We will start our drive to Nayapool after the breakfast in Pokhara hotel. The drive to Nayapool is very scenic with the stunning view of Annapurna Himalaya range and landscape. Usually the drive is for one and half hour though the country side road. Once we reached in Nayapool – the small country side town, then we will start our first day of the trek to Tikhedhunga of Annapurna Base Camp trek. Today most part of the trail is though motor road. After about half an hour of trek from Nayapool, we will reach to Birethanti where we have to stop and register the TIMS and Annapurna Conservation Area permit for trekkers. The trail today mostly are along the side of Bhurungdi Khola (river). We will see more the villages and country side landscapes on this day

 Today we have quite demanding and beautiful day.Since the start of the day we will have almost all the trail is steep ascending of stone stairs. We will gain about 1325 meters of altitude today. Especially the first part till Banthanti can be quite challenging for most of the trekkers who do not have prior hiking experience but manageable even for the beginners. The view of South Annapurna, Himchuli and Machhapuchhree will be welcoming you during the most part of the trail and once we reached at Ghorepani, the panoramic view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalaya make you feel worth of your effort of reaching Ghorepani. Ghorepani is the small town surrounded by thick rhododendron and oak trees forest.

 Early morning we will hike up to Poon Hill (3210 m) which is very popular view point of Annapurna Conservation Area to see the sunrise and panoramic view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayas range. When the sunrise is over than we will descend to Ghorepani and prepare for our day to Tadapani. The trail leads few ups and downs though rhododendron forest. Tadapani is another small village located in the scenic point of Annapurna South, Himchuli and Machhapuchhre peaks of Annapurna region. During the spring time all these forest looks colorful of blooming different colors of rhododendrons.

 As high as we go the villages are getting smaller and smaller as the less inhabitants, Our day begin with the 800 meters steep descending to Kimrong Khola and on wards few ascending and descending. We will pass the agriculture farms and small villages during our walk to Upper Sinuwa. The Annapurna Himalayas range are welcoming the day from the most part of our trail. Chomrong village and the view seen of Annapurna Himalayas is going to be the most highlight of the day today. After Chomrong village we will have about three hours of walk to Upper Sinuwa that include an hour of steep descending to Chomrong Khola and another two hours of ascending.

 Today our walk is slightly easier comparing to last few days as the trail doesn't have so much of steep ascending and descending. Most of the day we will be walking though forests on gradual ascending with some short descending trail. As we will be walking between two high hills we do not have much view of Annapurna Himalayas today but still Machhapuchhre can be seen from some parts of the trail. There are few wild hives around the Himalaya on the rocky wall of hill.

 Trail to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is mostly gradual ascending however there is short descending from Hinku Cave to Deurali. We will be passing avalanche area and the views today are great and Machhapuchhre Mountain is very closely seen from Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The sun set over Machhapuchhre seen from Machhapuchhre Base Camp is considered as one of the most scenic view. After the day is finish and if we are not tired we can go for short side walk around  Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The Annapurna Himalayas range are seen from Machhapuchhre Base Camp as well

 Today we are going the final destination of the trip to Annapurna Base Camp. We will start out hike in the morning to not miss the sunrise over Annapurna I (8091 m) and panoramic view of Himalayas.

Probably this is going to be the best vacation in your life time trip. We will spend some time at Annapurna Base Camp and continue our descending way back to Dovan. The trail is descending mostly all the way to Dovan from Annapurna Base Camp

 The descending trail till Chomrong is the same as we took while ascending. Mostly we have to descend however an hour of steep ascending from Chomrong Khola to Chomrong village can make you feel slightly tough after few days of ascending and descending. From Chomrong an hour of steep descending will take you the Jhinu Danda and after some time of rest we will hike to Hot Spring and interested may enjoy the bath. The trail to Hot spring is about 30 minutes of descending from Jhinu Danda and the coming way back need about 45 minutes of ascending

 The first part of the trail till New Bridge is steep descending and from New Bridge to Landruk village is ascending. We have to cross the suspension bridge over Modi Khola to get to Landruk. Landruk is one of the big Gurung tribe people inhabitant village.  From Landruk we have mostly gradual ascending and descending to Tolkha village. We can still see the Annapurna Himalayas range from Tolkha too as well however the distance not as close from Annapurna Base Camp.

 Today we will be walking most of the part through road. On our descending trail to Phedi we will be passing small Gurung villages Deurali, Pothana and Dhampus where few tea houses and nice scenery of Annapurna’s range are. The last part of the trail from Dhampus to Phedi is very steep descending for an hour. Once we reach in Phedi then we will drive back to Pokhara.
