Our trekking guide will come to the hotel in the

transport. We’ll drive to Pokhara (200 km) which

will take us about 6 to 7 hours on a very scenic

route. Along the journey you will witness some

stunning scenery of snow capped mountains,

green hills, rivers in rafting, and villages. Pokhara

is a beautiful valley with panoramic views of

Annapurna, Machapuchare (shape of fish tail),

Dhaulagiri, Lamjung Himal and Manaslu. The

town of Pokhara is set on the banks of the

Phewa Lake. It is smaller and much less hectic

than Kathmandu providing the perfect starting

point for our trek. Stay overnight at a hotel.

Day 02: Fly Pokhara to Jomsom (2713m) -25 minutes; Trek Jomsom to Kagbeni (2897m) -3 to 4 hours

Early in the morning we will fly to Jomsom. The flight is 25 minutes on a scenic flight view of Spectaculars Mountains.

We start the first day trekking from Jomsom (2713m) to Kagbeni (2897m) after breakfast. The trail follows the wide

valley of the Kali Gandaki. Here the wind generally picks up after about midday but will at least be blowing at our

backs as you head up to ancient village Kagbeni in the morning time. The rest of the day we will explore around the

village, people, and culture.

Day 03: Trek Kagbeni to Muktinath (38000m) -4 to 5 hours

After breakfast the trail ascends for couple hundred of meters. Gradually walking you can enjoy the beautiful

deserted landscape - caves, old Tibetan style villages, apple garden, yaks herds, and sheep herds and so on. Far ahead

us we can look at the Thorong La valley straight up to Muktinath. We can visit Jharkot, the ancient Tibetan style

village, and its fort and monastery built in the 15th century. Now you head upwards following steep path for half an

hour towards Muktinath (3800m). This is an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Muktnith is

indeed a place of nirvana and home to Hindu temples as well as several Buddhist monasteries. The temples are

dedicated to Lord Vishnu and have 108 waterspouts around it from which holy water springs out. There is also the

Jwala Mai Temple which has an eternal flame fed by natural underground gas.

Day 04: Trek Muktinith via jhong to Kagbeni (2800m) -5 to 6 hours

livelihoods are similar to Tibetan people. We are still in a high alpine area with desert rocky hills and wide windy

Kaligandaki valley. Here we can find “Saligram” fossil, incarnation of God Vishnu. After 3 to 4 hours down walk we will


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



get to the village Kagbeni, whose inhabitants are a mix of Tibetans and Gurungs. This gets us to the rusticated upper

Mustang Trekking.

Day 05: Trek Kagbeni to Marpha (2670m) - 4 to 5 hours

Today is an easy day. The trail goes along the Valley of Kaligandaki River, which is all flat desert land. It is much better

to leave early morning in order to avoid to the strong wind which come after 10/ 11 am. We will continue to walk to

Jomson, the headquarter of the Mustang districts inhabited by traditional salt traders Thakali. We can get many

facilities here. The trail leads us through the Kali Gandaki valley to Marpha. Marpha is home to many apple orchids as

well as all the various food products which are made from the fruit. Apple brandy is a local specialty that you may be

lucky enough to taste en route.

Day 06: Marpha to Ghasa (2010m) - 5 to 6 hours

After breakfast, we trek further down the Kali Gandaki valley alongside the Kali Gandaki river to Ghasa. We will pass

the villages of Tukuche (2580m) and Larjung (2560m), then cross the the Kali Gandaki river by a high suspension bridge

and continue through an area covered with pine, juniper and cypress trees Towards the village of Kalopani (2530m)

we will have splendid views of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak, the three Nilgiris, Annapurna Fang and Annapurna I. Finally,

we get to Ghasa, our base for the night.

Day 07: Trek Ghasa to Tatopani (1190m) - 4 to 5 hours

Today our trek leads us through the world’s deepest gorge of Kali GandakI. Much of the way is cut through solid rock

and subject to frequent landslides. Before we reach the village of Dana (1450m) we pass the Rupse Chhahara

(‘beautiful waterfall’) then descend further down past several landslides we will reach Tatopani (hot spring), which is

situated on the riverbanks. Here we will stop to

make the most of a well earned hot bath.

Day 08: Trek Tatopani to Ghorepani (2834m) - 6

to 7 hours

After early breakfast we will ascend to

Ghorepani on one last swaying bridge over the

Kaligandaki river. The trail continue ascending to

Ghara (1780m) and then Shika (1935m),

inhabited by kind-hearted and honest Magars as

well as some Bramin and Chhetri. Here we can


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



see a British army training centre. The last part of

the trail today will have us climbing through

rhododendron and magnolia forests to

Ghorepani, where we will arrive mid-afternoon

with stunning Himalayan scenery.

Day 09: Hike up Ghorepani to Poon Hill (3210m)

- 45 minutes, to Tadapani (2520m) - 4 to 5 hours

We will hike about 45 minutes up to Poon Hill

(3210m) early in the morning. This viewpoint

the sunrise over the high Himalayas with

panoramic view giants Dhaulagiri (8,167m),

Annapurna (8,091m), Machhapuchere, Nilgiri,

Hiuchuli, South Annapurna etc. Additionally we can see a network of other peaks, slowly beginning to appear like

magic before our eyes. We come back to Ghorepani for a hot breakfast and start walking to Tadapani. Here the trail

climbs alongside ridges with pine and rhododendron forests to the Deurali and then descends through beautiful

waterfalls, streams, and dense forest to Banthati. The streams have some clear pools alongside the trail which finally

climbs up to the final destination Tadapani meaning ‘hot water.’ This is the water supply for a village far away.

Day 10: Tadapani to Ghaundrung (1950m) - 3 to 4 hours

Today is an easier day. After waking up late we will descend steeply through dense forests with breathtaking

panoramas to the Ghaundrung village of the Gurung people. If you wake up early enough in the morning you can catch

an excellent sunrise against the mountain faces from Tadapani. We will stay overnight here so you’ll have the

afternoon to visit the Annapurna conservation

office, museum and picturesque ancient Gurung

village, the second largest Gurung settlement in

Nepal.

Day 11: Trek Ghaundrung to Nayapul (1010m) -
