Mention code 6068596 | | Intrepid Travel | | | | Day | Destination | Description | | Days 1-2 | Kathmandu | Modern and historical, Kathmandu swarms with life and colour. Meet the monkeys while climbing to Swayambhunath, walk around the mammoth Boudhanath Stupa and delve into the magical history of Durbar Square in the Old City. | | Day 3 | Bhaktapur | The ancient city of Bhaktapur is a haven of intricate temples, grand old palaces and vibrant courtyards. Few cars enter the Old City, so wandering through the paved streets and narrow alleyways it is easy to get a sense of what Kathmandu was like before the modern world came knocking. | | Day 4 | Pokhara | Temples and palaces are replaced by soaring mountains and glass-like lakes. Once a vibrant trade route between India and Tibet, Pokhara later became a hippy hangout. These days it is the gateway to some of Nepal's greatest treks. | | Days 5-14 | Annapurna Ranges | Trek through lowland pastures, past peaceful villages, thundering waterfalls and powerful glaciers, surrounded always by unspeakably beautiful mountainscapes. While trekking the Annapurna Sanctuary is challenging, it allows you to experience the Nepalese mountains without the major issues associated with high altitude - the optional trek to the Annapurna base camp (4,130 m) is as high as we go. Staying in basic teahouses operated by the locals offers us the opportunity to learn about the daily lives of the Nepali hill people. | | Days 15-16 | Pokhara | The final trek is downhill all the way. Back in Pokhara enjoy a well-earned shower and end of trek celebration. There is plenty of time to relax, recover and reminisce. |
