Arrive in Nepal’s capital and transfer to your hotel. The day is kept light so you can rest, hydrate, and settle in smoothly after travel.
If you arrive early, a gentle walk and a relaxed dinner is a great way to ease into Kathmandu’s atmosphere.

A flexible day for preparation and orientation. This is the best time for a trek briefing, final gear check, and making sure everything is set for the hills.
If you want, you can also add optional sightseeing and still keep the day comfortable and unhurried.

Fly to Pokhara and settle into Nepal’s most relaxed mountain gateway. The change of pace is immediate - lakeside calm, great food, and a softer, holiday-like mood.
Depending on your arrival time, you can enjoy a short lakeside walk, café time, or simply rest well before trekking begins.

Drive to Dhampus and begin your trek on classic Annapurna foothill trails through terraced farmland and small settlements. The route feels lived-in and local, with village life happening all around you.
Landruk is a charming village to arrive in, and you stay in a carefully selected local teahouse lodge for a cozy first night on the trail.

Today you continue deeper into the foothills toward Chhomrong, a well-known village on the Annapurna Sanctuary approach. The trail is varied, often mixing hillside walking with stone steps and changing viewpoints as the valleys open and close.
You settle into a good-quality local teahouse lodge, enjoy a hearty meal, and feel the mountain air become cooler as you gain altitude.

You leave the Chhomrong area and trek toward Ghandruk, transitioning into the heart of Gurung village country. The day has a nice rhythm, moving through a mix of forest paths, terraced hillsides, and traditional settlements.
Ghandruk is a beautiful place to end the trekking portion - stone lanes, mountain culture, and a comfortable teahouse stay that we select for the best available standards.

After a relaxed morning in Ghandruk, you drive back to Pokhara. Returning to lakeside comfort feels like a reward after the village trekking days.
Enjoy a slow afternoon - a proper shower, good food, and an evening stroll by Phewa Lake if you feel like it.

A full free day in Pokhara to relax and enjoy the destination properly. You can keep it simple with lakeside time and cafés, or add optional light activities depending on your mood.
This day also makes the trip feel unhurried and gives you time to properly decompress after trekking.

Fly back to Kathmandu and transfer to your hotel. The rest of the day is free for souvenir shopping, a final cultural walk, or a relaxed farewell meal.
It is a comfortable transition day that keeps the end of the trip smooth.

Transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) for your onward flight.
