Day 2 begins with a wake-up call around 7:30 a.m. After breakfast, head to the Kathmandu Tourism Office to get essential trekking permits, such as TIMS and ACAP, which are required for Annapurna Base Camp.

Following this, you’ll start the journey from Kathmandu to Nayapul by private jeep, a scenic drive through Nepal’s countryside with views of terraced fields and surrounding mountains.

On arrival in Nayapul, check into a guesthouse, unwind, and rest up for the trek's first leg.

On Day 3, the trek officially begins. Depart from Nayapul (1,700 m) and head towards the village of Ghandruk (1,940 m), an area rich with culture and stunning views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchchhre peaks.

Take a break here for lunch before continuing your ascent toward Chhomrong (2,140 m), a beautiful village with guesthouses and traditional houses overlooking the mountains.

The day’s trekking will take around 6-7 hours before settling into your accommodation for the night.

On Day 4, leave Chhomrong and descend to the Chhomrong Khola River, crossing via a suspension bridge and starting a scenic climb through lush rhododendron forests.

Arrive at Bamboo Village (2,335 m) for a brief lunch stop in a serene forested area before continuing the trek.

The path takes you deeper into the dense forest, finally reaching Himalaya (2,920 m) in the evening after 6-7 hours of trekking.

Spend the night in a teahouse at Himalaya, taking in the quiet of this remote area.

Day 5 involves ascending further toward Machhapuchchhre Base Camp.

Leave Himalaya in the morning, passing through forests and waterfalls until you reach Deurali (3,200 m), a quiet village with an incredible view down the valley.

Stop here for lunch before the final climb up to Machhapuchchhre Base Camp (3,700 m), where you'll be surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, including close-up views of Machhapuchchhre and the Annapurna ranges.

After a day of 5-6 hours of trekking, settle into the teahouse here.

Day 6 begins early with a trek from Machhapuchchhre Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m).

The sunrise views over the surrounding peaks are breathtaking, providing a rewarding sense of accomplishment as you stand at the base of Annapurna’s impressive massif.

After soaking in the views and taking photos, begin the descent back down, eventually returning to Bamboo (2,335 m) for the night.

The entire day of trekking takes about 7-8 hours.

On Day 7, descend from Bamboo toward Jhinu Danda (1,725 m), a beautiful village known for its natural hot springs. Here, enjoy a soothing soak in the hot springs, a perfect way to relax after the challenging trek. After a refreshing break, continue trekking down to Nayapul, completing the Annapurna circuit in about 6-7 hours. Spend the night at Nayapul, resting up after a full day of hiking.
 

On Day 8, begin the journey back to Kathmandu. A private vehicle will take you from Nayapul, retracing the scenic route back to the capital.

Once you’re checked into your hotel, the evening is free for relaxing or exploring the local sights and markets of Kathmandu.

This could be a chance to unwind and celebrate the trek’s completion with a well-deserved meal at one of the city’s many restaurants.

Day 9 serves as a reserve day in Kathmandu, allowing for flexibility in case of delays during the trek or simply to rest and explore.

You could visit iconic sites such as Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, or Durbar Square, or shop for souvenirs in Thamel’s vibrant market area.

This extra day offers time to reflect on the trek and enjoy the sights of Kathmandu at your own pace.

On Day 10, you’ll prepare for your departure.

After checking out of the hotel, you’ll transfer to Tribhuvan International Airport for your flight back home, concluding an unforgettable journey through the Himalayas.
