Early that morning, we’ll take a short hike to Poon-Hill (3210m) to see the beautiful sunrise and colorful mountains. We’ll see Annapurna South (7219m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Hiun Chuli (6441m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7855m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Lamjung Himal (6931m) and many other peaks in Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna mountain ranges. Trekking back to Ghorepani for breakfast, we’ll then commence our trek to Tadapani. Along another rugged rhododendron forest, we’ll finally reach Tadapani. That night we’ll stay in a locally owned guesthouse.

The first part of today’s trek involves a steep descent through the dense forest and a walk passing the west bank of the Modi Khola. Later that day we’ll pass the village of Chuile and eventually reach the much bigger village of Chhomrong. The mighty Annapurna south and sacred Mt. Fishtail appear just in front of the village. We’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.

Having walked through forests festooned with orchids and butterflies on the bank of Modi River to Khuldi, we’ll then descend down a long, steep, slippery stone staircase into the deep bamboo and rhododendron forests. Passing the small settlement of Bamboo, the trail continues gradually upward to the village of Doban. We’ll then stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.

The day starts with gradual ascent following the trail above the river through thick bamboo, oak and rhododendron forests. We’ll cross two streams over rickety bridges and journey through solitary stretches where nature's wilderness provides a true peace to the mind. There is also the likelihood of seeing a diverse variety of native wildlife. Once again, we’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.

.On the way to Annapurna base camp from Deurali, the vegetation disappears. We’ll see the snow boulders melting and forming small streams. The path widens as follow a stream and then climb up to a few huts alongside a moraine. We’ll witness the sensational views of the Annapurna Mountains towering above the sanctuary. Mt. Fishtail (6,993m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Hiunchuli and numerous other peaks will now all be in view. We’ll stay overnight in a guest house of Annapurna Base Camp.

An early start will ensure we enjoy the magnificent sunrise over the Himalayas. After breakfast, we’ll trek downhill to Bamboo. Heading down the valley is much easier than climbing up. Once again we’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.

Our trek continues descending towards Jhinu Danda. En-route you’ll get the opportunity to lie on natural hot springs situated just a 15-minute walk from Jhinu Danda. That night we’ll stay overnight in a locally owned guesthouse.

Leaving Jhinu Danda, we’ll trek all the way downhill to Nayapul. Farmland, scattered settlements, dense forests, and refreshing environments inspire us to overcome every challenge of our journey. From Nayapul, we’ll drive to Pokhara where you’ll enjoy a much-appreciated rest in your hotel.
