Overview
Itinerary
Arrival in Kathmandu & Transfer to Pokhara
Arrive at Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). Meet your representative and transfer to Pokhara by scenic drive (approx 6–7 hours) or a short domestic flight (30 minutes) depending on your preference. Check into your hotel and enjoy an evening by Phewa Lake — explore lakeside cafes and the relaxed riverside promenade. If arriving early, you can opt for a short city transfer to the World Peace Pagoda for sunset views.
Drive to Nayapul & Trek to Ulleri
After breakfast, drive to Nayapul (approx 1.5 hours) — the trek starting point. Begin a pleasant trek through terraced fields and subtropical forests to Ulleri (approx 4–5 hours). This ascent includes the famous stone stairways that climb through villages and offer early views of the Annapurna foothills. Evening at leisure in the teahouse village.
Ulleri to Ghorepani
Trek from Ulleri to Ghorepani (approx 5–6 hours). The route gains altitude gradually with forested paths, rhododendron slopes (blooming season late March–May), and occasional mountain glimpses. Arrive in Ghorepani, check in, and prepare for an early start the next day for Poon Hill. Stay hydrated and carry light layers—weather can change quickly.
Poon Hill Sunrise & Trek to Ghandruk
Pre-dawn hike to Poon Hill (approx 20–40 minutes) for a legendary sunrise over Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I & South, Machapuchare and other peaks. After sunrise, return to Ghorepani for breakfast and descend through scenic trails toward Ghandruk (approx 5–6 hours). Explore Ghandruk, a traditional Gurung village with stone houses and cultural homestay options. Photographers: carry extra batteries and a good wide-angle lens for the sunrise panorama.
Ghandruk to Nayapul & Drive to Pokhara — Relaxation Day
After a relaxed breakfast, trek down from Ghandruk to Nayapul (approx 3–4 hours) passing through rice terraces and small settlements. From Nayapul, drive back to Pokhara (approx 1.5 hours). Afternoon and evening are for lakeside relaxation — optional boat ride on Phewa Lake, visit the lakeside market, or enjoy a spa. This day is scheduled for rest after the trek; ideal for massage and sunset boat cruises.
Departure: Transfer to Kathmandu or Airport
After breakfast, transfer to Pokhara domestic airport for a flight to Kathmandu (approx 25–30 minutes) or drive back to Kathmandu (6–7 hours) based on your choice and schedule. If heading to the international airport for departure, ensure you arrive with adequate time for international check-in. If your international flight is late in the day, enjoy a final morning walk by the lake or quick souvenir shopping.
