One of our representatives will be waiting for your arrival at the exit point of the airport. He will greet you in a traditional Nepalese style with a fresh garland, warm Namaste, and, of course, a beautiful smile. Then, through the winding alleys of Kathmandu, he will accompany you to your hotel. Take a rest for the day or if you wished to stroll around then, the nearby food vendors are the best place to spend your time in. They offer wonderful delicacies.

Sightseeing in Kathmandu is one of the most engaging activities in Nepal. The time-honored prodigious mansions of Kathmandu have left no eye without wonder. Out of 7, UNESCO listed cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu, we will only be able to explore 4 sites because of the time limitations. But we may add up an extra day in your itinerary for sightseeing around the remaining sites as well.

Those 4 incredible sites are so beautiful that your jaw will fall. Also, they have their distinct surprises to astonish you: Pashupatinath complex shelters over 400 intricately designed shrines; Patan Durbar Square features amazing architectures and artistic designs; Swayambhunath Temple stands on top of the hill peering at the Kathmandu valley; Boudhanath temple dominates with its massive mandala and amazing architecture. They are simply excellent.

Early in the morning, we will leave Kathmandu towards syange via Besisahar. The road is winding and follows many hilly settlements until we make an appearance at the Besisahar. From there, Khudi is just a couple of kilometers away, but the road is very much rough. Once you arrive at Khudi, explore the local village, and enjoy the views of lush hills all around.

Go past the Rainbow waterfall at Jagat and proceed towards the Chyamje village along the fair trails. Soon after Chyamje, the trail continues along the side of the valley, sometimes through the pleasant forest. The walk gets more interesting when you encounter another great waterfall within a radar of a couple of kilometers. The views of the mountains begin to show off as you progress through the exposed trails. Once you arrive at the village of Tal, the wild mountain vistas open up in their full grandeur. Without stopping by, continue to the Dharapani (translates to Tap Water).

Instead of catching the dirt road, you will follow the NATT (Natural Annapurna Trekking Trail) trails over the hills that demands you to cross a suspension bridge. Then, the trail crosses another river through the bridge to arrive at the plateau. Here, a line of Chortens and Mani walls shows you the path ahead to the Danakyu. From there, a steep ascent leads you towards the village of Tamang. Through a beautiful village of Thanchowk, built on the ridge, proceed towards the classic settlement of Chame through the village of Koto. Chame offers some of the best views of the Himalayan ranges.

Join the upper trail from Chame to Talekhu that leads through a pleasant pine forest. Soon after the Talekhu, the trail continues through the pine forest where some beautiful waterfalls lead you towards the apple farmland of Bhratang. Here, a landowner has started a big apple farm by purchasing 60 apple plants from Italy. Beyond Bhratang, the trail is carved out of a vertical rock wall. As interesting as it sounds, the trails are very much dangerous. A few kilometers ahead, a bridge named Swargadwari arrives, which means the “Gateway to Heaven”. Crossing this bridge, you will confront a dense forest of pine. As you arrive at Dhukur Pokhari, proceed towards the Pisang, which is just a few distances ahead. Instead of stopping by at Lower Pisang, we will go to the Upper Pisang because the views are much better from this point.

From Upper Pisang, the path to the Manang passes through a pleasant pine forest that opens up into Ghyaru. Here, the views of the Annapurna II, IV, and III appear spectacular. Without spending much time here, you will continue towards the Ngawal that shows up the way to a wonderful viewpoint overlooking the views of the beautiful farm fields in Ghyaru and a big Stupa. Ngawal is adorned with several Chortens (little Buddhist Shrines) and Mani Walls that impels a Buddhist vibe. Down through the pleasant pine forest, walk to the Braka (Braga), a nice and pleasant village offering wonderful side trips. Then, the trailheads to the classic and cultural village of Manang.

