Tour Overview
The lovely lakeside town of Pokhara and the Annapurna foothills to the north holds Nepal’s most beautiful mountain scenery. Rice terraces and rhododendron forests lead the eye to the timeless peaks of Machupuchare, also known as fishtail mountain, and the high Annapurnas. Our moderate 6 day trek takes us through the villages of prettiest villages of the region, including Birethanti and Gangruk. Linked by 5 lovely mountain lodges, built in the local style, but with the creature comforts not normally found on Himalayan treks.Moving on to the tropical lowlands, in Chitwan you’ll stay in Barahi Lodge’s boutique eco-cottages sandwiched between the jungle and the Rapti River. Glimpse wildlife from the infinity pool, spot birdlife and crocodiles as you float downstream by traditional dugout canoe, and encounter the endangered Indian one-horned rhinoceros on a jeep safari. Return to Kathmandu by flight to round off your adventure.

The accommodation shown has been booked and agreed in advance; however, we may need to make changes to a property of a similar or higher standard after you have booked. We endeavour to inform you of any changes in advance, which could, on rare occasions, be at late notice. In Kathmandu, the Yak & Yeti occasionally host large wedding parties which can be disruptive to other guests staying at the hotel. For convenience and to ensure our guests are not disturbed late into the night, we will relocate groups to the five star Hyatt Regency Hotel which is in close proximity to the popular Boudhha Stupa temple and other local shops and restaurants.
Extra accommodation
If you require any additional accommodation in Kathmandu either before or after the tour, we can book this for you (subject to availability), please enquire with your sales representative.
Single accommodation
If you prefer your own room, we offer a single supplement for the hotel nights in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan (subject to availability). While in the Mountain Lodges, single rooms are very limited and cannot be guaranteed so these have not been included in the single supplement price paid in advance. However, if a single room is available on arrival to a Mountain Lodge, you can pay locally on a day-by-day basis.
