Overview

EPIC 5-DAY ADVENTURE: Gaze up at Mt. Annapurna, the tenth highest peak on earth, in just five action-packed days. This fast-paced trek maximizes your Himalayan experience, blending pure mountain fun with breathtaking landscapes. Furthermore, our graceful timeline ensures you experience the absolute best of the region without wasting a single moment.

SYNCHRONIZED DEPARTURES: Whether you start from Kathmandu at 7:00 AM or Pokhara at 8:00 AM, you will reach the trailhead at the exact same time.

Both routes merge seamlessly into a swift jeep transfer to Simrung.
