DAY 1 - Kathmandu to Pokhara
Kathmandu
Our adventure begins today as we meet amongst the charming chaos of Kathmandu. We'll bond with our new trekking crew as we make the drive up to Pokhara.
Pokhara
This beautiful lakeside settlement is framed by the spectacular Himalayas. We'll check into our hotel tonight ready for a day of trekking tomorrow.
DAY 2 - Pokhara to Dhampus Village via Phedi
Pokhara
After an included breakfast this morning - and we'll need all the fuel we can get -we'll drive our van up to Phedi.
Phedi
We'll start our trek from Phedi, where steep stone staircases snake their way up the rhododendron hillsides. We'll start our steep ascent, reaching lower Dhampus in 1 to 2 hours.
Dhampus
Gently climbing up again past the terraced fields and small houses and rhododendrons, we'll reach our lodge, admiring the spectacular Annapurna Range and Machhapuchhre (fishtail) in the distance. After an included dinner we'll turn in for the night.
DAY 3 - Dhampus Village to Australian Camp
Dhampus
Sip your tea this morning with your breakfast as you watch the sun illuminate the mountains ahead. A short trek today brings us to our lunch stop, after which we'll climb up through the beautiful oak forests, reaching Pothana. We'll stop here for a brief recharge before we climb the stone staircases up towards the Australian Camp.
Australian Camp
Enjoy the another magical sunset as it alights the Himalayas this evening.
DAY 4 - Australian Camp to Sarangkot
Australian Camp
After breakfast in Australian Camp this morning we'll resume our hike through the dense forests, on a slight descent towards Naudanda (Nine hill). After a stop for lunch we'll continue hike to Sarangkot. The trail here is fairly relaxed, as we ease along a ridge to a dense settlement with lots of mixed indigenous groups.
Sarangkot
Sarangkot offers spectacular mountain scenery of Mt. Dhaulagri, Annapurna, Machhapuchre, Nilgiri and more. As the night draws in, you can see lights illminating the beautiful Pokhara Valley below. We've seen plenty of spectacular views, but this might just be the best so far.
DAY 5 - Sarangkot to Pokhara
Sarangkot
After breakfast this morning we'll make our way to the legendary viewpoint at Sarangkot. Through terraced farms and villages we'll finally reach the summit, offering spectacular Himalayan panoramas that are simply unforgettable. This is what we came for, and it makes the hard work so worth it.
Pokhara
After posing for some photos we'll make the hike back to Pokhara. Upon arrival we'll have a free afternoon to chill by the lake and try the local foodie delights.
DAY 6 - Pokhara to Kathmandu
Pokhara
After a heavenly sleep and breakfast we'll make our way back to Kathmandu this morning.
Kathmandu
Our trip finishes back where we started. But those mountains, forests and streams will stick with us forever.
