Your

half drive.Nayapul is a small trading town situated at the bank of Modi River.
It is about an hour walk from this place to Bhurjung Khola, which passes via
Birethanti, a larger Village with many Local Inns and Tea Houses. Lunch will
be taken here. After Lunch it is a steep climb on stone paved path for almost
a good hour and half to Hille. From here the trail is easier all the way to
Tirkhedhunga. Overnight lodge at Tirkhedhunga
Day 02 After early breakfast, the
trail descends and after crossing the Bhurundi Stream, a steep climbing
begins to reach Ulleri. It takes about 3 Hours from Tirkhedhunga to Ulleri.
From here one can have a very close view of Annapurna South and
Machhapuchare - the Fishtail Mountain. Lunch will be served a little further
at Naya Thanti. After Lunch the trail climbs steadily through a dense
rhododendron forest for about four hours to reach Ghorepani. Overnight in
lodge at Ghorepani.
Day 03 Early in the morning
before breakfast, an excursion to Poon Hill at (10530-ft) can be organised
for those with a spirit of adventure. Poon Hill is the spot to view the
majestic panorama of the Himalayas. A close up view of Dhalaugiri and the
Annapurna Massif including Machhapuchare the sacred Mountain await for you
at Poon Hill. The hike to and back from Poon Hill is approximately one and
half-hours. After breakfast, the trail from Ghorepani to Tadapani goes
through thick pine and rhododendron forest with occasional ascends and
descends, but the walk today may be considered flat on the ridge top as a
whole. We stop for lunch at Tadapani at (8900-ft.). After lunch, the major
part of the trail is descending downhill through scattered villages. After
lunch, the trail descends all the way to the fairly large Gurung settlement
Ghandrung. The view of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli add beauty to this
beautiful village. Overnight lodge at Ghandrung.

a suspension bridge then ascend to Landrung village. Annapurna and
Machhapuchhre are clearly visible from the trail. The trail goes through
scattered trees and bushes and starts to ascend steeply after about an hour.
The steady climb to Deurali will take approx two hours. From Deurali, one
can have a fine view of Annapurna south and Dhaulagiri Mountain, which is
the highest in the western Nepal. The trail from Deurali descends gradually
all the way to Dhampus for overnight stay at lodge. Lunch will be taken
en-route.
Day 05 After breakfast, it is an easy walk
along the ridge passing through scattered villages and paddy fields for
