Venture through Himalayan foothills
Discover picturesque Pokhara
Join us for a thrilling Nepal trekking adventure among the giant peaks of the Annapurna mountain range.
This group adventure trip takes you on a gradual ascent from Pokhara into the Annapurna foothills and through colourful villages, terraced fields and dense forest. Gaining altitude you pass through the narrowing gorge of the Modi Khola, before emerging through the ‘gates’ of the Sanctuary.
This is a moderate trek that is perfect for adventurous travellers on a gap year or career break in Nepal. Trekkers are accommodated in comfortable Tea Houses and porters carry your main luggage, but we recommend that you have previous hiking or trekking experience, are physically fit and own comfortable walking boots.
On this adventure tour you will walk between 3-7 hours each day, at altitudes between 2000 and 3000m. This altitude should not trouble most people, but you should take things slowly at first to allow your body to acclimatise. The highest altitude reached at base camp is 4130m.
