This journey blends Himalayan trekking, cultural immersion, and safari-style wildlife exploration. Beginning in Kathmandu, guests enjoy guided touring, world-class hospitality, and time to explore the city at their own pace. The adventure continues with a four-day lodge-to-lodge trek through the Annapurna foothills, featuring panoramic mountain views, comfortable accommodations, and meaningful interactions with local communities.
Led by Himalaya veteran Gary P. Scott, his wife Katarina, and Lead Sherpa Guide Tanzing, the trek follows well-built village trails with steady ascents and descents on stone steps—similar in difficulty to walking tours in the Dolomites, Slovakia, and Portugal. Each day includes 2–5 hours of trekking, optional walks, and comfortable evenings at deluxe mountain lodges with hot showers, excellent meals, and breathtaking scenery.
After returning to Pokhara, guests enjoy a heli flight into the Annapurna Base Camp area—an unforgettable highlight included in the trip cost—before flying to Chitwan National Park. The final days feature canoeing, wildlife viewing, cultural experiences, and relaxation at the Five-Star Kasara Jungle Resort. The itinerary concludes with a return to Kathmandu and a free day to explore before departure.
Designed as an easy, low-stress trek, this itinerary offers a rich blend of landscapes, traditions, and natural beauty. Comfortable lodging, escorted transfers, internal flights, and carefully selected guides ensure a seamless and memorable Himalayan experience.
