Trek Itinerary
Day 01. Pokhara (823m) – Ulleri (2050m): 5-6 hrs.
The trek starts from Pokhara after an hour drive to Nayapul. We pass through sub-tropical valley forests, crossing the Bhurungdi Khola on a bridge to the village of Tikhedhunga. We climb up to the Ulleri Village with thousands of steps and boulders that continually go upward will really prove a test of our stamina. Overnight in Ulleri.
Meals included: Lunch Dinner
Day 02. Ulleri to Ghorepani (2,750m): 4 – 5 hours trek
After breakfast, we ascend to the Ghorepani village. Ghorepani is an interesting place with small shops and stalls for selling local products and crafts. The town has two parts: one in a saddle and the other a few hundred feet lower. We stop at the higher part of the Ghorepani village that offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains including Annapurna South and Nilgiri mountains. Since Ghorepani lies quite higher than our previous stop, we begin to feel the chilly weather especially in the evenings. Overnight in Ghorepani.
Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 03. Ghorepani – Tadhapani (2630m.) with Poon Hill (3210m.): 6-7 hrs.
Poonhill is the best place to have a sunrise view over the Himalayas. So to catch this opportunity we make an early morning climb along the steep trail to the viewpoint of Poon Hill (3,210m), the most popular trekking destination of the Annapurna region. It is also a great viewpoint to enjoy the amazing views of Mustang, Pokhara and more than 15 highest mountains including the close-up views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. After breakfast, we head to Tadhapani via Deurali. Deurali is also in similar elevation like Poon hill. From Deurali, we descend through rhododendron forests, pass by spectacular waterfalls along the way and reach Tadhapani. Overnight in Tadhapani.
Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day04. Tadhapani – Jhinu (1780m.): 4-5hrs.
The trail starts off with a descent through a large rhododendron forest. The forest trail ends and our trail opens up to beautifully terraced fields. We walk uphill for around 5 km and pass waterfalls and reach a suspension bridge. Suspension bridges are very common in the hilly and mountainous regions of Nepal. A few more miles of uphill and downhill trekking and we reach our destination for today. After reaching Jhinu Danda, we can spend the time either taking a rest in our hotel or relaxing on natural hot spring. The Jhinu Hot Spring is an attraction where we can easily spend our time on Hot Pool. It is supposed to relieve pain and tiredness after the trek. Overnight in Jhinu
Meals included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner
Day 05. Jhinu – Landruk: 4-5 hrs.
The trail from Jhinu gradually descends till the new bridge then gradually ascends through villages and forest. Today’s walk is relatively easy, along ridge lines with some flats, gentle climbs. Upon reaching Landruk, you will rest, learn about the village and marvel at this impressive scenery. Landruk lies within the Annapurna Conservation Area and is a visual highlight of the trek. It is also home to the famous Honey Hunting Festival, where honey harvesters climb bamboo ladders and hang precariously over cliffs from ropes to gather honeycomb from the cliff faces.
