Arrive in Kathmandu and transfer to your hotel. The day is kept free to rest and settle in before the Annapurna Circuit programme begins.

After breakfast, receive a short briefing about the Annapurna Circuit trek before exploring Kathmandu City, Swayambhunath and Patan Durbar Square. The day introduces the cultural and historical heritage of the Kathmandu Valley, with time in Thamel for trekking equipment if required.

After breakfast, drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar. From Besisahar, begin trekking towards Bahundanda, following the Marsyangdi River upstream and crossing suspension bridges before reaching the hillside settlement.

Continue upstream through a narrowing gorge, crossing bridges and passing small settlements before reaching Chamje. The changing architecture, vegetation and local culture become increasingly noticeable along the route.

Leave Chamje and continue through the increasingly impressive gorge into the district of Manang. The trail gradually climbs towards Bagarchap, where traditional houses, a local temple and views of the Annapurna and Lamjung Himal can be experienced.

Continue from Bagarchap through a narrow and picturesque valley surrounded by temperate broad-leaved forest. Reach Chame, the administrative centre of Manang, with its religious buildings and hot springs.

Continue through forests of pine, hemlock and cypress towards Pisang. The route reaches lower Pisang, with a side trip to higher Pisang offering views of Annapurna II.

Continue towards Manang using either the lower or higher route. The higher route provides outstanding views of the Annapurna Himal before the trails converge at Braga, home to an old monastery, before reaching Manang.

Spend a full day in Manang for rest and exploration. Visit nearby local houses and experience the surrounding settlement before continuing towards higher elevations.

Leave Manang and continue into higher terrain where facilities become increasingly limited. Cross small tributaries and follow pleasant meadows with occasional birch groves towards Latdar.

Continue gaining altitude gradually towards Thorong Phedi, the settlement at the foot of the high mountain pass. The day prepares the route for the following day's crossing of Thorong-La Pass.

Leave Thorong Phedi and climb steadily towards Thorong-La Pass, the highest point of the trek at approximately 5,416 metres. Cross the pass before descending towards Muktinath, an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists.

Trek from Muktinath towards Jomsom, passing through the Mustang region and the significant trading settlement of Kagbeni. Continue through the changing landscape with views towards Dhaulagiri before reaching Jomsom.

After breakfast, travel from Jomsom to Pokhara either by a short flight or by road. On arrival in Pokhara, check in at the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

After breakfast, enjoy a half-day sightseeing tour of Pokhara. The afternoon is free to explore and relax around Lakeside.

After breakfast, drive from Pokhara back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, check in at the hotel and enjoy free time in the afternoon before a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.

After breakfast, transfer to the international airport for your onward flight, bringing the Annapurna Circuit Trek journey to an end.
