After breakfast, you'll be transferred to the start of your walk near Shyauli bazaar (approx. 2hrs). From here you begin your walk to Landruk (1,730m high) through the forest trails where you can see the spectacular Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Fishtail mountains. Overnight Landruk.
Today's trail descends, crossing the Modi river before stopping in Samrung village for lunch. Continue on to Jhinu Danda where you can visit the natural hot springs. This traditional village sits at 1,780m high. Overnight Jhinu Danda.
Begin your walk by a small stream, climbing up a small stone staircase through the terrace fields. From the top of the ridge, you'll have great views of Jhinu Danda and Chhomrong villages. Continue through dense rhododendron forest until you reach the beautiful villag...
After breakfast, begin your walk to Tadapani at a much higher elevation of 2,630m. You will see beautiful rhododendron trees alongside the awe-inspiring Himalayas right in front of you. You may even see white monkeys running around the trees as you follow your guide along the trail. Overnight Tadapani.
Spend the day resting your feet in the village of Tadapani. Literally translating to 'Far Water', Tadapani's name derives from a time when their water source was such a long distance from the village - this isn't the case anymore! Overnight Tadapani.
Today's trail climbs up many stairs amidst the lustrous rhododendron forests. Pass rushing waterfalls and imposing trees as you meander towards Ghorepani. Overnight Ghorepani.
Take a rest day or enjoy the incredible sunrise from Poon Hill, a fantastic vantage point to witness the breath-taking mountains, especially Annapurna South, Fishtail and Dhaulagiri (approx. 1hr) - you have to do this at least once in your life, right? Overnight Ghorepani.
Leave the beautiful village of Ghorepani behind as you head towards Ulleri. The sound of flowing streams, birds chirping, bright rhododendron flowers, and of course, the striking mountain views accompany you along the path to Ulleri. Overnight Ulleri/Hille.
Enjoy a short walk, mostly downhill with some stairs before meeting your transfer back to Pokhara (approx. 2hrs). Spend your afternoon and evening soaking up the atmosphere in Pokhara. Overnight Pokhara.
Wave goodbye to the beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara as you're transferred to the airport for your flight to Kathmandu. Enjoy your last night in this fascinating city, reliving the unforgettable memories of your Annapurna Foothills adventure. Overnight Kathmandu.
You'll be transferred back to Kathmandu airport for your onward arrangements. If opting for our Chitwan National Park extension, we'll arrange your flight from Kathmandu to Bharatpur to begin your once in a lifetime jungle experience!
