Also note that our trip leader deserved the final decision if the trip has to amend, change the route or cancel due to the extreme conditions for the safety precaution. However, he will try his best to ensure that the trip runs according to the stated plan but be prepared for flexibility if necessary. Aiming Adventure suggests you get travel insurance that covers all the added expenses that might result due to various health issues, injuries or accidents (together with the air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and other treatment costs). Also, make sure that your insurance policy covers all the extra activities that you are planning to accomplish throughout your stay in Nepal. In addition to this, the policy should also cover death, misplaced luggage, theft and liability, cancellations, medical treatment (counting hospital charges, cost of the medicine, doctor’s fees) as well as repatriation cost. Most of the days while trekking in Nepal takes you above an altitude of 3000m, it is kindly requested to ensure that your insurance policy covers treks that go over 4000m. Buying insurance is highly recommended. Trekking in Nepal is physically tougher in some of the regions. However, no previous trekking experienced is required but if you have, it is a great plus point. Trekking in Nepal is a non-technical walk. The highest height you would reach on your trip is 5,416m (Throng La) from sea level. The walk involves lots of ups and downhill takes you through local villages, farming lands, terraces, and riverside but as long as you have a strength of walking for 4 to 6 hours a day, you are qualified for the trek. However, you should be having moderate health and fitness. We strongly suggest travelers consult with your medical doctor before traveling and do the regular checkup of your health and report us while booking a trip with us. A part of the health and fitness, the participant must be having a positive attitude and strong determination for the successful trip. AMS (acute mountain sickness) is a serious issue. It is the result of the failure of the body to adapt to high altitude and can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness. It usually occurs above 2,500m and the likelihood of being affected increases as you ascend. The way to reduce the effects of altitude is to ascend slowly, 300 meters per day above 3,000 meters until you have acclimatized. Poor acclimatization results in a headache, nausea, sleeplessness, difficulty breathing and swelling of fingers and glands. The only cure for AMS is to descend to a lower altitude and your guide’s decision on this matter is final. Although our routes are carefully planned to allow for proper acclimatization you may feel some effects of altitude for the first few days or at higher altitudes. Breathlessness, lethargy and mild headaches are not uncommon and generally decrease as your body adjusts. Maintaining adequate fluid intake is essential. Please advise your guide if you feel more severe symptoms and do not medicate yourself without discussing it with them first.

Then, you will directly be escorted to the tourist standard hotel by a cozy private vehicle. When you get entry into the hotel, you will rest for some time.

In case, if time is late, the meeting will be postponed for the next day. In the late evening, the company will organize a welcome dinner party in one of the popular restaurants in which you will enjoy with ethnic dance, music, and Nepali food. You will spend the night in the same lodge in which your welcome party is organized. We will set off our expedition early in the morning because it normally takes 7 hours to reach Bhulbhule from Kathmandu. First of all, you will directly be escorted to the bus station to catch a bus to Bhulbhule. Leaving Kathmandu behind, we head towards west. When the bus reaches Naubise, we will again continue towards west following the Prithivi Highway. You can relax your journey enjoying the beautiful landscape and local settlements situated around and across the Trishuli River. Our journey on bus continues until we arrive Bhulbhule where we will stop for breakfast and lunch at a popular restaurant. From Pokhara, we will change the highway and will further move towards Bhulbhule. When we reach to Bhulbhule, we will spend our time for resting and roaming around the Bhulbhule. We will spend the night at a lodge in Bhulbhule. The starting point of our real trekking begins from Bhulbhule. After having breakfast, our team leader will introduce and check our necessary formalities at the office of ACAP. Then, we start our trekking following the trail that moves via greenery forest and beautiful gardens. The way up to Ngadi is fairly easy with the flat trail. When we cross Ngadi, we will further move following the trail that leads us towards the hydro-project. Crossing the hydro-project, we will move towards Bahundanda. You will spend some time at Bahundanda for spotting a few basic lodges. From Bahundanda, we will descend on the stony path and will continuously move towards North and will cross Lili Bhir before we reach Gherum Phant. On the way to Ghermu, you will enjoy the scene of the waterfall. We will spend the night at a lodge in Ghermu Phant. The destination of the second day of our trekking is Tal. After having breakfast at Gherum Phant, we will descend towards Synage, where we will cross a big suspension bridge over the Marsyangdi River and will continue our trail following the gorge to Jagat. While moving along the way to Jagat, you can relax looking overhanging rocks. Jagat is generally recognized for Tibetan Highlanders-often known as Bhotiyas. From Jagat, our destination is Chamje, from where we will hike down to cross the bridge over the Marsuangdi River. After crossing the bridge, we will walk through the bamboo forest trail that will lead us to Tal, which is situated in a narrow high walled rocky