Later, walk through the heart of the old city to Durbar Square, home to the palace of the Kumari Devi, considered to be a living goddess. Then enjoy a cooking demonstration and learn how to make Nepalese momos (dumplings). Afterwards, taste the delicious dishes made during an authentic local lunch

Day 3 Kathmandu/Pokhara

Today the group will take a mountain drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The drive takes about 7 hours along the Prithivi Highway, which connects Kathmandu with other major cities of Western Nepal. As the group approaches Pokhara they will be able to see truly stunning views of the Annapurna Range. Upon arrival enjoy an orientation walk of Lakeside

Day 4 Pokhara/Tikhedhunga

Drive to Birethanti and trek to Tikhedhunga. Enjoy 10 days of trekking through alpine meadows, isolated villages, dramatic glaciers, and inspiring mountain vistas. The drive from Pokhara to Birethanti takes about 2 hours. The route goes along the bank of Seti River and offers stunning views of Annapurna Range. As the group nears Birethanti – the trekking starting point, the road starts to climb up the hills offering even more beautiful scenery. At Birethanti, meet the trekking support crew and begin trekking towards Tirkhedhunga. Today the trek is relatively easy and just a warm up walk for your days to come

Day 5 Tikhedhunga/Ghorepani

Trek from Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani along a trail with a mix of steep steps and gentle ascents through rhododendron and oak forests, and a suspension bridge crossing. Enjoy the epic views along the way as the group climbs up 1380m in elevation today

Day 6 Ghorepani/Tadapani

Enjoy a morning excursion to Poon Hill for an unforgettable sunrise. The trail starts with a steep uphill climb through the rhododendron forest and offers panoramic views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges with sunrise over the peaks being the highlight of the day. After breakfast, the group will begin the moderate trek with some steep uphill and downhill trails all the way to Tadapani

Trek mostly uphill today from Tadapani to Chhomrong. The hike will take around 6 hours and offers expansive views as the group climbs higher and higher in elevation

Day 9 Himalaya Hotel/Annapurna Basislager

Trek from Himalaya to Annapurna Base Camp—the highest point of the Annapurna Sanctuary trek. It is a challenging but rewarding day. The trail is surrounded by tall cliffs with the peaks of Annapurna and Machhapuchhare looming overhead. As the group approaches Annapurna Base Camp, the terrain becomes more rugged and rocky

Day 10 Annapurna Basislager/Bamboo

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Kathmandu

Day 2 Kathmandu

Opt to wake up with the birds and climb to the Swayambhunath Temple. Enjoy free time in the afternoon in Kathmandu.

Day 3 Kathmandu/Pokhara

Wir lassen das Kathmandutal hinter uns und fahren in die zauberhafte nepalesische Stadt Pokhara. Je nach unserer Ankunftszeit bleibt möglicherweise noch Zeit, um ein kleines Boot zu mieten und eine kurze Runde über den See zu paddeln, um den Sonnenuntergang zu genießen.

Day 4 Pokhara/Tikhedhunga

At 8,091m (26,545.3 ft), Annapurna 1 is one of the highest mountains in the world. Its surrounding sister mountains are equally imposing and create magnificent panoramas from any view point. This trek covers a wide variety of terrain, from lowland pastures and peaceful villages to powerful glaciers and stunning mountain views. In the rugged mountain scenery, we stay in mountain communities and meet friendly Nepali hill people as they go about their daily lives. The expedition is not only visually superb, but also a chance to learn about local cultures. Along the way, see thundering waterfalls of melted snow, cross icy rivers and high mountain passes, and reward ourselves with a soak in natural hot springs.

While the trekking is challenging, averaging 4-6 hrs walking a day on steep terrain, our Annapurna Sanctuary expedition into the Himalayas allows you to experience 'the roof of the world' without major issues associated with high altitude. The highest point on the trek is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130m (13,550 ft). Hinweis - diese Wanderung erfordert eine sehr gute Kondition, denn es gibt viele Anstiege und Abstiege (es gibt kaum flache Abschnitte), wodurch sich das Gehen anstrengend gestaltet. Im Dezember und Januar herrschen oft raue Wetterbedingungen mit Schnee und Frost. Unsere Expedition wird von einem erfahrenen einheimischen Guide geführt, der Englisch spricht. Unterwegs übernachten wir in Teehäusern, die uns einfache Unterkünfte mit Zwei- oder Mehrbettzimmern, rudimentären WCs und Waschgelegenheiten und einfaches aber sättigendes, meist vegetarisches und preiswertes Essen bieten
