Drive from Pokhara (823 m) to Nayapul and Trek to Ulleri (2050 m): (5-6 Hrs.)

Nayapul Trekking Starting Point - The journey begins in Pokhara with a one-hour drive to Nayapul. The trek takes you through lush sub-tropical valley forests, crossing the Bhurungdi Khola (river) via a bridge to reach the village of Tikhedhunga. The ascent to Ulleri Hill, with its numerous steps and boulders, is a true test of endurance. Overnight stay in Ulleri.

Trek from Ulleri to Ghorepani (2,750 m): (4-5 Hrs.)

Annapurna Mountain Range - After breakfast, the trek continues with an ascent to the village of Ghorepani. This charming village features small shops and stalls offering local products and crafts. Ghorepani is divided into two parts: one located on a saddle and the other a few hundred feet lower. The higher section of Ghorepani provides breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, including Annapurna South and Nilgiri. As Ghorepani is situated at a higher altitude than the previous stop, the evenings can be quite chilly. Overnight stay in Ghorepani.

Poon Hill Hike and Trek from Ghorepani to Tadapani (2,700 m): (5-6 Hrs.)

Annapurna Mountain Range - Poon Hill is renowned for its stunning sunrise views over the Himalayas. To seize this opportunity, an early morning climb along the steep trail to Poon Hill (3,210m) is undertaken. This popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region offers spectacular views of Mustang, Pokhara, and over 20 of the highest mountains, including close-up views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. After capturing photographs and enjoying some coffee or tea, the trek continues to Tadapani via Ghorepani. The descent passes through rhododendron forests and alongside breathtaking waterfalls, eventually reaching Tadapani.

Trek from Tadapani to Kimche via Ghandruk (1940 m): (4-5 Hrs.) and Drive to Pokhara (823 m)

Old Gurung Museum - From Tadapani, the trek involves a steep descent through dense, dark forests filled with ancient rhododendron trees. When in bloom, these forests transform into stunning gardens. Depending on the season, cherry blossoms may also be visible on the slopes across the ravine. After a short trek, the village of Ghandruk is reached, a charming settlement with stone houses predominantly inhabited by the Gurung community. Here, visitors can enjoy close-up views of the Fishtail, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli mountains, and explore the rich cultural traditions of the Gurung people at the Gurung Museum in Ghandruk.

After lunch in Ghandruk, the trek descends for an hour to Kimche, where a Jeep awaits to transport travelers back to Pokhara.
