After breakfast, you will drive from Pokhara to Tatopani, following the dramatic Kali Gandaki River valley. Tatopani is famous for its natural hot springs, where you may enjoy a relaxing soak if time permits.
From Tatopani, your actual trek begins as you ascend gradually toward Upper Narchyang, a traditional Gurung village surrounded by terraced fields and forested hills. The trail offers insight into rural mountain life and local culture.

This day marks the beginning of the more remote and rugged section of the trek. After breakfast, you will leave the village behind and walk through dense forests, stone staircases, and narrow mountain paths.
You will cross Lekhgaun, Ghalemdi, and Mristi Khola, passing waterfalls, grazing pastures, and pristine natural scenery. As there are no permanent lodges beyond this point, you will experience true wilderness trekking.
Overnight: Tented Camp or Local Homestay

Today’s trek continues through increasingly alpine terrain. The trail climbs gradually past streams, steep hillsides, and stunning waterfalls, offering breathtaking mountain views along the way.

You will pass through the remote settlement of Humkhola, a rarely visited area that highlights the isolation and beauty of the Annapurna North region. The day ends at Sadhi Kharka, an open meadow used as a seasonal campsite.
Overnight: Tented Camp

This is the most exciting and rewarding day of the entire trek. After an early start, you will hike uphill through glacial terrain toward the North Base Camp of Annapurna I.
As you gain altitude, the surrounding landscape becomes dramatic, with towering icefalls, rugged cliffs, and panoramic views of Annapurna I (8,091 m), Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, and surrounding peaks.
Upon reaching base camp, you will have time to explore, take photographs, and absorb the historic significance of this legendary mountaineering route.

After enjoying a sunrise view over the Himalayas, you will begin your descent from base camp. The trail passes through rhododendron forests, alpine meadows, and streams fed by melting glaciers.
This region is rich in biodiversity, and lucky trekkers may spot Himalayan birds, blue sheep, or other wildlife. The day is shorter and more relaxed, allowing time to enjoy the surroundings.
Overnight: Tented Camp at Busket Mela

Today’s trek takes you across the Thulo Bugin Pass, one of the highest and most scenic points on the route. From the pass, you descend toward the Mustang region, experiencing a noticeable change in landscape and climate.

If time, weather, and fitness allow, an optional hike to Titi Lake can be arranged. The trail then continues downhill to the village of Lete, located in the Kali Gandaki valley.
