About the Trek
Pokhara, a picturesque lakeside city known for its stunning views of the Annapurna range. From here, trekkers drive to Nayapul or Ulleri to start the hike. The trail gradually ascends through charming Gurung and Magar villages, terraced farmlands, and lush rhododendron forests. The first major highlight is Poon Hill (3,210 m), where an early morning climb rewards trekkers with a breathtaking sunrise over Annapurna South, Machapuchare (Fishtail), Dhaulagiri, and other Himalayan giants.
The landscape transforms from green forests to rugged alpine terrain as you pass through villages like Chhomrong, Bamboo, and Deurali. The trail follows the Modi Khola River valley, surrounded by towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls.
What makes this trek special is its perfect combination of cultural immersion, diverse landscapes, and close-up Himalayan views. From the peaceful lakes of Pokhara to the dramatic glaciers of Annapurna Base Camp, this journey delivers a complete and unforgettable Himalayan adventure.
