Multi Activity Trip In Nepal Trek Kayak And Safari

From Kathmandu, you will take an early bus to Pokhara- the famous tourist hub of the country. The drive takes about 6 hours and along the journey, you can enjoy the scenic view of terrace farms, rivers, and vast pastures. As you near the city, you can also catch your first glimpse of the Annapurna range. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel, and in the evening, you can also enjoy a leisurely boat ride on the beautiful Phewa Lake. Overnight stay at the hotel in Pokhara.

From Pokhara, you will have a short drive to the village of Phedi. From there, the trek begins as you follow the path to the beautiful village of Pothana. The trekking trail is laden with rhododendron trees, and the environment is lush with the greenery of trans-Himalayan Pinewoods. From Pothana, the trekking trail then leads to the settlement of Pitam Deurali, where the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary is located. Overnight stay at the guesthouse.

Turning away from the main sanctuary trail, you will instead climb towards the Forest Camp, following a path that coruscates through the valley forests. Once you start gaining elevation, the path clears away from the forest and opens out towards Himalayan fields. You can get good views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Peaks from Forest Camp. Overnight stay.

From Forest Camp, you will follow the trail to Low Camp. The views of the Annapurna Mountains along the trekking journey are quite amazing; the Himalayan peaks tower over the valley dramatically. While ascending, you will start to notice the change in the vegetation as well, as the rhododendron woods are replaced with moist forests of maple and oak with the thick growth of lichen and wood-moss. Low Camp has a sparse number of lodges. Overnight stay at Low Camp.

From Low Camp, you will make your way to High Camp today, following a steep flat path through the wet woodlands. As you hike up to High Camp, the trail breaks out once the tree line is crossed. The wood clearing presents marvelous views of the Himalayas, with the Annapurna South and the Hiunchuli Himal towers beautifully on the horizon to the west of the trail. The broken trail continues towards the Mardi Himal ridge where many colorful Danphe birds can be seen. Finally, the trail arrives at High Camp. Overnight stay at High Camp.

Early in the morning, you can witness the breathtaking phenomenon of the sun rays flowing down the silver mountains of the Annapurna. It is simply indescribable. After enjoying the panoramic views of the Himalayas, you will then trek along a well-established path through the grassy slope to Mardi Himal Base Camp. Along the way, you can also see many Dzos (yak/cow crossbreeds) grazing in the pasture fields. You will also pass by many herders' huts. After taking in the views from the base camp, you will then trek back to High Camp. Overnight stay at High Camp.

While returning, you will follow another route that winds around the valley. From High Camp, you will get back to Low Camp, from where the trail goes steeply towards the Siding village- a traditional settlement hidden away from the busy trekking trails of the region. It is a peaceful little village where goats and cows loiter about the cobbled streets. Overnight stay at the guesthouse at Siding village.

From Siding, you will first trek for about 3 hours to the village of Lumre, passing by the ethnic Brahmin villages of Kalimati and Ghalel. At Lumre, a car or a jeep will take you back to Pokhara; the drive takes about 2 hours. Overnights stay at the Hotel in Pokhara.

From Pokhara, you will bid farewell to the Annapurna Mountains and drive to Damauli, following the highway alongside the river. From there, you will begin your rafting, riding along the fast-flowing rapids of the Seti River. After the kayak, you will then drive to Chitwan National Park. Overnight stay at the Hotel.

This day is reserved for a full jungle safari and other national park activities. You will enjoy a safari through the woods on the back of an elephant, looking at wild animals in their natural habitat. The National Park also has an elephant breeding center. You will also enjoy a river cruise on the Rapti River where you can observe the wild Ghoral alligators. In the evening, you can enjoy a Tharu culture program organized by the park. Overnight stay at the hotel.

From Chitwan, you will today have a drive back to Kathmandu, following the same highway as before. Upon reaching the city, you will be transferred to your Hotel. Overnight stay at the hotel.

Approximately three hours before your scheduled flight, you will be dropped off at the airport for your departure.
