Annapurna Foothills Yoga and Trek

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, our representative will welcome you and escort you to your hotel in Kathmandu. After check-in, we hold a brief meeting to cover the trek itinerary, safety procedures, and logistics.

The remainder of the day is free to rest and prepare for the journey ahead.

We catch a scenic 30-minute mountain flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, offering aerial views of the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu on clear days. Upon arrival at 823 m, we transfer to our lakeside hotel.

Our afternoon features a one-hour meditation class to begin preparing mentally for the trek.

We start our morning with yoga in Pokhara, then drive past Nayapul to Birethanti at 1,039 m where we check our ACAP permits. From Birethanti, we follow the Bhurungdi Khola valley to Hile at 1,495 m to begin our trek.

We climb past Tikhedhunga on approximately 3,000 stone steps through rhododendron and oak forests, arriving at the Magar village of Ulleri at 1,960 m.

Our trail climbs gradually from Ulleri through dense rhododendron and oak forests, passing through the traditional rest stops of Banthanti and Nangethanti.

We reach Ghorepani at 2,880 m on a forested ridge, historically an important watering stop for trans-Himalayan trade routes.

We make a pre-dawn ascent from Ghorepani to the Poon Hill viewpoint at 3,210 m to watch the sunrise over Dhaulagiri and the Annapurnas. After descending for breakfast, our trek continues through shaded woodland.

We walk along gradual forest trails before arriving at Tadapani at 2,630 m, set on a ridge with close views of Annapurna South and Machapuchare.

We descend through bamboo and rhododendron forests toward the Modi Khola river valley, listening to the rushing water as we lose elevation.

Arriving at Jhinu Danda at 1,780 m, we take a short forest descent to the natural geothermal hot springs beside the river for a recovery soak.

After breakfast in Jhinu Danda, we take a two-hour drive along mountain roads back to Pokhara, retracing our route through terraced fields in the Modi Khola valley.

We check into our lakeside hotel and gather for an afternoon meditation session to process our journey.

We spend a full day in Pokhara dedicated to physical recovery, stretching, and guided yoga sessions by the lakeside.

You are free to explore the local markets, walk along Phewa Lake, or simply rest at the hotel.

We take a morning flight from Pokhara back to Kathmandu, enjoying one final aerial look at the middle hills and snow-capped peaks.

Upon reaching Kathmandu, we transfer to our hotel and enjoy a farewell dinner with our team in the evening.

Our team provides an airport transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your international departure.

We wish you a safe journey onward.
