You’ll then travel through the Magar and Gurung communities of Hile and Tikhedhunga before reaching Ulleri.

The next day, you’ll travel to Ghorepani via a rhododendron forest and the charming villages of Banthanti and Nangge Thanti. Early in the morning, you’ll depart from Ghorepani and head to Poon Hill to witness a stunning sunrise over Machhapuchhre and the surrounding mountain ranges. After enjoying the sunrise, you’ll return to Ghorepani for breakfast.

Continuing the trek, you’ll pass through Tadapani and head towards Chomrong. The next day, you’ll march through the beautiful villages of Sinuwa and Bamboo on your way to Dovan. Your journey will then take you through the Himalayas to reach Deurali. From Deurali, you’ll head to Annapurna Base Camp and then return to Sinuwa the following day.

From Sinuwa, you’ll move towards Landruk, marking the start of your journey towards Mardi Himal. You’ll travel from Landruk through Forest Camp and a magnificent rhododendron, pine, and oak forest to Low Camp. After spending the night in Low Camp, you’ll depart for High Camp the next morning. The next day, you’ll leave High Camp and make your way without a backpack to Mardi Base Camp.

Following your visit to Mardi Himal Base Camp, you’ll descend to Badal Danda and finally to Siding. From Siding, you’ll take a shared vehicle back to Pokhara.
