Itinerary
Day 1: Kathmandu
Day 2: Kathmandu
Opt to wake up with the birds and climb to the Swayambhunath Temple. Enjoy free time in the afternoon in Kathmandu.
Day 3: Kathmandu/Pokhara
Leaving the Kathmandu valley behind, head for the enchanting Nepalese town of Pokhara. Depending on our arrival time, there may be time to hire a small boat for a quick paddle on the lake for sunset.
Day 4: Pokhara/Tikhedhunga
At 8,091m (26,545.3 ft), Annapurna 1 is one of the highest mountains in the world. Its surrounding sister mountains are equally imposing and create magnificent panoramas from any view point. This trek covers a wide variety of terrain, from lowland pastures and peaceful villages to powerful glaciers and stunning mountain views. In the rugged mountain scenery, we stay in mountain communities and meet friendly Nepali hill people as they go about their daily lives. The expedition is not only visually superb, but also a chance to learn about local cultures. Along the way, see thundering waterfalls of melted snow, cross icy rivers and high mountain passes, and reward ourselves with a soak in natural hot springs.
While the trekking is challenging, averaging 4-6 hrs walking a day on steep terrain, our Annapurna Sanctuary expedition into the Himalayas allows you to experience 'the roof of the world' without major issues associated with high altitude. The highest point on the trek is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130m (13,550 ft).
Day 5: Tikhedhunga/Ghorepani

I loved my trip and would highly recommend it. It was not a 10 because I was very happy with the group size but I'm not sure how a big group (>8) would be to travel with.

The people involved in leading the group were excellent from start to finish. Our CEO, the guides and our porters all made this a special experience.

I enjoyed the adventure and the active nature of the travel. G Adventures made it easy to plan for a successful trip and took care of everything while I was on the trip. I would not have been able to make this trip alone, and G Adventures made me feel comfortable.

Our CEO Ashok and all the assistant guides, Roshan and Rohit were amazing and supportive, happy and joyful and the porters were all exceptional and our travelling companions bonded like long time friends!

Because the assistant guides, CEO and shirpas were absolutely amazing. They organised everything to perfection - all I had to think about was enjoying the journey. Not only did they organise everything, they became friends whilst keeping it professional. The people and the scenery made the experience of a lifetime.

The trip felt very 'local' I like the small group (would have preferred it was 10-12 people max, not 15) the guide was very knowledgeable and positive I had a good impression of G Adventures commitment to the locals from the guides', story of how G Adventures supported them during the nepal earthquake and during the pandemic
11/26/2023
Everything is always very well organised which makes it very easy to trust that everything is being taken care of and relax and enjoy the trip.
