Day 1 — Welcome to Kathmandu (1,400m)
Touch down in Nepal's vibrant capital, where ancient temples meet bustling streets. Meet your trekking crew, prep your gear, and soak in the pre-trek excitement in Thamel before the Annapurna adventure begins.
Day 2 — Long Drive from Kathmandu to Dharapani (1,860m)
Wind through hills, terraced farmland, and riverside roads from Kathmandu to Dharapani. Watch the landscape shift from urban chaos to Himalayan wilderness as you enter the Annapurna Conservation Area.
Day 3 - Trek from Dharapani to Chame (2,610m)
Walk beneath towering pine and fir forests along the Marsyangdi River. Chame, the headquarters of Manang district, offers your first real glimpse of snow-capped giants ahead.
Day 4 - Trek from Chame to Upper Pisang (3,300m)
Pass the dramatic Paungda Danda rock face and enter drier, high-altitude terrain. Upper Pisang rewards you with sweeping views of Annapurna II and the Tibetan-influenced villages ahead.
Day 5 - Trek from Upper Pisang to Manang (3,540m)
Trek through juniper forests and remote settlements with jaw-dropping views of Annapurna and Gangapurna. Arrive in Manang, the last major village before the high pass.
Day 6 — Acclimatization Day in Manang (3,540m)
A crucial pause to let your body adapt to altitude. Hike up to Gangapurna Lake or the Praken Gompa viewpoint, and prepare for the days ahead in the thin mountain air.
Day 7 - Trek from Manang to Ledar (4,200m)
Leave the tree line behind as the trail climbs into stark alpine terrain. Ledar sits in a wide valley beneath the peaks, a quiet outpost before the final push to Thorong La.
Day 8 - Trek from Ledar to Thorong Phedi (4,925m)
A short but steep climb to base camp for tomorrow's pass crossing. Rest well — this is the last stop before conquering one of the highest trekking passes on Earth.
Day 9 — Crossing Thorong La Pass (5,416m)
Start before dawn to cross Thorong La, the highest point of the trek. Descend into Muktinath, a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists alike, and celebrate your triumph.
Day 10 - Drive from Muktinath to Pokhara (822m)
Drive through the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world's deepest, and trade high-altitude peaks for the lakeside calm of Pokhara. Time to relax and reflect on the journey.
Day 11 - Drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu (1,400m)
A scenic tourist bus ride returns you to the capital, passing rivers and hillside villages one last time. Enjoy a final evening celebrating the completed circuit.
