After arriving, a representative of Ama Adventure will come to the airport to pick you up. Furthermore, check in to a hotel and explore near your area.

We catch an early morning flight bound for Pokhara, a picturesque lakeside city boasting awe-inspiring views of the Himalayas from the right side of the plane. Upon arrival at Pokhara airport, we commence a pleasant two-hour drive to Kimche, marking the starting point of our trek. Our journey from Kimche takes us to Ghandruk, a delightful village predominantly inhabited by the Gurung community. If time permits, a visit to the Gurung museum is on the agenda before we retire for the night in Ghandruk.

At this point, we ascend for approximately an hour until we reach Kimrungdanda. Along the way, we’re treated to stunning vistas of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, the Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre), and Ganggapurna. Following a steep descent to the Kimrong Khola, we ascend sharply from there to Chere Danda. After a brief descent, the path becomes more gradual, leading us to Chhomrong—a picturesque village nestled beneath the towering Annapurna massif. We’ll spend the night in Chhomrong.

We make our way down using a staircase of 2500 stone steps and cross over the bridge above Chhomrong Khola. This leads us to an uphill trek towards Sinuwa. Continuing through a stunning forest, we reach Kuldihar and then proceed with a gentle descent to Bamboo. We’ll spend the night in Bamboo.

Today’s trek involves a gentle ascent through a riverbed, followed by a steep trail along the mountainside. The hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp demands some effort. Once at Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the sight of the majestic Machhapuchhre, alongside Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna, rewards us richly. Vegetation gradually fades as we progress towards ABC, and the path widens as we step into the Annapurna sanctuary. Here, we’re treated to breathtaking views of Annapurna’s nearly vertical south face towering above. The sanctuary offers an unobstructed 360-degree panorama, showcasing the dynamic beauty of the surroundings. Returning to the base camp, we once again indulge in mesmerizing views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and other neighboring peaks. We’ll spend the night at Annapurna Base Camp.

We follow our previous path from Annapurna Base Camp back to Bamboo. Today’s trek involves descending, which should be relatively easy. Plus, the stunning landscape will keep us company, providing constant cheer along the way. We’ll spend the night in Bamboo.

Returning from Annapurna Base Camp, we’ll retrace our steps to Bamboo. With much of today’s path sloping downward, it promises to be a fairly straightforward trek. The enchanting scenery enveloping us will surely keep our morale high as we make our way. We’ll spend the night in Bamboo.

On our way to Pokhara from Mathque, we get to enjoy the amazing hilly landscapes of western Nepal. We’ll have lunch on the way. Our trek will end at Mathque, where we board our private vehicle to Pokhara. Overnight in Pokhara.

We fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu in the afternoon. After arriving in Kathmandu, we will check in at our hotel. We enjoy the remaining day in leisure or catch up on some last-minute shopping or explore any landmarks we missed during our first day in Kathmandu. To celebrate the successful completion of our journey, we will have a farewell dinner in the evening. Overnight in Kathmandu.

Our journey in Nepal comes to an end today! Our representative will drop you off at the airport approximately 3 hours before your scheduled departure flight.
