Clients indulge in premier 5-star hospitality at The Soaltee Kathmandu, Autograph Collection or Hotel Radisson in Kathmandu, and The Pavilions Himalayas The Farm or Fishtail Lodge in Pokhara, paired with the best available boutique mountain lodges along the trail. Standing at Mardi Himal Base Camp (4,500m), guests take in dramatic, up-close views of Mount Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and the Annapurna Massif. The journey concludes with private guided heritage tours in Pokhara and UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, culminating in an exclusive Ghale Treks Gala Farewell Dinner.
