Singu Chuli Peak climbing

Normally, your arrival in Kathmandu is the day one of this trip. We will come to pick you up at the airport as per your flight time and transfer you to the hotel. There are no activities today apart from a trip briefing meeting. The information about the meeting time will be available upon your arrival at the hotel.

You have time to relax and go for any last-minute preparation for the trip. Welcome to Kathmandu!

On the second day of the trip, we have a long day drive to Pokhara. Our day starts pretty early in the morning and gets ready for the drive. We will go to the tourist bus station to board the bus to Pokhara.

It takes us 6-7 hours to drive 200 kilometers from Kathmandu to Pokhara. Although the drive is long for the distance, the scenic surroundings of the highway will ease the travel a bit. We will drive past small and beautiful towns and villages along the highway. Most of the time, we will drive along beautiful rivers.

Once we reach Pokhara 200 kilometers west of Kathmandu, we will have enough time to go around and explore the Lakeside. Pokhara offers an incredibly beautiful view of the Annapurna range. This peaceful city has various natural attractions like lakes, caves, mountains, and green surroundings.

We will spend quite a relaxing time in Pokhara after checking into the hotel.

We are going to begin the trekking adventure to Annapurna Sanctuary from today. Before the first day of the trek begins, we need to drive about 1.5 hours to Nayapul from Pokhara after breakfast. Once we reach Nayapul, we will get ready and excited to start the first day of trek to Annapurna Base Camp.

Our destination for the day is Ulleri village. It takes us about six hours walk to reach the village. The walk today is a relatively easy one except for the final part of the walk. The first 3-4 hours of the walk is along the dirt road and is an easy start. As soon as we start the walk, peaceful and beautiful natural surroundings take over. We trek to Tikhedhunga to start the final leg of the walk for the day which is a demanding uphill walk. Almost two hours of steep uphill walk on steps eventually will take us to Ulleri village where we stay overnight today at a teahouse. The beautiful village of Ulleri lies in the mountain slope surrounded by greenery and mountains.

After the first experience of staying overnight in a teahouse in the mountains of Nepal, we wake up for a beautiful morning. Our trek for the day will take us to Ghorepani and it is all uphill walk through the forest. As we traverse the trail through the forest, we slowly gain the elevation. It will take us about five hours to reach Ghorepani village to stay overnight.

While the natural surroundings of the trail keep us amazed during the walk, Ghorepani village has a breathtaking view of the mountains. When we reach Upper Ghorepani and if the weather is clear, we will get to see a beautiful view of the gigantic snow-capped mountains right in front of us.

We will spend the rest of the time at Ghorepani enjoying the wonderful view of the mountains and surroundings.

We will start the day really early today since we plan to hike up to Poon Hill for the sunrise. The hike starts much earlier, before the break of the dawn. It is about an hour’s steep uphill hike to reach Poon Hill from Ghorepani. We will make it to the Sunrise View Point to enjoy the amazing sunrise over the Himalayas. As the daylight appears, we can enjoy the magnificence of the mountains in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range of the Himalayas.

After the sunrise and spending some time at the top, we descend to Ghorepani and continue the walk for the day to Tadapani after breakfast. It will be another five hours of trekking up and down the mountains to Tadapani. Although the walk tests us with lots of uphill and downhill trails, it is certainly a beautiful walk through the forest and a beautiful view.

Once we reach Tadapani and settle into a teahouse for the night, we will spend time enjoying the view of the surrounding mountains.

Another beautiful trekking day in the Annapurna region starts after breakfast in Tadapani. We are trekking to a beautiful village in Chhomrong today. It will take us around six hours to reach Chhomrong to stay overnight. The walk for the day starts with a steep downhill trek to a river and then takes us all uphill and gradual descent to the destination for the day.

Once we reach the village to stay overnight, we can explore it for the rest of the day. It is a beautiful ethnic Gurung village on the trail to Annapurna Base Camp. While the village is a beautiful place to explore, its surroundings are also wonderful to enjoy.

We have now well adapted to the mountains and walking through the trails winding up and down the hills. The walk to Dovan today is another about six hours long but a beautiful one. We will traverse the trail down the hill to Modi Khola and cross the river to start the uphill walk. It is another day of beautiful nature walk in the mountains.

The peaceful surroundings of the trails that we trek on keep us with enthusiasm although the increasing elevation and long walk consumes our energy. The steep uphill walk to Dovan is a bit challenging but we will make it there eventually.

