Annapurna Expedition

Upon your arrival at the International Airport in Kathmandu, our representatives will welcome and receive you at the Airport. From the Airport, you will be transferred to the hotel where you will be briefly informed about the itinerary. The rest of the time, you will be spending at the hotel.

The next day, you will be sightseeing around the Kathmandu Valley and also prepare for the expedition that will follow later in the coming days. You will visit the Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur and also visit the Stupas of Swyambhunath and Bouddhanath. The Hindu temple of Pashupatinath will be another site that you will be visiting on the second day in Kathmandu. All these sites have been enlisted in UNESCO's world heritage list. Meanwhile, ‘Tourist Link’ will get the permission required for the Annapurna expedition. In the evening, you will return back to the hotel.

On the third day, you will have breakfast at the hotel in the morning and drive to Beni from Kathmandu along the Prithvi Highway. First, you will reach the city of Pokhara in around 6 hours of drive from the Capital. From Pokhara, you will take another private car and drive to Beni, the headquarters of Myagdi district. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

Your official Annapurna expedition starts on the fourth morning as you take breakfast at the guesthouse in the morning and start your trek. A brief and comfortable walk from Beni for around 2-3 hours will take you to Tatopani where you can find a local hot water spring. Many trekkers will be seen taking dips in the hot water spring as it is believed that dipping in the hot water spring cures several skin diseases. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

The following day, you will trek for close to 5-6 hours walking along the trail and going past several local villages in the Annapurna region. Ghasa, the destination for the fifth day, is a small village in Annapurna. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

The destination for the 6th day is yet another small village of Lete. 3-4 hours of trek from Ghasa is enough to take you to Lete. The trail until now is even and smooth as you will fully enjoy the trekking. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

The trail now gets slowly difficult as you will climb up the altitude. Thulo Bugin has situated around 4000 meters altitude and you will have to hike carefully as the problem of high altitude sickness might arise causing problems for you. In this situation, you are advised to hike slowly drinking enough fluids.

The next day, you will cross the Thulo Bugin Pass located at an altitude of 4281 meters. You will get to see the panoramic view of the Annapurna mountain range while you cross the Bugin Pass. Crossing Bugin Pass is one of the highlights of the Annapurna expedition.

After crossing Thulo Bugin Pass, you will make your way toward Mristi Khola. You will have to walk for around 3-4 hours to reach Mristi Khola. By the end of the 9th day, you will have come very close to Annapurna Mountain and are almost ready to start the expedition.

On the tenth day of the trekking, you will finally reach Annapurna Base Camp. Annapurna Base Camp is situated at around 4800 meters altitude and upon reaching the Base Camp you will prepare for the expedition which will follow from the next day. You will have to make sure you have all the equipment necessary for the expedition. You will set up a tented camp at the Base Camp and spend the night there.

On the 11th day of the expedition, we will start our journey from the Base Camp. As we will have Sherpa guides, carriers, and other helpers, there is no need to worry and fear about climbing. Our team members will make sure that you will have no such difficulty in climbing Everest. It will nearly take 35 days to reach the summit of Annapurna from Base Camp and return. It will surely be one of your life moments when you reach the top of the peak and then return with all the memories of the trek.

After returning from the expedition, you will spend a day at the Base Camp cleaning up and disposing of waste materials safely. Keeping Base Camp clean is one of the important things you need to know and be careful about during any expedition in Nepal. You will spend overnight at a tented camp.

The next day onwards, your return journey from the Annapurna Base Camp begins as you hike down to Thulo Bugin from the Base Camp. The downward hiking will be much easier than climbing uphill. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

Continuing the return trail, you will further descend down from Thulo Bugin to Lete village on the 49th day. It will take around four hours to reach Lete.

On the 50th day, you will arrive at the popular village of Tukuche. You will be staying overnight at a guesthouse there.

The next day, you will first trek to Marpha and then to Jomsom. Marpha is popular for the local apples and the brandy made after fermenting the apples. From Marpha, you will walk for a few more hours and finally arrive at Jomsom. Overnight stay at a guesthouse in Jomsom.

The next day, you will catch a flight to Pokhara from Jomsom. In about 30 minutes, you will land at Pokhara from Jomsom, enjoying the scenic mountain flight. From Pokhara, you will again catch another flight to the capital city of Kathmandu. You will then be transferred to the hotel in Kathmandu where you will stay for the night.

On the 53rd day of the itinerary, and after completion of the Annapurna Expedition, you will be transferred to the Airport from the hotel. You can then catch a flight back to your country or to your preferred destination ahead.
