Tour Overview
Our Annapurna Trek and Jungle Safari starts with a marvelous drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Pokhara is a beautiful city situated near Phewa Lake, with a HImalaya mountain backdrop. This Annapurna Trek is a short route into the foothills of the Annapurna Mountains. This trek is all about admiring the valuable gift of nature, from picturesque terraced hillsides to blooming rhododendrons to snow-clad peaks. The natural beauty is wonderful is this region. Our Annapurna Trek and Jungle Safari is a perfect mix of adventurous and tranquil. We feel the cool winds, subtropical climate, fresh air from the forests, and can feel the cold drops of water from the waterfalls. Nayapul is the place from where begin our trekking journey through forests and up hills. This walking will not be boring as you can take pleasure of spectacular views on the way. Eventually, we reach to the Poon Hill viewpoint (3210m) and are absolutely stunned by the massive peaks reaching up into the sky. In the morning, when the rays of sun little by little falls upon the snow capped summits, that view is beyond the description.There are plenty of photo opportunities so you can make these memories last forever.
