Popular among the trekkers as one of the best two weeks tea house trek in Nepal that gives abundant dose of spectacular mountain scenery and varied Himalayan Culture.
The trail goes through many culturally blessed isolated villages, dense forest with diverse range of flora and fauna and rarely trekked alpine meadows that offers jaw dropping vista of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range accompanied by many others.
We will start this immensely gratifying trek with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Lake City Pokhara. From Pokhara we will gradually ascend through the lust forest to the traditional Gurung settlements of Ghandruk and Tadapani. The view of small thatched roofed houses within the terraced fields accompanied by majestic Annapurna and Dhaulagiri in the backdrop instigates the adrenaline rush. Leaving Tadapani behind us we will walk through the isolated and less trekked high alpine settlement of Bayeli and Dobato which ultimately lead us to Kopra ridge. The view of massive Dhaulagiri dipping in to the hazy depths of Kali Gandaki (deepest gorge in the world) along with peaks like Nilgiri, Annpurna I, and Annapurna south dominating the whole skyline is miraculous. From here we will further walk towards the Holy Kaire Lake which is situated in the lap of Fang face of Annapurna I. From here we return back through the main trekking route to Ghorepani by trekking through open alpine pastures, oak and Rhododendron forest. We too will hike to Poon Hill to witness the magical view of sunrise over the 8000m peaks like Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu along with many other. From here we trek down to Tikledhunga and Nayapool and catch a ride back to Pokhara to celebrate this thrilling yet soothing trek that introduces us to the best assets of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri.
As soon as you land on the Tribhuwan International Airport our representative will pick you and transfer to the hotel.

Following the well established trail we will trek through the dense forest of pine, juniper and rhododendron, pristine rivers and serene hamlets to the traditionally Gurung settlement of Ghandruk via Dhampus and Landruk.

It is possible to trek in places like the Everest region during the winter but due to extreme cold weather and heavy snow fall it may be quite difficult than as usual.
April to June (summer): In these months it is quite warm and dry weather. There is an abundance of blooming flowers in the Himalayas at this time, with rhododendrons, in particular, adding a splash of color to the landscape. This season is the best time to undertake mountain expeditions.