With each day of trekking, we are gaining elevation and getting closer to our final destination of the trek – Annapurna Base Camp. We will wake up for a beautiful morning in the mountain surroundings of Dovan. The walk for the day starts after relishing the breakfast today. We are trekking to Machhapuchhre Base Camp – the MBC – to stay overnight.

The trail meanders through rocky and steep cliffs along the Modi River. The surroundings along the trail bring the incredibly peaceful and magnificent views of the mountains. It takes more or less six hours of a moderately challenging walk up the mountains. We eventually reach our destination that has beautiful mountain surroundings for us to enjoy.

The day to reach the Annapurna Base Camp has finally arrived. We enjoy our breakfast at the MBC and head towards the ABC. The walk continues through the gorge and the higher we walk, the better views of the surrounding mountains start unveiling. We eventually reach the Annapurna Base Camp to be awestruck by the mesmerizing views of the surroundings. The base camp stands at the elevation of 4,130 meters above sea level and forms a beautiful mountain amphitheater overlooking the magnificence of gigantic mountains.

We will stay overnight at the ABC today so that we can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings for the entire day.

We will spend one extra day here at the Annapurna base camp to acclimatize before going further on our adventure. So we take rest at Annapurna Base Camp enjoying the beautiful view of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Annapurna III.

Today, we trek towards the Singu Chuli peak. The adventure for the day takes us to the base of Singu Chuli at the elevation of 4,200 meters above sea level. This adventure trek amongst the gigantic mountains gives us a beautiful memory to cherish. We come across so many wonderful things enjoy them before reaching the Singu Chuli base camp to stay overnight.

Our adventure for the day advances up to the high camp. The challenging walk to the high camp exposes us to the beautiful view as we struggle up towards the destination. When we reach the camp and settle, we will have plenty of time to exploit the beauty of the surroundings. Spending more time at this elevation allows us to get used to the altitude and prepare for the higher climb.

A big day of adventure today, it’s the camp I that we are heading to as our destination for the day. A tough effort to climb to the camp I from high camp exposes us to the thinning air as we go higher. We plod higher on a slow but gradual pace and eventually reach the camp to settle and take rest while acclimatizing.

Early this morning, we are setting our foot upon the trail towards the top of Singu Chuli that stands at the elevation of 6,501 meters above sea level. As we climb higher and the day starts breaking, we can enjoy the view of captivating mountains in the surroundings. It is a highly technical section of the climb where we need to use all climbing gear to be able to reach the top. We eventually reach the top and spend some marvelous moments to take pictures and enjoy the view. Later, descend all the way back to base camp.

We have a backup day to compensate for any possible delay on the trip due to various reasons.

If we use the contingency day in the climbing, we are trekking back to Machhapuchhre base camp today. Trekking all the way back to Machhapuchhre base camp after the climbing adventure is a great relief as we can breathe comparatively more oxygen.

We will trek back to bamboo today. Although it is a descent in elevation, the walk is going to be as long as seven hours. While heading down the hill, we will get to enjoy the surroundings from a different angle. We eventually reach the destination to spend a relaxing overnight.

Our trek for the day, mostly down the hill, takes us to Jhinu Danda via Chhomrong. It is about five hours of trek to reach the destination. Once we reach Jhinu Danda and settle into a teahouse, we will find some time to go for a relaxing and healing natural hot spring bath. About twenty minutes from the teahouse, there is a natural hot spring pool on the bank of Modi River.

We will go for a soothing bath at the hot spring after lunch.  Later, we will have an easy and relaxing day at Jhinu Danda.

We are on the final day of trekking in the mountains. Our walking adventure comes to an end once we reach Nayapul from Jhinu Danda. It is about five hours to walk on the Modi River Bank. We will walk mostly on the dirt road to Nayapul.

Once we reach Nayapul, we will get into the vehicle that is there to pick up us and drive to Pokhara. We will spend a relaxing evening on the Lakeside of Pokhara.

As we have completed our trekking journey, it’s time now to return back to Kathmandu. We will get ready for the early morning bus ride back to Kathmandu. It will take another seven hours to reach Kathmandu.

The trip has come to an end today. We have to bid farewell for this time hoping to meet again for another adventure soon. We will drive you to the airport for your departure flight as scheduled.
