After getting some time to rest, we'll meet again and travel to one of the classic Nepalese restaurants for a welcome dinner followed by a short briefing about the tour. Overnight stay at the hotel.

After breakfast, on the second day of the trip, we will take an early morning flight to Pokhara, the beautiful lake city, and catch great views of the Himalayas. After landing at the Pokhara airport, we will drive to Nayapul (1 hour and 20 minutes). The trek will start from here. After reaching Birethanti, we will trek to Ghandruk, a beautiful village mostly inhabited by the Gurung community. If time permits, we will also visit the Gurung Museum. Overnight in Ghandruk.

At this juncture, we will climb for around an hour up to Kimrungdanda. On the way, we will enjoy great views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre), and Ganggapurna. A steep descent will take us to the Kimrong Khola. After another steep ascent from Kimrong Khola to Chere Danda, we will descend for a while, and then it’s a gentle walk to Chhomrong. Chhomrong is a beautiful village located on the lap of the giant Annapurna massive. Overnight in Chhomrong.
