Kathmandu to Poon Hill The bustling city of Kathmandu is the gateway to the Himalaya for all trekking in Nepal. You’ll have a day here to explore and visit some of the celebrated temples before driving west. After a night in the isolated village of Bandipur you’ll set off on your trekking adventure, gradually ascending to reach Ghorepani and the chance to take in the classic Himalaya sunrise view from Poon Hill. The Sanctuary & Pokhara Staying in teahouses en route, you continue trekking through small settlements and farmland to reach the landscapes of rock and ice beyond. You’ll spend a night each at Machhapuchare Base Camp 3700m and Annapurna Base Camp 4130m, surrounded by some of the most awe-inspiring mountain scenery on earth, before descending to the lakeside town of Pokhara. The real domestic goddess Annapurna is the Hindu goddess of food and cooking. She is empowered with the ability to provide an unlimited supply of food. Let’s hope she is present on your trek! Responsible Travel We work hand in hand with a local Nepalese owned agency to both operate this trip and support projects aimed at giving something back to the local communities through which we travel. |
