This serene city with natural astonishment like freshwater lakes, holy caves and temples, natural waterfall, quiet Lakeside streets, cozy modern restaurants and hotels, and mountain views, including Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, fascinate every kind of tourist. From Pokhara city, we take 2 hours to drive to Nayapool and begin hiking.

    We ascend via beautiful country settlements, lush forests, and melodious natural waterfalls to Tikhedhunga. More than 3 thousand steps while ascending Ghorepani via Ulleri sometimes turns out to be challenging to beginners. However, the spectacular achievement while ascending Ghorepani via the lush forest and cascading waterfalls will be a magnificent experience.

We celebrate our significant achievement with an incredible mountain panorama while arriving at Annapurna Base Camp. We spend a night here and trek back along the same trail to Jhino.

    Jhino is popular for natural hot springs. We dip our exhausted bodies into the lukewarm water and get refreshed. We then, trek to Nayapool and take a short drive to Pokhara to end our Annapurna Base Camp via Poonhill Trek.
