Tour Plan
Welcome to Kathmandu! Upon arrival, our guide will meet you at the airport and escort you to our ashram guest house. Spend the day exploring nearby markets and shopping for equipment. In the evening, a team member will provide a trek briefing
After an early breakfast, embark on a 6–7 hour scenic drive to Pokhara, enjoying views of rivers, terraced fields, and mountains along the way. Upon arrival, check in to a lakeside hotel and spend the evening relaxing by Phewa Lake.
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Pokhara and drive to Sikles, a scenic journey of approximately 3 hours via a rugged mountain road. Located at an elevation of around 1,980 meters, Sikles is one of the largest and oldest Gurung settlements in the Annapurna region. After arrival, take time to explore the cobbled lanes, traditional houses, and local museum, gaining insight into the Gurung community's rich cultural heritage, customs, and attire. You may also enjoy views of Lamjung Himal and Annapurna II in the distance. Overnight at a local lodge in Sikles.
Begin your trek from Sikles to Tasha, a 6 to 7-hour journey through beautiful mixed forests of rhododendron, oak, and pine. The trail ascends gradually, passing terraced fields, grazing pastures, and small herder shelters. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as Himalayan langurs, barking deer, and a variety of bird species like the Himalayan monal (Nepal’s national bird) and blood pheasant. Overnight at a basic teahouse or tented camp in Tasha.
Today’s trek is a steady ascent of about 5 hours to Kori Danda, a breathtaking alpine viewpoint at 3,850 meters. The trail opens into high meadows and yak grazing pastures, with increasingly expansive views of the Annapurna and Lamjung ranges. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best panoramic vistas in the region, including Annapurna II, IV, Lamjung Himal, and possibly Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Kori is also a sacred site for local Gurungs, often visited during special festivals. Overnight at a tented camp or seasonal teahouse, depending on availability.
Wake up early to catch the sunrise over the Himalayan peaks—an unforgettable sight. After breakfast, retrace your steps downhill to Tasha, enjoying a different perspective of the pristine landscapes and vibrant vegetation along the way. Overnight at the same teahouse or campsite in Tasha.
Today, you descend back to Sikles village, trekking through serene forest trails and open terraces. This final walking day offers time to reflect on your mountain journey and revisit the cultural charm of Sikles. Overnight at a local lodge in Sikles.
After breakfast, enjoy a scenic 3-hour drive back to Pokhara, descending through forested hills, river valleys, and traditional villages.
End of trek.
After breakfast, return to Kathmandu on a 6–7 hour scenic drive. You may choose to extend your journey with optional activities such as a Chitwan jungle safari, white-water rafting, a Kathmandu valley shopping tour, a scenic Everest flight, mountain biking, or other adventure experiences.
We bid you farewell as your incredible journey in Nepal comes to an end. If time allows, enjoy some last-minute shopping or sightseeing. Approximately 3–4 hours before your flight, a representative from AuroNepal Trek will escort you to the airport. As you head home, take with you unforgettable memories and dreams of your next adventure in this beautiful country.
