The trail goes along small winding paths, through magical rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest at an elevation around 3,300 m. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape. From High Camp (3580 m; you can climb up to Mardi Himal Base Camp in about 3-4 hours, which offers spectacular close up views of the entire Annapurna Range.
There are simple guesthouses with private rooms along the entire route including hot shower facilities. After the hike, we will drive back to Pokhara, where you can enjoy a day sightseeing the popular city on Phewa Lake. You can try Paragliding (at your own cost), or simply enjoy the picturesque town.
