Arrive into Kathmandu and transfer to your hotel. Spend the afternoon at leisure, getting acclimatised or you might want to take a walk
Today is the day to explore Kathmandu. You will be met by your private guide and taken on a walking tour of the narrow alleyways and bustling markets around Kathmandu Durbar Square. Head off to Swayambunath Temple, otherwise known as the Monkey Temple where the views back over Kathmandu are stunning. Continue for lunch at the amazing Kaiser Cafe before heading off to see Pashupatinath and Boudnath Stupa. We can tailor the day totally around your interests.
Today, fly to Pokhara where you will met by your sherpa team who will transfer you to the Annapurna Region, a drive of about one hour. From the roadhead at Lumle, you will start your trek to Birethanti which follows the ridgeline so is fairly flat before dropping down to the Modi River where Sanctuary Lodge is located.
After breakfast, you set off along the Modi Valley and up the ridge towards Ghandruk. It’s pretty steep at times, but there are countless places to stop and have a drink where you can sit back and just look up at the impressive snow-capped mountains above you. It takes about 5 hours of walking. Spend the afternoon heading off on a day-walk or just enjoying the view.
Today set off down the valley below Ghandruk and down to the Modi River. It is here that the famous honey-hunters of Nepal dangle from the cliffs collecting honey. You then cross the river and trek up the other side towards Lhandruk.
Set off towards Majgaun passing through traditional villages and farmland, mainly staying on the ridge-line so its fairly flat. You’ll arrive by lunch so you can then head off on a further day-walk in the surrounding villages.
Set off uphill through sub-tropical forests containing orchids, rhododendrons and magnolias before gradually working your way down to the village of Dhampus.
It’s just a short walk (all downhill) to the road which takes about 45 minutes, passing through dramatic terraced rice fields. Your driver will be waiting for you, and you will be driven back to Pokhara stopping at the Tibetan Monastery and Gurkha Museum en route if you want. Spend the afternoon with your feet up.
You have earned a well deserved rest, and Pokhara is ideal for a day just relaxing. Maybe head down to lakeside to sit in one of the many restaurants that open out onto Phewa Lake. If you feel active, then you can even try paragliding to make the most of the views.
Fly back to Kathmandu and head out on the ridge of the Kathmandu Valley in the small town of Dhulikhel which offer dramatic views over the Himalaya skyline.
Dust off your trekking boots and travel to one the most untouched and beautiful corners of the Himalayas in Bhutan, trekking through remote villages, off-the-beaten-track.
