Day by Day Itinerary

I will arrange for a comfortable car or jeep to pick you up, or if you prefer, I can personally meet you at the airport with a sign bearing your name. Afterward, I will take you to your hotel, where you can take a break and relax. Later, we will meet to discuss the trip details and make any necessary payments. You will spend the night at a hotel in Kathmandu.

After having breakfast at the hotel, we'll set off for the Sorakhutte Bus Station in Kathmandu before 7am. We'll take a tourist-standard bus to Pokhara, which will take around 7 hours and provide us with stunning views of lush green valleys throughout the drive. Once we reach Pokhara, we'll still have some time to explore the area. If you're up for it, we can take a stroll along the lake or explore the city on foot.

After a hotel breakfast, we will drive to Phedi in private vehicles, a journey of approximately 18 km west of Pokhara. This is where our walk towards the stunning Dhampus village will begin. We will follow a stone-made trail ascending from Phedi for about two hours, taking in the breathtaking landscapes, valley views, and traditional homes along the way. Dhampus is a Gurung village with a mix of other ethnicities. As we pass Dhampus, the trail becomes easier and offers the best views of the Annapurna ranges to the north. Another two hours of walking will take us to Pothana, where we will spend the night. Pothana is a small area with only seven lodges, but it is situated atop a mountain offering stunning panoramic views.

After a hot and nutritious breakfast at the local lodge in Pothana, we'll begin our 6-hour walk to Ghandruk. The route will take us through traditional houses, terraced paddy and millet fields, temples, waterfalls, rivers, suspension bridges, and snow-capped mountains.

The beginning of the journey will be steeply uphill from Pothana to Pitam Deurali, located at 2100m, before descending for about 15 minutes into the forest. From there, we'll follow off-road paths to Landruk, a large Gurung village where we'll stop for lunch. We'll then make our way down to the river and continue up to Ghandruk, the largest Gurung village in the Kaski district and a popular destination for Annapurna trekkers. Many Gurung people work as soldiers in the UK and India. We'll spend the night in Ghandruk village.

We will start our day with breakfast and follow a small trail north of Ghandruk. Our first hour of walking will be a gradual ascent through a tropical forest with waterfalls. Although it's a short day, we may have the chance to spot wildlife such as deers, langoor monkeys, Thar, and a variety of colorful birds. The trail will continue to ascend for another hour, taking us to Bhaishikharka where we can take a break and enjoy a cup of tea. We will then continue through the forest to reach Tadapani.

This small area has only seven small tea houses but is situated on top of a hill, offering breathtaking views of Annapurna South and Fishtail from the yard of your lodge.

Today is a bit of a challenge, as we will mostly be trekking up through the lush forest and majestic mountains of the Adirondacks. But it is also one of the best days to explore the high mountain range, with its open and unclouded panoramic views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, pine forests, and wild animals. The first and last thirty minutes of the day will be spent descending, but the other four to five hours will be spent climbing through the beautiful rhododendron and pine forests. Once we reach Ghorepani, the stunning views will be visible all around us, especially in the morning when the view from Ghorepani is especially breathtaking. We will spend the night in a lodge here.

Day 7 is the highlight of the trip as we will reach the summit of Poon Hill View Tower, situated at 3210 meters. From this vantage point, you will be able to take in breathtaking views of several mountains, especially in the clear morning sky. The 50-minute steep climb is well worth it for the stunning views. After taking in the sights, we will retrace our steps back to the Ghorepani hotel for a meal and then continue our descent to Hille, a journey of about 5 hours through the forest and past some Magar villages. We will spend the night in a local lodge.

Today marks the final day of our trek and it will be an easy walk, as we will be following a well-defined road for just three hours. After reaching Nayapul, we will take a private taxi or jeep back to our hotel in Pokhara. We can spend the night relaxing near the beautiful Phewa Lake, sipping on drinks and tea.

The drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu takes approximately 6 to 7 hours, depending on road conditions and traffic. The journey covers a distance of approximately 200 km and takes you through scenic mountain landscapes, traditional villages, and bustling towns. The road from Pokhara to Kathmandu is a combination of winding mountain roads and smooth highways, offering a mix of challenging and comfortable driving conditions.

During the drive, you will have opportunities to stop at various viewpoints, take in the stunning views, and capture some memorable photos. After reaching Kathmandu, you will be dropped off at your hotel where you can relax and unwind from the long journey.

On the final departure day, you will be bidding farewell to Nepal after completing your student tour with an independent guide. Depending on your flight schedule, you will be picked up from your hotel and transported to the airport for your onward journey. Before leaving, you may want to spend some time shopping for souvenirs, exploring the local markets, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of the city one last time.

Your independent guide will assist you with any final arrangements and ensure that you have a smooth and hassle-free departure. Once you arrive at the airport, you will check-in for your flight and embark on the next leg of your journey, with memories of your time in Nepal that will last a lifetime.
