A hiking adventure in Nepal #ihikedABCwithTSG
The itinerary
We will explore the capital city of Nepal and spend the night, while we prepare ourselves for the trek. Our stay will be in a 4* hotel in the center of Thamel, the touristic area of Kathmandu.
After taking a 30 minutes flight to Pokhara, we start to head towards the mountains. We will drive to Matque where we start our adventure by crossing the longest hanging bridge in the region. You are thrown in at the deep end, starting with seemingly never ending stairs- the perfect warm up! :-)
But don't worry- this first hike is a short one...we stop at Chhomrong, where you will experience your first panoramic view of the Himalayas.
Overnight in Chhomrong.
Our destination today is Dovan- Our day will start early to catch the sunrise. It's worth it! On the way up, we will be passing through Sinuwa and Bamboo. Here the hills blend into jungle. Overnight in Dovan.
From Dovan we will go all the way to Machhapuchhre Base Camp(MBC).
We trek through various waterfalls as the landscape turns into rugged mountain terrain as we hike above the treeline, with the peaks surrounding us.
A special view is the majestic Machhapuchhre- or fish tail mountain- the only peak not summited by man, as it's believed to be holy. Overnight in MBC.
We will wake up early in order to push for the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC).
What an achievement!
After enjoying lunch as close to the peak as we will get..and taking in the atmosphere.. we will head back to Himalaya where we will spend the night. Overnight in Himalaya.
We will continue our descent towards the starting point and our destination this day is Upper Sinuwa.
From Upper Sinuwa we will go back all the way to the first village on the trail-
Jhinu Danda.
Here we will enjoy some well deserved chilling time in the hot springs- bring your swimsuits! Overnight in Jhinu Danda
It is time to go back to Pokhara. On this day we will once again be crossing the suspension bridge, all the way to the meeting point where we will take the Jeeps back to the city.
Today we will be rewarding ourselves with a stay at a 5* Spa & hotel in Pokhara.
Time to head back to Kathmandu in order to get ready to go back home.
We will take our flight in the afternoon. After the closing ceremony and certificate handing over we will have time to shop and pick up souvenirs in the market of Thamel. Overnight in Kathmandu.
A la prochaine beautiful Nepal!
