The rest of our time in Kathmandu is free for further sightseeing, exploration & final preparation for next morning to trekking. In the late afternoon your tour guide will confirm departure information for the next morning.

After breakfast, fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara which takes about 25 minutes. Meet our guide at the airport and drive to trek start point Nayapul.

The first days walk is generally just enough to stretch one’s legs and get you away from the road head. Depending on the time available one might choose to continue on to Ghorepani Hill.

The morning ascent takes us eastwards for about an hour until we come to the crest of the hill. For a brief period the trail becomes fairly even before it descending through thick forest to Banthati where we stop for lunch. Banthati is a small place comprising of a few houses turned into lodges and restaurants. From here we descend for another hour before climbing a steep hill at the top of which lies Tadapani. Tadapani comprises of a few nicely built houses turned into lodges. The people here are all from Ghandrung and they settled here just for the purpose of setting up in business for the trekker who pass this way. A more central and close-up view of Machapuchare can be enjoyed from here.

Begin by a gradual climb after which we descend to the Modi Khola. We then start climbing all the way up to chomrong Danda and then descend to Chomrong village. Time – 6-7 hours.

Proceed to Kuldi Ghar . The name Kuldi is strictly speaking applied to a single house perched on the west side of the valley. There is a clearing in the forest a little further on.

From Kuldi the route goes very steeply down to a band of rock and then levels out, running through thickets of bamboo in the bottom of the gorge, keeping on the west side of the river. The pasture of Tomo is passed and then we reach Dhoban our campsite for the day. Approx 6- 7 hours trek.

Can be used this in any day in-between.

The descent follows same route to pleasant camp spot at Bamboo camp. Time – 6-7 hours.

The trail continues through rhododendron and bamboo. After Chomrong the trail continues steeply up stony steps to Kabrey Chautara and soon after the trail to Ghandrung leaves the Landrung path dropping away towards the river.

The trail climbs quite rapidly to the Gurung village of Landrung, after which there is generally pleasant trekking through farmland with the odd outcrop of houses and the occasional school. After lunch there is a longish climb through rhododendron before cresting the ridge and dropping down towards Dhampus. Time – 4½ hours.

On our last day we have a choice of routes to return to Pokhara: we can either descend the ridge to Dhampus and on down steeply to the Yamdi Khola valley and trek to Pokhara via Henja; or turn south from Austrian Camp to the Kaski Ridge via Naudanda and Sarangkot. From Sarangkot the main trail leads straight into Pokhara, or a poor trail to the banks of the Phewa Tal can be followed. The lakeside walk is a great way to end this fine trek.

Early morning drive to Sarangkot for Sunrise view. Drive back to Hotel and have breakfast. Half day sightseeing of Davis falls, Mahendra cave and Bindabasini Temple. Free time in lakeside for boating. Overnight at Hotel in Pokhara

Breakfast at hotel and transfer to the domestic airport to connect the flight to Kathmandu.Fly back to Kathmandu. Day on your own. Evening enjoy with the dinner at typical Nepali restaurant with Cultural performances.

Trip ends, return back to your home town taking with you the best memories of a life time.
