Route Overview
Detailed Itinerary
The Annapurna Luxury Trek will start with a guided tour of Kathmandu World Heritage Sites, which are: Swayambhunath, Pashupatinath and Kathmandu Durbar Square. It is here that you will be taken on a scenic flight all the way to Pokhara, where the trekking adventure will finally start. This is the route beginning at Nayapul and traversing some beautiful villages such as Birethanti, Ghandruk, Landruk and Majgaon. In the trail, the trekkers are advised to see scenic glimpses of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machapuchare, the sacred Fishtail Mountain.
The trek concludes in Days of immersive walking and stays in luxury lodges, and then a private vehicle will take you back to Pokhara at Lumle. The last bit will involve a guided sightseeing trip around the Pokhara Valley and the flight back to Kathmandu, where the parting dinner will be held. The trail is a scenic combination of cultural immersion, modern comfort, and variety, and it is one of the most accessible and yet rewarding of luxury trekking experiences in Nepal.
The seasons most suitable to do trekking in the Annapurna area include spring (March-May), and autumn (September-November), which have clear skies and good temperatures. Colder nights during winter (December–February) and muddy trails and low visibility in summer/monsoon (June–August) are possible. Packed outerwear for unstable mountain conditions.

On arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be received by a representative and taken to your five-star hotel based in the center of Kathmandu. Once you check in, you will be able to rest and unwind after travelling. During the evening, take part in a brief orientation meeting, where your trekking guide will inform you about the itinerary to follow, the conditions of the trail, as well as the essentials. The day is topped off by an inviting evening dinner in a Nepalese restaurant with traditional cultural music and traditional Nepalese food, an ideal introduction to the Nepalese warmth and charm.
Have a good breakfast early in the morning, and then include a guided tour of Kathmandu's UNESCO World Heritage sites. Go to Swayambhunath Stupa (the Monkey Temple), where the view of the valley is impressive, and go to Pashupatinath Temple, which is one of the most sacred Hindu temples. Keep on to Boudhanath Stupa, a sacred Buddhist place with colorful prayer flags and monasteries and end with Kathmandu Durbar Square, an ancient complex of palaces with Newar architecture. In the evening, you will go back to your hotel to prepare yourself to go to the Himalayas the next day.
Then, after the breakfast flight to Pokhara - the city of lakes in Nepal, though short but picturesque. The scenery of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges is simply captivating as you fly across the hilly landscape and glistening snow tops. On arrival, you will be taken to a glamorous lakeside resort which will overlook the Phewa Lake. Use your afternoon to walk along the lake, boat, or go to the crowded cafes and shops. Pokhara has a very relaxed environment that gives you the right idea before going to the mountains.
After breakfast, leave Pokhara and have a beautiful drive through beautiful scenery to Nayapul, the point where the trek starts. Starting here, make a leisurely stroll up and down the valley of the river Modi, to Birethanti, a beautiful village, and the home of the river, with its green terraces and falls. The short and simple pathway allows one to adapt to the speed of walking. You will be staying in a luxury mountain lodge which blends comfort with the Himalayan rustic. The lodge is fully equipped with en-suite bathrooms, fine dining and mountain views.
The path we have to follow today is a gradual climb among rhododendron and oak woods, through hamlets and rocky steps cut out of the side of the hill. In about five or six hours of walking, you will come to Ghandruk, which is among the largest Gurung villages in the Annapurna area. The village has panoramic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain). The afternoon and morning can be spent on the traditional houses of Ghandruk and the local Gurung Museum to learn more about the culture and tradition of the region. You sit back in your fine mountain lodge as the sun goes down in the Himalayas.
Follow a picturesque route to the Modi Khola River, via a suspension bridge and up to Landruk, a smaller village, on the opposite side of Ghandruk. The road is lined with terraced rice fields, wooded ridges, and sporadic mountain scenery. The stroll takes between 5 and six hours at a leisurely pace. On arrival, relax in a cool welcome drink, and have it in your lodge, which is planned as a comfortable and relaxing place where you can relax and stargaze after dinner with a panoramic verandah.
The access road to Majgaon is short and simple and requires three or four hours to cover the forested hillsides and the traditional Gurung villages. You will come across shepherds and grazers of cattle on the roadside, which will give you an idea of country mountain life. At noon, you will be at your luxury lodge, where you will be allowed to relax, take a hot shower, and possibly have a spa or massage service. The afternoon is free to rest or read, or just play in the quiet mountain environment.
Then have a final easy stroll in the morning after breakfast towards Lumle, where you will bring the end of your walk. This is a brief climb that explores through smooth hills, small farms and rhododendron bushes and is a relaxing way to end your trekking expedition. It is a personal vehicle from Lumle, which brings you back to Pokhara. Afternoons have been left to spend at your lakeside resort, have a refreshing spa treatment or just sit back and have a view of a sunset on the lake.
