Welcome to Nepal. Our company agent will collect you from the Kathmandu airport. After all airport procedures, we will drive you to the hotel in our company vehicle. After reaching there, you may take some rest and have refreshments. Lately in the evening, we’ll brief about our trip, which is going to start from tomorrow. Meanwhile in the evening, you’ll stroll in the market

Early in the morning, we will load into the tourist bus and make an exciting journey to Pokhara. Traveling along the extreme Kathmandu road through the noise and traffic, we will leave Kalanki and then ascend the 2250 m high Thankot Pass.

After traveling down from the Pass, the wide open road of Prithvi Highway will take us to the very busy Trishuli Market right next to the Trishuli River.

As we keep going, the smooth Mugling-Narayanghat Highway will now lead our way and direct us to the beautiful little Newari town of Bandipur. As we travel further, the beautiful silhouettes of Fishtail, the five Annapurna summits, Dhaulagiri, Langtang, Manaslu, and Ganesh will begin to appear in the distance. Up above the small hill, we can also see the Manakamana Temple of Goddess Durga. Eventually, the sparkling clear waters of Begnas and Rupa can be seen hinting we are in Pokhara – a wonderful valley located on the banks of Phewa Lake, also known as the Best resort in the world

We will drive to Hum Khola following our hotel breakfast. After passing via Kande, Nayapul, Kusma, Parbat, and other places, the drive first leads us to Baglung. With a few exceptions, the route from Pokhara to Baglung is generally decent. After three hours of driving from Pokhara, we arrive in Baglung. It takes longer to go to Hum Khola because the road after Baglung is completely off-road. We drive to Tatopani after passing via Beni. Here at Tatopani, we shall eat lunch.

We take in the view of the steep valleys as we travel toward Hum Khola after Tatopani. There are hydropower tunnels, lots of trucks and dozers on the building site, and many of garages because hydropower projects are being carried out here. As we cross the Kali Gandaki River on a bridge, we will also be able to take in the breathtaking beauty as it flows through valleys. We will arrive at the Hum Khola after six hours of traveling from Pokhara, which takes two hours from Tatopani. The single teahouse here is a modest, simple one, and it is the last stop on motorable roads. We can not even sleep at this tea house because it is so basic. We can acquire some supplies here, though, if we fail to pack some from Pokhara. A massive water reservoir is visible, and a hydropower office keeps track of the project’s development.

We set up our tents and prepare our dinner. Spend the night at Hum Khola.

We will begin our second day of the North Annapurna Base Camp Trek after breakfast. We will hike gently to reduce the risk of altitude sickness because Busket Mela is approximately 3,650 meters (11,975 feet) above sea level. We will arrive at Futfutey, a spectacular waterfall, after an hour of hiking. We shall pause here to take in the splendor of this immaculate waterfall. We will continue walking to Sandikharka, a shelter set about halfway down the trail. Here, we savor our munchies and relax.

After an additional hour of hiking, we arrive at Ghupaphant, another shelter. Between the cliffs, we can see Tilicho Peak from here. From here, we hike for another hour to reach Busket Mela. We hike for six hours before arriving at Busket Mela. We need power banks to charge our phones because we can not obtain energy from here. Additionally, there are no connectivity networks or signals during the hike from Hum Khola to Busket Mela; however, there are two shelters at Busket Mela that are close to where we will set up our tents. We take filtering tablets as soon as we arrive at the neighboring river, which provides drinking water, so that we can consume it more quickly. Here, we will set up our tents and cook.

The calming sound of running water will wake you up in the morning by the river. We had breakfast and then headed to the campsite. There are rugged pathways and towering rock formations along the 4190-meter trekking route from Busket Mela to the Campsite.

We take a break, rehydrate, and then hike after we reach a higher elevation. We will encounter numerous waterfalls and tiny streams along the way throughout our four hours of hiking. As we continue walking, we can make out the sign pointing to SunKhola, also known as the River of Gold because of the golden hues of the stones that can be discovered there. After more hiking, we arrive at the 4050-meter Campsite. Although it is only a 30-minute hike to the 4190-meter North Annapurna Base tent, there are no overnight shelters, so we set up tent at the Panchakunda Lake Campsite. We set up our tent, make dinner, and spend the night at the campsite.

We will Hike  for North Annapurna Base Camp following breakfast. You can see a lot of wild animals here because the area is pristine and remote. The most prevalent livestock in this area are Himalayan blue sheep. Here is a Shiva temple that may be seen after a short hike. Pancha Kunda, another name for Narchyang, is a lake. It is a well-known lake among pilgrims who are Buddhist and Hindu. You may experience this natural lake in its purest form without any human interference because it is pristine and turquoise blue.

We will then go in the direction of the Base Camp. The elevation of North Annapurna Base Camp is 4,190 meters (1,3747 feet). The North Nilgiri (7061 m), Nilgiri Central (6940 m), Nilgiri South (6839 m), Tilicho peak (7134 m), Bharha Chuli at (7647 m), Khangsar Kang (also known as Roc Noir, 7485 m), and Annapurna I (8091 m) are all breathtakingly visible from this location. We hike back to Hum Khola after thoroughly enjoying the mountain scenery.

It takes five to six hours to hike back to Hum Khola from base camp. We climb along the same path and then drive to the Tatopani, where a vehicle will be waiting for us at Hum Khola. We will unwind by taking a dip in the local hot spring.

Our adventure to North Annapurna Base Camp comes to an end today. We can jump into Tatopani’s hot waters once more after breakfast. We will next travel to Pokhara in a Jeep. Your North ABC journey comes to an end when we reach your motel, following four hours of highway driving. If you intend to travel to Kathmandu, Jomosm, or even the south Annapurna base camp hike, you can discuss your options with us. As your trip companion, we will support you.

Say goodbye to Pokhara and take the tourist bus back to Kathmandu. This is where our ABC trek via Poon Hill program ends, until the next meeting in the mountains.

The program includes one more night in a hotel in Kathmandu for those who fly out the next day.

The Everest summit treks team will accompany everyone at the airport according to the flight time provided by the group. Thank you for joining us, see you on the next journey to explore the land.
