Itinerary

Upon arrival at Kathmandu airport, we receive you there and drive you to the hotel. Tour briefing and free time.

We fly to Pokhara, then drive down into the Kali Gandaki Valley and up the tributary Myagdi Khola valley as far as Darbang situated at an altitude of approximately 1100 meters. We set up the first camp of the trip at Darbang.

We set off trekking, passing through several villages en route to the ridge-top settlement of Dharapani. We have lunch here, then continue our trek via Takam to Sibang (1770m).

Today, we trek to the large village of Muri where we stop for lunch, before continuing our ascent of the Myagdi Khola valley to Naura Bhir (1450m).

We trek northwards, still following the Myagdi Khola, to the village of Baghara. We descend to the river before climbing again to the herder's camp at Lapche Kharka (2000m).

The trail continues climbing through the forest to the open grazing area of Dobang. After lunch, continue to Sallaghari (2500m) where we make camp.

Today, we trek through a forested area and across the moraine to reach the area known as the 'Italian Basecamp' (3660m) where we make our camp below the stupendous west face of Dhaulagiri.

Continuing our ascent of the Myangdi Khola, we make the short but steep climb to our next camp known as 'Japanese Camp' or Chhonbardan Glacier Camp (4200m). There are great views of the Dhaulagiri peaks.

We are now above 4,000 meters and our next camp will be at 4700 meters so we must include an acclimatization day before going higher. A good day for resting and catching up with the laundry.

Today, we trek across the moraine of the Dhaulagiri West Icefall to reach Dhaulagiri Basecamp (4748m) which we should reach in time for lunch. We set up camp here in a fantastic location surrounded by Himalayan peaks.

After our significant recent height gain, we take a rest day here to help with our acclimatization.

An early start, crossing moraine to eventually reach a ridge that takes us up to the easy-angled snow slopes leading to the French Pass (5360m). We cross the pass to reach the 'Hidden Valley' behind Dhaulagiri where we make camp at 5120 meters.

The Hidden Valley is a great place for a spot of exploration. This day also serves as a spare or contingency day in the case of delays up to this point.

We climb back up to the level of the French Pass at the other end of the valley and then take the high traverse across to the slightly lower Dhampus Pass (5280m). Once over the pass, we descend steeply to our camp at Yak Kharka (3827m).

Today we descend 1000 meters to the floor of the Kali Gandaki Valley and the pretty village of Marpha (2667m) on the Annapurna Circuit. A short trek north then takes us to Jomsom (2736m), where we stay in a lodge.

We take the exciting flight to Pokhara, where we check in at a hotel and have the rest of the day to explore this picturesque lakeside town, with its spectacular Annapurna views.

We have a morning flight to Kathmandu, where we check in at our hotel and have the remainder of the day at leisure.
