To start off your trekking journey, our team in Kathmandu will assist in transferring your luggage to the airport for your domestic flight to Pokhara. Upon arrival in Pokhara, our representatives will be waiting to drive you to your hotel. You'll have the rest of the day to enjoy Pokhara at your leisure, whether it's exploring the city, taking leisurely strolls, or simply relaxing at your hotel to prepare for the adventures awaiting you the next day.
Note: KTM to PKR (35 min flight)
From Pokhara, we continue our journey by road, accompanied by guide(s) and porter(s), to the starting point of our trek at Kande. From there, we trek for approximately 5 to 6 hours to reach Pitam Deurali. The trek from Kande to Pitam Deurali takes us through forested areas dominated by Pine Trees and other vegetations, with a gradual ascent along the way. We'll check into one of the tea houses for the night, where we can rest and recharge for the journey ahead.
Note: Kande (2706 m), Pitam Deurali (2142 m) – Time taken: 6 hrs.
After breakfast, our journey takes us through the forested area. The tranquil ambiance of the surroundings adds to the charm to the journey. The forest trail is adorned with lush greenery, providing a picturesque backdrop to our trekking experience. The route typically spans around 4 to 5 hours, leading us to the forest camp, locally known as Kokar, where we'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna. We'll spend the night at the tea house, resting for the days ahead.
Note: Forest Camp (2600 m) – Time taken: 5 hrs
After breakfast, we set out on our trek towards the high camp, where we begin to experience the higher elevations of our journey. En route, we bid farewell to Manjh Danda near the low camp and transition to Nangge Danda from Badal Dabda. The views from Badal Danda are majestic, offering a sense of being elevated above the mountains themselves. As we trek, Machapuchhre Himal (Mount Fishtail) draws nearer which brings our day's trek to conclude as we reach the high camp where we'll settle in for the night.
Note: Badal Danda (3250 m), High Camp (3550 m) – Time taken: 6 – 7 hrs.
After breakfast, we will set out for a challenging but awarding day ahead. Our path to the Mardi Base Camp will lead us along steep trails as we ascend to higher elevations. Upon reaching our destination, we will be rewarded with a majestic and close-up view of the Mardi Himal, as well as breathtaking vistas of the Machhapuchhre Himal and the Annapurna ranges. Take your time to soak in the awe-inspiring scenery before we begin our descent back to Low Camp.
Note: Mardi Base Camp (4500 m), Low Camp (3050 m) – Time taken: 7-8 hrs.
After breakfast, we will be trekking down toward the siding village while enjoying scenic views of valleys and forests. We'll pass through villages and admire terraced fields. Upon reaching Siding, we'll have the option to explore and experience traditional village lifestyle. We'll spend the night here, allowing us to rest and unwind after our trekking journey.
At morning after breakfast, we will walk towards the nearest bus stop where our private vehicle will be waiting to drop us off at our hotel back in Pokhara. It will be a 4 hours’ drive from Siding. It’s a leisure day so you could choose to rest at the hotel or explore the vibrant lakeside town at your pace. We will conclude our day here.
Our staff will assist you with your luggage and transfer you to the airport for your scheduled flight back. After landing, we will transfer you to your hotel where you can rest until your scheduled international flight.
