The journey begins in Pokhara, a beautiful city in Nepal. From there, you will drive to a small town called Nayapul.

The trail is surrounded by beautiful nature, and you will pass through rice fields and thick forests full of rhododendron trees.
Each day of the trek brings something new. You will stop at different villages to rest and enjoy the local culture. One of the first stops is Ghorepani, a popular place for trekkers. From here, you can hike to Poon Hill, which offers one of the best sunrise views in Nepal. The sight of the sun rising over the snow-covered mountains is something you will never forget.
The trek continues through beautiful places like Tadapani, Chomrong, and Sinuwa. As you walk, you’ll notice that the air becomes thinner as you climb higher.
