Overview

Handcrafted by Ghale Treks & Expedition, this private journey transforms the classic Australian Camp and Dhampus foothill trail into an "Elite Executive Luxury" Himalayan retreat. Designed for corporate leaders, high-net-worth travelers, and active luxury seekers wanting a shorter itinerary, this program eliminates exhausting highway travel by integrating scheduled domestic flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Clients indulge in 5-star heritage hospitality at Hotel Yak & Yeti or Dusit Princess in Kathmandu and Fishtail Lodge or Pokhara Grande in Pokhara, paired with the best available boutique mountain lodges along the trail. Guests experience golden sunrise and sunset panoramas over Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). The journey concludes with private guided heritage tours in Pokhara and UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, culminating in an exclusive Ghale Treks VVIP Gala Farewell Dinner.
