An early departure from the capital and a private bus heading due west from Kathmandu to Pokhara along a road heavily used by trucks traveling to and from India. Leaving the valley, we crossed a small pass before plunging down a winding descent to the lower section, which then runs alongside the Trishuli River, where it's not uncommon to see people rafting during the season. Following the river, we arrived at Mugling, a small town whose appeal lies in its location at a crossroads: the road to India on the left and the road to western Nepal on the right. The road continues to Pokhara, then 15km along the flat, irrigated valley floor before reaching our destination and the starting point of the trek at Phedi, meaning "foot of the hill." The trek begins with the ascent of this hill, partly via steps carved into the hillside and partly through wooded areas, before opening onto a plateau of rice paddies. One last climb to reach Dhampus, opposite the Annapurna range. Breathtaking view! Overnight in a lodge.

Facing the Annapurnas, the trail crosses the long village of Dhampus and continues through the forest to Pothana. A little further on, you reach Deurali, a small pass at 2100m from where Dhaulagiri is visible. The trail then descends steeply at first, then gently through rainforest before emerging from the canyon and reaching Tolka at 1710m. The trail continues its descent to Landrung, a large Gurung village. Overnight in a lodge.

The trail descends towards the Modi River through rice paddies and then through woods before following the river upstream to a bridge at 1340m. From there, it climbs steeply to Samrung before crossing a stream and then ascending steeply to Jhinu Danda at 1600m. There's a hot spring nearby, but the hilltop is our next destination. It's a long and tiring climb up a treeless hillside to Taglung at 2050m. The path then joins the one from Gandrung to Chomrong and becomes wider and better. Chomrong is a large Gurung village with very good quality lodges, facing Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. Overnight in a lodge.

The trail descends a long stone staircase and crosses a stream on a suspension bridge before climbing through a forest to Sinuwa at 2250m. The trail continues through rhododendron forest and reaches Kuldi at 2350m. From there, the path descends a long stone staircase through a forest of bamboo and rhododendrons. The trail becomes wet and muddy until it reaches Bamboo Lodge and its few lodges at 2190m. The trail continues to climb through the forest and leads to Dobhan. Overnight in a lodge.

The trail continues uphill, passing the Himalaya Hotel with its two lodges. Then, for an hour, we ascend a steep ravine to reach Hinko Rock and continue on to Deurali at 3000m. The trail finally opens up, and the surrounding cliffs are breathtaking. We arrive at Bagar and continue to the foot of Machapuchare. Stunning views of Hiunchuli, Annapurna I and III, Gangapurna, and Machapuchare. Overnight in a lodge.

A short hike, breathtaking views, and here we are in the heart of the glacial cirque, facing Annapurna I (8091m), the 10th highest peak on the planet. Plenty of time to explore this magnificent sanctuary. Overnight in a lodge.

We retrace our steps through the bamboo forests and climb the long staircase before Kuldi. From Sinuwa, we can see Chomrong in the distance. It's so pleasant to be back among the cultivated fields and out of the narrow valley. After the suspension bridge, we climb the long staircase leading to the comfortable lodge at Chomrong. Overnight in the lodge.

The trail climbs steeply from Chomrong, then at Taglung, where it rejoins the outward route, we stay on the main path heading due west through cultivated fields before descending slightly to 2020m. From this point, the trail descends steeply in zigzags to Kimrong at 1720m. After crossing the river on a bridge, a steep section leads to Uri at 2220m. The trail then descends gently through cornfields to reach the beautiful Gurung village of Ghandruk. Overnight in a lodge.

We reluctantly left Ghandruk, admiring Annapurna South which towers over the village, and descended the steps to a gate at the edge of town. We headed towards the Modi Khola, which flows below, passing through the charming villages of Chane and Kimche. Continuing downhill through subtropical vegetation, we arrived at the village of Shyauli Bazar at 1220m. Still descending along the Modi River, we reached Birethanti, a beautiful village at the confluence of two rivers, which we crossed on a long suspension bridge. Another 30-minute walk brought us to the village of Naya Pul, where we boarded a vehicle for a journey of approximately 40 km before arriving in Pokhara. We checked into our hotel and reluctantly said goodbye to our Nepalese friends. Overnight at the hotel.

Arrival in Kathmandu after a magnificent flight along the Himalayan range… The Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, and Langtang Lirung massifs unfold before our awestruck eyes. Transfer to the hotel and the rest of the day at leisure. Overnight at the hotel.

Today we set off to explore the Kathmandu Valley, starting with the charming city of Bhaktapur, "the city of devotees," the jewel of the valley with its countless temples and scenes of rural life. After lunch, we return to Kathmandu, visiting the Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, where all Hindus are cremated. Then we continue to the enormous Buddhist stupa of Bodhnath, where Tibetan pilgrims tirelessly circle the stupa, spinning prayer wheels and reciting their rosaries. What an atmosphere! Overnight at the hotel

Depending on flight times, it will be possible to do some last-minute shopping before heading to the airport for the return flight.
