Overview

Detailed Itinerary

Day 01: Drive to Pokhara

We will start our drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara on our Private Vechile. You might find it exhausting to travel the entire length of Nepal’s main highway to Pokhara for a scenic drive, and just stay the night at Pokhara. The most amazing thing to do in Pokhara in the evening is take a beautiful stroll by the lake before heading out to dinner.

Day 02: Drive to Kande, then trek to Samjay Deurali (1 hr drive and 4-5 hr walk)

We set out on our trek from Pokhara. The day before the hike, or at 6:30 a.m., you will meet the guide. You will travel to Kande in the private vehicle in approximately one hour. We will start our journey to Samjay Deurali from Kande. It takes about 1.5 hours to walk from the stone-paved pathway to the forested pathway that leads to Australian Base Camp. We will travel through Pitam Deurali and walk for three to four hours to reach Samjay Deurali.

Day 03: Trek to Badal Danda (3,210m) (6-7 hr walk)

Following our meal at Samjay Deurali, we will continue on our route. We travel through a serene and picturesque forest to Kokar, or Forest Camp, where we will have lunch. Our journey is not over yet. We make our way to Low Camp by ascending the stone-paved path through the rhododendron forests. After a short period of rest at Low Camp, we will continue our journey to Badal Danda. We can see the clouds floating below us from Badal Danda.

Day 04: Trek to High camp (3,600m) and Acclimatization (2-3 hr walk)

We’ll be making a quick hike to High Camp today. A hike to the High Camp rewards hikers with breathtaking views of Mt. Fishtail, the Annapurna South, and numerous other mountain peaks. At High Camp, we relax and have lunch. We will take a short hike in the evening to help the body acclimate.

Day 05: Hike to Mardi Himal Base camp (4,500m) and Trek to low camp (3050m) (7-8 hr walk)

We hike to Mardi Himal Base Camp after rising early at 4 am. We grab the trekking poles and headlamp and head out on our hike. At the summit of the mountain peaks, the sun begins to rise, and this continues until we arrive at the Mardi Himal Viewpoint (4200m). Our final destination, the Mardi Himal Base Camp (4500m), will be reached by foot from Upper Viewpoint. After spending some time at MBC, we head back to the High Camp. After gathering our belongings, we will begin our descent, tracing our route to Low Camp.