Manang is indeed a very gratifying destination. Here, the prayer flags adorn the front yard of the houses, and Chortens line up the streets. The houses are made up of stones to prevent the icy wind of the mountains from hitting the families. There are several monasteries to visit, but above all, the splendid panorama of the mountain peaks appears more appealing. Manang is simply earthly heaven for mountains and cultures lover. Plus, many side trips lead off from Manang. You may either hike to the Praken gompa, Gangapurna glacier, Bocho Gompa, or the Ice Lake. Hiking to some higher altitude regions also aids in acclimatization, so we will hike to one of these side trip destinations.

After staying two nights in Manang we are ready to head up to Shri Kharka. The first part of the trail goes straight ahead to Khangsar village which is the last permanent settlement in the Annapurna trail, and it is a nice place to view the closer mountain views of the Khangsar peak, Gangapurna, Pisang Peak and others more which you already have seen it. After the Khangsar trail goes slowly up to all the way to Shri Kharka, It is a very enjoyable trail because of the sunny part and the views of mountains, and the same time you might see some wild animals such as wild goats, mountain thar, wild cat and domesticated yak. After walking approx 5 hours reach Shi Kharka, situated in a nice location to mountains views, When you arrive Shrikharka then you can enjoy the site trip for the day, It is said that “Go high and Sleep law”. It helps you to get enough acclimatize to go high up to the mountains. And rest for the next day.

Today the walk is quite challenging because of the ruck falls areas. After walking 30 minutes we cross some rockfall areas where we need to pay attention to avoid the rock unto us. Anyway stay together with each other and keep on eyes up hillside time to times. After crossing the rockfall areas then you reach  Tilicho base camp. Have a rest with a hot drink and keep your body warm and rest for the next day.

we start our walk early in the morning to make sure to see sunrise views from the Tlicho lake. the first part of the trail goes to straight-ahead to a small river where there is a bridge, after crossing the bridge our walk goes slowly up to Tilicho Lake. Most of the trail is zigzag through some rockfall area, definitely, you will enjoy the views of the mountains from your hike up to the lake. It is very pleasant to walk because of the sunny part. After walking 2 hours then you reach the lake which is just the bottom of the Tilicho Peak surrounding by dry hill and peaks. It is the highest lake in the world and nice views from the lake of the Dhaulagiri, Tilicho peak, Khangsar Pear Annapurna II, III, Gangapurna, and Pisang peak. After enjoying your time in the lake then we slowly head down to Base camp and have lunch and head to the Shrikarka when we walk in Base camp. Rest for nest day.

After breakfast we head east to the Yak grazing place Yak Kharka. The first part of the tail is quite gradual and slowly up to some huts of the yak shelters which is a nice place to views Manang and All surrounded and already viewed mountains. after walking 1:30 then walk go slowly down to the river and cross the bridge and turn to the right after walking 45 minutes then you meet the main trekking trail of the Annapurna. Approx walking altogether 5 hours you reach Yak Kharka. Have lunch and rest day for the next day.

Leaving Yak Kharka (translates to the Yak pastures), the trail proceeds along the ascending track and crosses a suspension bridge across the river. Then, a wooden bridge drains the pathway to the slippery landslide area, which is indeed a dangerous pathway. Follow the signposts leading to the Thorong Phedi, but be careful of the falling stones. The final suspension bridge, leading to the Thorong Phedi, offers some of the spectacular views of the snowy peaks. For the day, rest in the Thorong Phedi.

Crossing the Thorong La Pass, the highest point of the Annapurna Circuit is probably the most demanding task of the overall trekking. Progressing too quickly can victimize you from the altitude-related complications. Therefore, walk slow and easy. The Mani walls are made even in the higher trekking zones and at Thorong La pass itself, you may see the stones wrapped by the prayer flags. These stones are kept to ward off the altitude spirits. Within a while, descend to the Muktinath Temple, to enjoy the incredible views of the 2 sacred lake, 108 stone taps, and classic architecture.

From Pokhara, Kathmandu is just 200 km away. But it takes about over 6 hours to reach there because of the filthy road conditions and unpredictable traffic jams. By the time you arrive at Kathmandu, you may go for shopping around the souvenir stalls or sightseeing around the UNESCO listed cultural heritage sites of Kathmandu.
