DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 1: KATHMANDU TO KANDE AND TREK TO AUSTRALIAN BASE CAMP
Today we will all meet at 7 am in Jamal, Kathmandu. We will take a private transfer from Kathmandu to Kande. The ride will be like 5-6 hours via road. We will do lunch at Malekhu at 10 am. We will reach Kande at around 4 pm. We will take a short break there and hike from Kande to Australian Base Camp (2hrs). We will be staying at Australian Base Camp.
Day 2: AUSTRALIAN BASE CAMP TO FOREST CAMP
We will do Breakfast in Kande. Some 4 hours of jungle walk will bring us to a clearing of the forest at Forest Camp or also known by the locals as Kokar, here we take a break then we still continue to up to Low Camp through the forest however as we ascend the vegetation starts to change with more rhododendron and the trees are covered with moss, lichen, and tree ferns. We will be staying at Forest Camp.
Day 3: FOREST CAMP TO HIGH CAMP
We will do Breakfast and start our trek from Forest Camp to High Camp (3150m). Our 6 hours of trek through the rhododendron forest takes us to Middle camp and then to Badal Danda offers a stunning view of Mardi Himal, Annapurna South, Hiuchuli, Gangapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Mardi Himal itself. An hour or so above Low Camp the trail breaks out above a tree line and towards the west, there is a good view of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. We will stay at High Camp on this day.
Day 4: HIGH CAMP TO MARDI BASE CAMP AND RETURN BACK TO SIDING
The plan for today is to wake early for a sunrise view of the mountains then after an early breakfast walk up the ridge towards Mardi Himal Base Camp. There is a well-established trail through the grass with a couple of steeper sections however overall not too challenging. Look out for the dzokpo (yak/ cow crossbreds) grazing up here as well as the Danphe pheasant. In the summer the sheep and goats from lower villages are brought up to graze in this area so you will pass a number of herder’s huts along the way.
After three hours you should reach Base Camp at an elevation of 4500m this is where one can look into the Annapurna Sanctuary and the panorama view is spectacular looking at the south face of Annapurna and all of the peaks in the Sanctuary as well as Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Then we will return back to a Siding (1750m) which is like 5 hours from base camp. We will be staying overnight at Siding.
Day 5: SIDING TO POKHARA
We will do Breakfast in the morning and take a private transfer from Siding to Pokhara which is like 2 hours. Then we will have lunch at Pokhara hotel and do half-day sightseeing which includes Phewa lake, Davi’s fall, and Mahendra Cave. The guest can have some free time for themselves and return back hotel by 12 pm.
Day 6: POKHARA TO KATHMANDU
Today will be the last day of our trek. We will do Breakfast in the morning and will check out from the hotel. We will take a private transfer from Pokhara hotel to Kathmandu.