canyon. We will spend the night at a lodge in Tal. The destination of the third day of our trekking is Danakyu. After having breakfast at Tal, we will leave that place and will get entry into the alpine area, where you can enjoy plants, grasslands, and greenery forest. Crossing the bridge over Marsyangdi River, we will continue our trail that moves through bamboo forests and passes some settlements like Dharapani and Bagarchhap. While ensuring your walk towards Danakyu, you will enjoy with a line of Donkeys carrying goods. On reaching Danakyu, we will take lunch and will spend the remaining time for exploring its surroundings. We will spend the night a lodge in Danakyu. The destination of the fourth day of our trek is Chame. Before we begin our trek, we will wake up early in the morning to enjoy the magnificent view of Annapurna II. Then, we will have short breakfast and will immediately continue our trek following the stony trail that will take us towards the village of Timang. This village is especially known for viewing vantage point in the Annapurna region which offers almost around 3600 views of the towering peaks and smaller ranges. When we pass following the trail that is passed with rhododendron forest, we do not even sense when we cross the bridge and again we hike up towards another village. Our continuous effort of walking will finally take us to the village of Koto, where you will be greeted with the glamorous view of Annapurna III. From the village of Koto, we hike down towards Chame. The 20 minutes pleasant walk will ultimately take us towards the largest village of Manang district, Chame. We will have our accommodation in a lodge in Chame. After having breakfast, we will leave our behind the Chame village and will follow the trail that will lead us towards Bhratang. You can enjoy the trail to Bhratang because it is filled with apple orchard. Then, our trekking will move towards Dhikur Pokhari in which the trail is comparatively narrower and filled with Maple and Oak tree. On reaching Dhikur Pokhari, you will be overjoyed by the eye-popping view of Annapurna IV, Pisang Peak and romantic scene of Pangdi Danda. After exploring some as mentioned scenes, we will move towards Lower Pisang. When we reach there, we will even head towards Upper Pisang thinking that it will be helpful for acclimatization. You will even get an opportunity to be joined in evening prayer with monks. We will have our accommodation and food at a lodge in Lower Pisang. After having breakfast, we start our trekking following the fairly easy trail that will get us into the drier part of the Manang district. There is two way to reach Manang: Ghyarmu route and Humde route that both will eventually meet at Mugje. Anyway, we will follow the Humde route to reach Manang that is comparatively easier than the first one. The followed trail is engulfed with enchanting views of Mani Walls, Pisang Peak, and Annapurna III. On reaching Manang, you are welcomed by stupas and monasteries of Tibetan village. Manang is even accompanied by northeast peak: Chulu and southern peak: Gangapurna. Your trekking to Manang will be memorable by sun setting and sun rising views. The accommodation of tonight is managed at a lodge in Manang. On this day, we get involved in several activities that will help us for acclimatization by making us habituated with high altitude and thinning air. Instead of resting, we keep on moving and wandering on its surroundings. The highly preferable visiting places include Milarepa’s cave for receiving blessing hiking to Khangsar for viewing Tilicho peak; hiking up Chhongar for viewing Annapurna and Chulu peaks; and ascertaining the small settlements of Manang. In the evening you will rest at hotel/lodge and will recollect your memories. We will spend the night at a lodge in Manang. After having acclimatization at Manang, we will head upward to Yak Kharka. First of all, we will have breakfast and leave the Marsyangdi Valley at our back. We will climb the uphill via alpine forest and juniper bushes. Until we reach Tangki and Ghusang the trail is comparatively tough and rocky. Then, the trail is quite easier and comfortable until we reach Yak Kharka. On reaching Yak Kharka, we are mesmerized by the thrilling and enchanting view of Annapurna III, Gangapurna, and Tilicho peaks. Finally, we will have our accommodation at a lodge in Yak Kharka. Making Yak Kharka of our behind, we will immediately continue our trek just after having breakfast. Our expedition moves towards Ledhar following the trail that moves along Chulu Peak. We will ascend from that trail and will finally cross the bridge over the Kone River. Then, walking through the sloppy trail, we will move towards Thorung Phedi. From Thorung, we will further ascend to the high camp, where we will be mesmerizing with enchanting views of Annapurna Peaks, Yakwakang and Chulu West. We will have our accommodation at a lodge in the high camp Although the circuit trekking of today is challenging; yet it very rewarding too. Our trek of that will begin early in the morning than usual day. The trail for reaching to the Thorung Lan Pass is thin and steps. When you reach there, you will be welcomed by the magnificent mountains which are above 6ooo meter and thrilling view of Kali Gandaki in the west along with Yakwakang in the north. The way to Muktinath from Thorung La Pass is long descent and fairly gentle. The descending trail is filled with overshadowing of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri. On reaching Muktinath, we will spend some hours for exploring its surrounding, then will have our accommodation at a lodge in Muktinath. Early in the morning, we will have breakfast, and then we hike to the Hindu and Buddhist shrine at Muktinath. Shortly after exploring its surrounding, we will hike down to Jharkot which is the original palace of King of Mustang chortens and Gompas around it.
