After having early breakfast, leave Kathmandu on a tourist bus, enjoy the scenery on the way until you get to Pokhara. Check into one of the cozy hotel in Pokhara at Lake side, evening stroll around lake side. In Pokhara.

Pokhara is situated at an elevation of 915m above sea level and 200 km west of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The richness of valley in pure natural beauty is indeed one of the main attractions to the visitors from all over the world. Just imagine the joy of observing the majestic Himalayas, three peaks above 8000m from an elevation of below 1000m within a very close aerial, distance. The valley is equally superb giving as they do elevated close-ups to the snowy peaks. The serenity of Phewa Lake and the magnificence summits like Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) (6977m) and the five peaks of Annapurna range rising behind it create an ambience of peace and magic. Pokhara is the land of the Magars and Gurungs who have earned worldwide fame as Gurkha soldiers. Brahmins, Chhetris and Thakalis are other major communities here. You stay near the famous Phewa Lake. Boating or just strolling around lake is fabulous.

After an early breakfast, drive to Kande where your trek begins towards Pothana. Today is the first day of your trek! The trail ascends through forests of rhododendron, magnolia, oak, sandalwood, and pine until you reach the village called Australian camp. This is an authentic Gurung village, which gives you an opportunity to look at the magnificent views of the Annapurna ranges, as well as notable peaks like Lamjung Himal. From Australian camp, the trail continues to ascend along a stone-paved path through more forests and mossy trees. When you get to the Pothana that has trekker facilities including shops, teahouses, and eateries. Relax and enjoy the magnificent mountain views. Trekking time: 5 hours (3.5 miles / 6 km)

Today, you will leave the popular trekking trail and head off the beaten path. You'll enter an enchanted forest of birch, giant rhododendron, mountain oak, maple, and hemlock. If the weather is clear, you'll see stunning mountain views throughout the day.

As you climb, the flora transitions to ‘cloud forest’ with mosses and lichen, tree ferns and orchids hosted by the hardier trees. Through breaks in the forest, you'll have beautiful panoramas—towards Hiunchuli and the knife-sharp traverse towards Annapurna South. Far below, to your left, you can see the Modi Khola Valley leading up into the Annapurna Sanctuary. You will reach camp at lunchtime, as you'll want to walk slowly today given the gain in altitude (walk at an even pace where you do not lose your breath). Though still surrounded by forest, you will have spectacular views of Machapuchare to the north.

A short, steep climb and you're out of the forest. A ridge, now grassy and sometimes under snow, takes you up to High Camp where you'll reach at lunchtime and where a second consecutive afternoon is spent acclimatizing and enjoying the views. Annapurna South seems near enough to throw a rock at and Machhapuchare itself close enough to touch.

Today, you will have breakfast earlier than usual. With a packed lunch, you will then set off to Mardi Himal Base Camp. Conditions being favorable, you should reach up to 5,000m and only the crest of Mardi Himal itself will separate you from the south face of Machhapuchare. The great ice fields and blue glaciers of the Sanctuary Wall lie below. Annapurna I, highest of all is beyond, and around you, and an arc from horizon to horizon, from Dhaulagiri to the Ganesh Himal, are a dozen or more glistening snow-bound giants. You have reached the main goal of the trek. A place, a time, a view that is almost impossible to equal—and you’ve earned it. Return back around 1 pm as wind starts.

After a relaxed breakfast, tired bodies make an unhurried decent through the shade of the forest and out onto terraced fields, down 1600m in all. This is a different route down—down to the upper Mardi Khola, the torrent that has been the ice and snow of the Mardi Himal. Although remote and still away from all the much-used ‘Teahouse’ trekking routes, the trek now takes on the mood of the arm valley and the friendly villages into Kalimati.

The path from Siding now follows the contour of the river valley gradually down between the pastures and through Tamang and Gurung villages. Lwang village has organic tea gardens. In the evening, you'll meet a mothers' group that is a part of an organization that works to raise money for local projects. Tonight, you will experience a unique homestay with locals.

Soon the trail skirts an outcrop—there’s the road, and there’s your transport, and soon you will back in Pokhara celebrate your trek with a nice shower.
