as it can be slippery if there’s snow or ice. Along the way, we’ll pass by cairns and shepherd sheds. By the end of the day, you’ll be exhausted, so enjoy a hot shower and a good meal in Jomsom as we celebrate completing this challenging part of our trek.

A long ridge descent that leads gradually down to the Kali Gandaki River and the village of Jomsom. You pass through the pretty village then cross through an extensive network of terraced fields to reach the valley bottom, Jomsom. On arriving you will stay in a comfortable lodge close to the airport. Overnight in Jomsom.

Today, you’ll catch an early morning flight to Pokhara and take in breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. After landing at Pokhara airport, you’ll be transferred to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your leisure. Explore the scenic lakeside city, go boating, savor local cuisine, indulge in a spa treatment, or simply relax with a cold beer by the lake.

Depending on our flight schedule, you’ll have some free time before we head to Pokhara airport for our flight back to Kathmandu. Once we arrive in Kathmandu, we’ll drive to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy—whether you want to do some last-minute shopping, catch up on any activities you missed earlier, or simply relax and savor a meal at one of the city’s vibrant restaurants with fantastic cuisine.

Your final day in Kathmandu is a free day. You do as you like. Many people take the time for shopping others enjoy exploring the cultural sites of the city. Our local guide can advise you on the best shops in the area. Farewells! Our airport representative will travel with you to the airport.