The day-to-day is spent in the highlights of Pokhara Valley. See Davis Falls, a rare underground waterfall and Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave, which is a holy cave shrine. Visit the International Mountain Museum to learn about the history of mountaineering, and visit Bindhyabasini Temple, which is one of the oldest religious places in the city of Pokhara. Take a peaceful long boat ride in the Phewa Lake, where Machapuchare is reflected in the water. Go back to your resort to have dinner and a good evening.
In the morning, fly back to Kathmandu in a short morning flight, which is also one last view of the Himalayas in their entirety. Upon arrival in the capital, book into your high-end hotel and have some time off to shop or even relax. Then, in the evening, have a farewell dinner at a true Nepali restaurant with traditional music and dancing, to complete your cultural farewell.
Have your last breakfast in Kathmandu and get an airport transfer. You can have some free time to sightsee or even get some of these souvenirs, depending on the time that you will be on the flight. The last stop in your memorable Annapurna Luxury Trek is that a representative will drive you to Tribhuvan International Airport to continue on to your journey.
To make your Annapurna Luxury Trek a success, it is essential to learn more about relevant logistics, travelling rules, and cultural behaviors to make your experience smooth and fruitful. In this section, you can find some of the most vital information, including visa-related matters and health-related precautions, cultural etiquette and packing, as well as a few things to consider before traveling to the beautiful Nepal and the stunning Annapurna area.
In this itinerary, it is your role to make your own international flights to and out of Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport. The package covers all domestic flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara. We suggest going to Kathmandu on Day 1 at any time. The tour comes to an end officially with breakfast on the last day, and it will then be your time to book the various dates to get to the airport.
Nepal also has a valid visa, which one can acquire on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. You should have a valid passport, passport pictures and the required visa fees. Tourist visas are usually issued for 15 days, 30 days or 90 days. As requirements can be changed, we recommend checking the latest changes prior to traveling.
This trek requires comprehensive travel insurance, including medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and high altitude evacuation. The activities should be covered by your policy, and this should cover all trekking-related activities and potential helicopter rescue in remote areas. Never leave your insurance policy at home when you are travelling. Have a digital and printed version of the policy.
This is a medium level of walking with different height levels, and one needs a decent degree of fitness. The duration of daily hiking is between 3 and 6 hours. Train on light cardio or on walking in the run-up to your trip to have endurance. In case you have any pre-existing condition, you should consult your physician prior to making a booking. The team of Himalayan Vibel will offer support during the trek, but it is necessary to disclose medical requirements.
The culture of Nepal is based on the Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Wearing simple clothes, taking off shoes and not touching religious objects are expected when entering temples or monasteries. It is always good to seek permission before capturing monks and locals. Even a smile during a polite Namaste is a long way in expressing gratitude and respect.
Tipping is the norm in Nepalese tourism. As a general rule:
The tipping could be provided directly in Nepalese rupees at the conclusion of the trek. Hotel staff and drivers can also be tipped at your will for the quality of the service.
Nepal is also a secure place, yet some simple precautions should be observed. Always lock up valuables, never walk alone in the dark and always listen to your guide when trekking. Take up marked trails, because the weather in the mountains is changeable. Himalayan Vibe has well-trained professional guides and has good safety standards, which include emergency evacuation plans should the need arise.
The Nepalese currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). In Kathmandu and Pokhara, there are ATMs, but in the trekking rural regions, there may be none. Bring up cash to fund personal expenditures on the trek. Hotels and restaurants that are bigger might accept a credit card, whereas smaller shops accept cash.
The transfers between the grounds are also all offered in private, and comfortable vehicles that have been organized. This involves airport transport, hotel transport, as well as trailhead transport. The package includes domestic flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara, although it is likely to change occasionally because of weather changes.
Nepal uses 230 V/50Hz and the plug types used are C, D, and M. Charge is available in luxury lodges and hotels, although power outages may sometimes happen in rural locations. Carry a universal plug and a power bank to always be connected. There are lodges that might charge a fee to charge devices.
Nepal holds very colorful festivals. When your journey coincides with Dashain (September -October) or Tihar (October-November), you will experience a colorful cultural festival. Remember that during big holidays, the work of the public services and transportation can be limited in time.
Take a taste of both local and international food on your tour. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, there will be traditional Nepali food and the finest food in the world. The trek has mountain lodges which offer hearty and well-cooked meals in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Advise the team of any eating preferences or allergies.
The Himalayas have unpredictable weather. Himalayan Vibe can also change the flights / trekking paths or times to be safe. The team will also organize other plans in case of cancellations or delays, but this can be done at a cost.
The official language is Nepali, although English is commonly spoken by the guides and hotel staff. Most luxury lodges and hotels have Wi-Fi,but the strength may be erratic. It is also better to buy a local SIM card to have better coverage on the trek.
Even though the Annapurna Luxury Trek is considered moderate in terms of hike height, altitude sickness may arise. The schedule is made to be gradual in terms of acclimatization. Remember to stay hydrated and take your time, and inform your guide of any symptoms. Every guide is trained on awareness of altitude and first aid.
