Annapurna Panorama Trek-8 Days

Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,335m / 4,380 ft)

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, an Adventure Aspirant representative will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Thamel, the vibrant tourist district of Kathmandu. After check-in, you'll receive a briefing about your upcoming adventure. The rest of the day is yours to relax or explore the surrounding area at your own pace. For those not too tired from the flight, nearby cultural landmarks and local shops are within easy walking distance.

Day 02: Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara (822m / 2,697 ft)

After an early breakfast, you’ll embark on a scenic drive to Pokhara via the Prithvi and Pushpalal Highways. The journey offers incredible views of Nepal’s rural countryside—terraced hills, forested valleys, meandering rivers like the Trishuli, and traditional hillside villages. Upon arrival in Pokhara, check into your hotel near the picturesque Fewa Lake. In the evening, you may relax by the lake, enjoy a boat ride, or explore the charming cafés and shops of this lakeside city.

Day 03: Drive to Birethanti, Trek to Ulleri (1,030m / 3,379 ft)

Today begins with a short drive to Birethanti, the gateway to the Annapurna Panorama Trek, via Lumle and Nayapul. From here, your trek officially starts, passing through forests, waterfalls, and streams perfect for quick dips. The trail continues past Ramghai and onward to Tikhedhunga, before a challenging ascent of 3,300 stone steps brings you to Ulleri, a beautiful hilltop village.

Day 04: Trek from Ulleri to Ghorepani (2,880m / 9,449 ft)

Begin your day in the lush Magar village of Ulleri, surrounded by meadows and hills. The path ascends through dense rhododendron and oak forests to Nangethanti, where you’ll break for lunch. Afterward, continue to Ghorepani, once a major stop for traders traveling with horses. The name "Ghorepani" translates to “water for horses,” a nod to its historic role as a rest point.

Day 05: Sunrise Hike to Poon Hill, Trek to Tadapani (2,630m / 8,629 ft)

Before dawn, set out for Poon Hill, one of Nepal’s best-known viewpoints. Witness the sunrise lighting up the Himalayas, with sweeping views of Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Nilgiri. After soaking in the views, return to Ghorepani for breakfast, then continue through rhododendron forests along ridgelines to reach Tadapani.

Day 06: Trek to Ghandruk, Drive to Pokhara (1,940m / 6,365 ft)

Start your morning with views of Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Annapurna South glowing in the early sun. The trek down to Ghandruk takes you through forests and terraced farmlands. After lunch in this charming Gurung village, you'll drive back to Pokhara where you can unwind by the lakeside or enjoy some evening leisure time.

Day 07: Return Drive to Kathmandu (1,335m / 4,380 ft)

Following breakfast, return to Kathmandu via tourist bus. The drive takes you along river valleys, forested hillsides, and scattered settlements, with plenty of scenic beauty to enjoy en route.

After breakfast, an Adventure Aspirant team member will transfer you to Tribhuvan International Airport approximately three hours before your scheduled departure.
