On arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be welcomed by our airport team and transferred to your hotel. After check-in, take time to rest from your journey.

In the afternoon, finalize trek preparations, check equipment, adjust backpacks, and complete permit formalities. A final briefing ensures everyone is fully prepared.

Take an early morning scenic flight to Pokhara with panoramic views of the Himalayan range. After a short drive to Kade, begin the trek with a steady uphill walk through terraced farmlands, local villages, and lush forests. The trail gradually ascends to Pitam Deurali, offering fresh mountain air and peaceful surroundings.

Today’s trek takes you deeper into the forest zone. The trail passes through dense rhododendron, oak, and bamboo forests, gradually gaining altitude. The route is quiet and less crowded, making it ideal for acclimatization. Arrive at Low Camp in the afternoon and enjoy the serene mountain environment.

The landscape changes dramatically as you trek above the tree line. The trail follows open ridges with stunning panoramic views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Mardi Himal. Reach High Camp early to allow proper acclimatization and enjoy unforgettable sunset and star-filled skies.

We start early in the morning about 5am from High camp towards to the view point. It’s a bit strenuous walk to the view point about 2.5hrs walk. From view point you will have superb sunrise and mountain views towards Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Fishtail etc. From view to Mardi base camp walk is about 1.5hrs on a ridge., its a bit challenging if the path is snowy, otherwise you must trek up to the View Point for sure. After spending time at Base Camp, descend carefully back to High Camp for lunch and continue down to Low Camp for overnight.

The trail descends through forests, waterfalls, and terraced fields to the traditional Gurung village of Sidhing. Experience authentic rural mountain life and local culture. From Sidhing, drive back to Pokhara and check into your hotel. Enjoy a relaxing evening by Phewa Lake.
