The trip will begin as soon as you land at the Kathmandu airport. We will pick you up and take you to your hotel, where you can enjoy some much needed rest. On the following day, you will get to explore the amazing city and all of its highlights. After Kathmandu, the journey through Annapurna will begin.
After a long and scenic drive to Beshisahar, we will start trekking. The long trek that will encompass so much of Annapurna will take you to a number of wonderful Nepalese villages. From Jagat and Dharapani to Chame, Tal, Pisang and more, you will get to immerse yourself in the amazing culture of the area. Richly Tibetan, you will get to spend many nights in different tea houses in the villages we will trek through. Moreover, you will get to meet and talk to the local people, and enjoy their delicious food and wonderful customs.
Throughout this trek, you will also get to enjoy some breathtaking views of the amazing Himalayas. From places like Minang, you will get to gaze at some of the largest peaks in the region, as the sun rises and sets.
Participants on this trip should be in good physical condition.
Full of long hikes, scenic drives and short, thrilling flights, this trek will create enough memories to last a lifetime. If you would like to experience it for yourself, just send me a request.
I can also lead you on a 10 day ascent of the amazing Stok Kangri in the Himalayas as well.
Meeting point
After you arrive at the airport, a representative will pick you up and take you to your hotel. At the hotel there will be a brief meeting about the trip to come. Afterwards, you can relax, enjoy a meal and get some sleep.
During the day, you can explore Kathmandu on a city tour. You will be able to see much of the city’s highlights, including the Bodhnath Stupa, which is one of the largest Buddhist shrines in the world, and Pashupatinath, and will get to walk around at your leisure before returning to your hotel for the night.
We will depart Kathmandu early in the morning on a long, scenic drive to Beshisahar. Once there, we will trek for approximately 2 hours to Bulbule where we will spend the night.
Today we will trek past a beautiful waterfall to Ngaddi. From there, we will cross a suspension bridge, and climb through a forest to Lampatta. After that, we will pass the village of Bahundanda, descend to the river at Syange, where we will cross the river and continue on until we reach Jagat, where we will spend the night.
Today we will cross another suspension bridge and climb through an oak forest until we reach the village of Tal. Afterwards, we will cross the river a few times before reaching the village of Dharapani, where we will spend the night.
During today’s trek, we will pass through several villages including Bagarchap, Dhanagyu and Temang, where you can gaze at amazing peaks like Manaslu. Finally, we will make our way to Chame, where we will spend the night.
Leaving the forests behind, we will make our way through alpine terrain to Brathang. From there, we will continue on, going higher, providing you with amazing views of Annapurna II before we reach Pisang, where we will spend the night.
Today, we will have 2 options as to which route we take to Manang. We can take the main trail, just under Braga, or take the shorter trail, which climbs a low pass into the valley below Pisang peak. After passing through Braga, we will make our way to Manang, where we will spend the night.
As you spend the day getting properly acclimatized, you will have plenty of opportunity to explore Manang, and enjoy the abundance of fantastic views of Gangapurna and the Annapurna massif.
We will make our way up to Yakkharka , where we will spend the night, by trekking out of the Marsyangdi valley and up the valley of Jarsang Khola. Once we reach Yakkharka, you will get to take some short, acclimatizing treks up the nearby hills.
For acclimatization purposes, today will be a short day, as we make our way up to the Thorong Phedi, where we will spend the night. Once there, you can walk up to the Thorong high camp and enjoy the views.
We will leave Thorong Phedi very early in the morning and make our way up to the Thorong-La pass. From the pass, you can gaze forward into Tibet, back at the Annapurnas and down at the Kali Gandaki chasm. Afterwards, we will descend to Muktinath, where we will spend the night.
After visiting a series of temples above Muktinath, we will cross the Jhong Khola and climb up to the village of Jhong, which you will get to explore. Afterwards, we will make our way to Kagbeni, where we will spend the night.
Today we will trek to Eklebhatti, where we will have lunch. After that, we will make our way to Jomsom, where we will spend the night.
We will wake up early and the morning and take a short, 40 minute flight to Pokhara. Once there, you can check into your hotel, take a shower, and spend the day and night at your leisure.
Today is a free day that you can spend how you please in Pokhara.
After breakfast, we will take a flight back to Kathmandu. Once there, you will have the day free to enjoy some sightseeing and do some last minute shopping.
On your final day, we will transport you to the Kathmandu airport, where you will catch your flight home.
More info
Participants must be least 13 years of age. There is an option to walk back to Pokhara instead of flying from Jomsom on day 15. If you choose this option, it will add 3 additional days if trekking to Beni, and another 2 days if you want to drive back from Jomsom, which would extend the trip to 21 days.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
