Deluxe Nepal Heritage & Annapurna Base Camp Journey

Welcome to Nepal!

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our Travories representative will be waiting to welcome you all.

After completing immigration and collecting the luggage, guests will be transferred comfortably by private vehicle to their hotel in Kathmandu.

After hotel check-in, the remainder of the day will be free to relax after the international flight. Depending on arrival time, guests can also take a gentle evening walk around the nearby streets and begin experiencing Kathmandu.

After breakfast, we begin a full-day private sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's cultural and spiritual landmarks.

Our first destination is Swayambhunath Stupa, situated on a hill overlooking Kathmandu Valley. Often known as the Monkey Temple, this ancient Buddhist site provides beautiful panoramic views across the city.

We then continue to Kathmandu Durbar Square, where traditional Newari architecture, ancient temples, courtyards and former royal palaces reveal centuries of Nepalese history.

The afternoon takes us to Pashupatinath Temple, one of Nepal's most sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites, situated along the banks of the Bagmati River.

Our final visit is Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most important centres of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. Guests can walk around the enormous white stupa, observe monks and pilgrims, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere surrounding Boudhanath.

After sightseeing, our private vehicle will transfer the group back to the hotel.

After an early breakfast, our team will transfer the group to the tourist bus departure point.

We then leave Kathmandu aboard a comfortable VIP tourist bus for Pokhara, travelling through Nepal's beautiful countryside, river valleys, terraced hills and small settlements.

Upon arrival in Pokhara, our representative will transfer the group to the hotel.

The evening is free to relax and explore the beautiful Lakeside area of Pokhara.

After breakfast, we leave Pokhara behind and travel into the Annapurna foothills by private jeep.

The landscape gradually changes from the city to rural Nepal, with terraced farmland, mountain roads, forests and traditional villages appearing along the journey.

We eventually reach Ghandruk, one of the most beautiful Gurung villages in the Annapurna region.

After checking into our accommodation and resting, we will spend time exploring the village. Guests will have an opportunity to discover Gurung traditions, architecture, culture and everyday mountain life.

On a clear day, Ghandruk offers spectacular views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).

This relatively relaxed day is also helpful before beginning the main trek.

Today our Annapurna Base Camp trek officially begins.

After breakfast, we leave the stone-paved streets of Ghandruk and follow the mountain trail toward Kimrong Khola.

The trail passes through forests, terraced hillsides, suspension bridges and small settlements before eventually climbing toward Chhomrong.

Chhomrong is one of the most important villages along the Annapurna Sanctuary route and provides spectacular views toward Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre.

We settle into our teahouse for the evening and enjoy dinner surrounded by the mountains.

After breakfast, we descend from Chhomrong, cross the river and begin climbing toward Sinuwa.

From here the landscape becomes increasingly wild as we enter beautiful bamboo and rhododendron forests.

We continue through Bamboo and Dovan, following the Modi Khola valley deeper into the Annapurna Sanctuary.

By afternoon, we arrive at Himalaya, where we spend the night.

The temperature begins to become noticeably cooler as we gain altitude, and our guide will closely monitor the group throughout the journey.

Today is one of the most exciting days of the entire journey.

After breakfast at Himalaya, we continue ascending toward Deurali as the dense forest gradually gives way to a dramatic high-altitude Himalayan landscape.

From Deurali, we continue toward Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC).

We will stop around MBC for lunch while enjoying increasingly impressive mountain views.

After lunch, we make the final climb into the magnificent Annapurna Sanctuary.

Eventually, prayer flags and the iconic Annapurna Base Camp sign appear ahead of us.

We have reached Annapurna Base Camp — 4,130 metres above sea level.

Surrounded by enormous Himalayan peaks, the feeling of standing inside this natural mountain amphitheatre is unforgettable.

We wake early for one of the most memorable moments of the journey.

As morning light enters the Annapurna Sanctuary, the surrounding mountains gradually illuminate around us.

From Annapurna Base Camp, guests can experience an extraordinary 360-degree Himalayan panorama, surrounded by some of the most spectacular peaks of the Annapurna massif.

There will be time for photographs and to simply enjoy this remarkable location before breakfast.

We then say goodbye to Annapurna Base Camp and begin our descent.

Passing once again through Machhapuchhre Base Camp, Deurali, Himalaya and Dovan, we eventually arrive at Bamboo, where we spend the night.

After breakfast, we continue descending through the forest toward Sinuwa before returning to Chhomrong.

From Chhomrong, the trail continues downhill toward Jhinu Danda.

After checking into our lodge and resting, guests can visit the famous natural hot springs near Jhinu.

After several days of Himalayan trekking, soaking in the warm natural water beside the river is a wonderful way to relax tired muscles.

We return to our lodge afterward for our final evening in the trekking region.

After breakfast, we leave the Annapurna trekking region.

From the accessible roadhead near Jhinu, our private jeep will take the group back toward Pokhara.

After several adventurous days in the mountains, arriving back in Pokhara brings us once again to comfortable hotel accommodation, hot showers and the relaxed atmosphere of Lakeside.

The remainder of the evening is free.

Today is intentionally kept completely relaxed.

After completing the Annapurna Base Camp trek, guests deserve a full day to recover and enjoy Pokhara at their own pace.

Sleep in, walk beside Phewa Lake, visit cafés, enjoy a massage, shop for souvenirs or simply relax at the hotel.

Optional sightseeing or activities can also be arranged for guests who would like to explore more of Pokhara.

There is no fixed schedule today — this is your day to enjoy Nepal's beautiful lakeside city.

After breakfast, we begin our journey back to Kathmandu.

Upon arrival, our team will transfer the group directly to the hotel where guests can relax and freshen up.

In the evening, the Travories team will host a special farewell dinner at a traditional Nepali restaurant.

Along with authentic Nepali cuisine, guests will enjoy a traditional cultural performance, making this a memorable final evening after completing the Annapurna Base Camp adventure together.

It is our way of celebrating the journey and saying thank you for exploring Nepal with us.

After breakfast, guests will have free time depending on their international flight departure schedule.

At the appropriate time, our team will arrive at the hotel and provide a private transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport.

After 13 incredible days of culture, mountains, villages and unforgettable experiences, it is time to say goodbye to Nepal.
