    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      200 Km Drive To Pokhara (Altitude 800M, 2624Ft) From Kathmandu, 7-8 Hours


      Drive 200 km to Pokhara and it takes about 6-7 hours from Kathmandu by tourist bus. It is an exciting and romantic drive that we can enjoy beautiful scenic view of terraced rice field, eye catching landscape, Trisuli and Marsyangdi Rivers and spectacular panoramic view of Ganesh Himal, Manaslu, Lamjung Himal and most of Annapurna Himalayan Range are seen. The tourist coach stops for breakfast at 09:00 am and at around 12:00 for lunch on the way to Pokhara.

    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Trek To Ulleri (2100M / 6888Ft), 5-6 Hours Walk.

We cross the bridge over Modi Khola near ACAP check post and follow the Burundi Khola and then slowly ascend through unseal dirt road to Hille, then short ascend to Tikhedunga and we cross 2 suspension bridges over Burundi Khola and steep hill to Ulleri which can be very demanding for beginner hikers.

      ยญ 

      2850 meters

      A short steep ascend walking in stone steps to Upper Ulleri. We then continue through Asiaโ€™s biggest rhododendron forests. The journey to Ghorepani is more or less as long as the trek on the first day. It depends on how fast you can walk. However, contrary to the Ulleri trail, itโ€™s much steeper and basically no part of it is completely flat. On the second day of the extraordinarily beautiful trek to Poon Hill, we leave cozy village of Ulleri at sunrise and headed uphill towards another village - Ghorepani. Ghorepani is located at an elevation of 2,850 meters and it differs from other towns with the distinctive blue roofs and houses. It is also a gateway to the most important point of the trek - Poon Hill (around 3200 meters above sea level) which offers a spectacular, 360-degree view of the Annapurna range in the Himalayas. Especially stunning in March/April when all the wild rhododendrons blossom and cover the mountainous valleys in bright red colors. You should reach Ghorepani and take some rest at the guest house there before another strenuous sunrise hike to Poon Hill will await you the next morning at dawn. Youโ€™ll notice the difference in the climate as well as the flora around you as you climb higher. The forest will become denser and more humid, with beautiful flowers everywhere and youโ€™ll see more and more rhododendrons. The rhododendrons make the entire area a magical place. Sometimes it seems impossible that itโ€™s all wild - it resembles more of an exotic garden rather than an ordinary forest. The color of flowers is bright red, it makes you feel like youโ€™re in a fairy tale or in the Avatar film - you must experience it yourself to see how amazing it is. The photos and words are not able to depict the uniqueness and tranquility of this spectacular region.
