Today we will take a scenic drive from Kathmandu and drive over zigzag hilly roads to reach Pokhara. Pokhara is a beautiful town set on the banks of the Fewa Lake. It is tourist’s paradise full of natural as well as cultural heritage sites such as lakes, caves, temples of Buddhist and Hindus along with the fascinating high mountains. It is smaller and much less hectic than Kathmandu. After reaching Pokhara you will be transferred to the hotel for the overnight stay.

Today we leave Pokhara and drive for about one and half hour to reach Nayapul – the starting point of the trek. We start our trek from Nayapul as our trail along the Modi Khola river valley to reach Birethanti. At Birethanti we will make a short stop for registration at the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP)’s checkpoint.

After a while of trekking, we reach the broad grassy slopes of Machhapuchre Base Camp. From here we can enjoy the views of Machhapuchre (Fish-Tail), Gangapurna and Annapurna South. Our trail from there climbs an ancient moraine all the way up to Annapurna Base Camp. Once we reach Annapurna Base Camp, we are greeted by the up-close view of Annapurna I. We will spend one more day at ABC for acclimatization.

Acclimatization is essential in higher altitudes to avoid altitude sickness and to assure our successful summit climb of Tharpu Chuli Peak and Singu Chuli Peak. By now we have reached over 4,000 meters above sea level. Hence, today we take a day rest at Annapurna Base Camp for acclimatization. We will make short hikes around Annapurna Base Camp, which are considered best for acclimatization and for magnificent views of Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Annapurna South, and other surrounding snow-capped mountains.   

Meals: All Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After spending a full day exploration at Annapurna Base Camp, we pack our gears and gently descend to the Annapurna glacier. Our trail goes over the glacier and crosses it before following a difficult trail that climbs to Tent Peak Base Camp. Our climbing trek can be very tiring so resting every now and then helps in restoring energy much needed in higher altitudes. Once we reach the base camp, our Sherpa crew will quickly set up the camps and make preparations for setting up high camp at a higher altitude above the base camp.

Meals: All Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After having breakfast at the base camp, we gear up and follow the trail that climbs steeply through a snow-covered and icy trail to reach at a good campsite at 5,200 meters. Our Sherpa crew will do all the hard works from carrying the tents and all the climbing gears. We will spend an additional day rest at high camp for acclimatization before climbing the main summit of Tharpu Chuli ‘ Tent Peak ‘.

Meals: All Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Proper acclimatization is the success key to a challenging and excitement filled climbing adventure. Today we will take a rest day at High Camp for acclimatization. With great views of surrounding high peaks within Annapurna Sanctuary, we spend our day indulging in small hikes around the high camp.

Meals: All Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Today we start early with the vision to reach the summit before noon, as the strong winds after midday can create obstacles in reaching the peak summit. Fully acclimatized and properly equipped with all the climbing gears, we will follow the footsteps of our experienced climbing experts we climb towards the summit of Tharpu Chuli Peak. Once at the top we are rewarded with a superb panorama of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna I, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Annapurna V, Machhapuchre (Fish-Tail) and Singu Chuli or Fluted Peak. We will spend short quality time at the summit and start to descend following the same route back to High Camp.

From the High Camp, we will spend a couple of days engaging in climbing training practices with enough time for acclimatization. Our Sherpa crew will set up additional camps at higher altitudes before attempting the main summit climb of Singu Chuli Peak. Follow the guidance of our experienced climbing experts we will tackle several technical sections and head towards the summit. Our tiring climb to the summit of Singu Chuli Peak is rewarded with stunning views of high mountains within Annapurna Sanctuary including Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Varaha Shikhar, Machhapuchre (Fish-Tail), Nilgiri, Tukuche Peak, Lamjung Himal, and Tharpu Chuli Peak.

We will take a short rest at ABC and then descend further to reach Machhapuchre Base Camp for the overnight stay.    

Meals: All Meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Today we leave Machhapuchre Base Camp and continue to retrace our steps on the main ABC trail that descends from harsh alpine vegetation into the subtropical environment. Our trail is mostly downhill as we pass along Deurali, Himalaya, Dobhan and, Bamboo before arriving at Sinuwa. From Sinuwa the settlement of Chhomrong is clearly visible.

From Sinuwa, our trail descends down to cross a suspension bridge over Chhomrong river. After crossing the bridge we start ascending over the stone staircase to the village of Chhomrong. From Chhomrong our trail descends vigorously towards Jhinudanda. There is a ‘Natural Hot Spring’ at Jhinudanda. We will leave our belongings at the tea house and relax at the hot spring of Jhinudanda. It is believed that the hot springs bear the potential of healing body ache and pains.
