Day 2
Flight t o Pokhara drive to Nayapul and trek to Ghandruk (1,940m)

This is the first step towards the Annapurna Basecamp. We will take the morning flight to Pokhara then drive to Nayapul and trek to Ghandruk. Our outward trekking trail will take us along the western side of the valley where we will ascend through beautiful Rhododendron forests and pass through many small and welcoming villages. Take your time and make time for a cup of tea and bite to eat as you go. Make sure you have your camera ready as you approach and walk over the amazing suspension bridge as you near Ghandruk. As you ascend the valley the views to spectacular Himalayan peaks just get better and better - your guide will no doubt point out Madi Himal (5,553m), the sacred Mount Machhapuchhre (6,997m) also known as Mount Fishtail and towering Annapurna III (7,555m). We finish today at Ghandruk with an opportunity to watch a fantastic sunset over the countless peaks of the Annapurna Massif.
Day 3
Ghandruk to Sinuwa (2,360)

Breakfast and trek uphill and downhill trek to Sinuwa passing small villages, river and jungles for 6/7 hours, frequently gazing the great view of Annapurna and Fishtail mountains.
Day 4
Sinuwa to Deurali (3,230m)

Breakfast and trek for 6 hours mostly on the forest of bamboo, rhododendron and oak forest with the pleasant view of waterfall, temple and cave.
Day 5
Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m)

Above Deurali the valley widens and becomes less steep. After walking some stone staircase we reach at the place where some people were killed by avalanche a decade ago. We should not stop in this possible dangerous place for long time. This place is warned of avalanche so continue trek ahead with aware until you get to safe place. As you walk further, more beautiful White Mountains are seen and close. The trail turns to the left in the valley after Machhapuchhre Base Camp and it is pleasant walk up ABC though the air is thinner now. You may feel at the high altitude now. It is recommended not rush and walk gently. Now you can see the one of best 360˙degree Mountain View in world from Base Camp. There are tremendous views of giant Annapurna I 8091m, Annapurna South 7219m, Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail) 6997m and several other wonderful peaks.
Day 6
Annapurna Base Camp and descend back to Sinuwa (2,360m)

We start our trek early today to try and reach Annapurna Base Camp in time to see the best of the morning sunrise as it spreads its rays over the countless icy peaks and the valley that surrounds us. On the way to Annapurna Base Camp from Machhapuchhre Base Camp the scrubby vegetation fades to just a little grass and lots of rock, snow and ice depending upon the season. We are now in the very heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary as the valley widens under the grinding power of the glacier. The multi-summit mountain wall of Annapurna South (7,219m) to Annapurna i (8,091m) now towers in front of us. We stand in a snowy mountain caldren of unmatched natural beauty. Take your time to soak in the scenery and take lots and lots of photos. Your guide will point out the main mountain peaks and the routes brave clinbers have followed to reach their summit. But eventually we must depart and commence our return down the glacier valley. The descent will be much faster than our ascent and we will end the day at the village of Sinuwa not far from Chhomrong.
Day 7
Sinuwa – Phedi – Pokhara Overnight in Hotel (900m)

In the morning after breakfast we will leave Tolka and walk down the crest of the main ridge heading south. We will pass through beautiful forests and carefully tended terraced farmlands as we briefly visit the villages of Pitam Deurali, Pothana and skirt the wonderful little village of Dhampus. These final ridges near Dhampus deliver the final spectacular Annapurna mountain views of the trek. We then descend steeply to the valley floor and the village of Phedi where our transport will await us for the very short journey back to Pokhara.
Day 8
Pokhara/ Kathmandu fight, free day in Kathmandu

After breakfast in the morning you say goodbye to Pokhara and flight to Kathmandu. In the afternoon free day of your own.
Day 9
Departure

Our representative will pick you up from your hotel 3 hours prior of your flight time for your departure to your home country.

We had a great experience with Lang Tang Ri Trekking (LTR). Our guide, Pasang, was so friendly, helpful and obviously an expert on the trek, and our porter, Jangbu, was a sweet and helpful guy (though we couldn't communicate much given the language gap). The director, Pamfa, was so helpful in promptly answering our myriad questions. My wife ended up getting sick towards the top and Pasang and Jangbu helped us coordinate so that she could descend and sleep while I went up to ABC with Pasang. While we would have been able to figure things out on our own, it was so nice to have those guys along to suggest good restaurants, carry the load, negotiate room rates, and troubleshoot on our behalf (like when we got to a higher village and all beds were taken and we had to claim dining room pads). Especially if you're trekking for the first time in Nepal and you're time limited, its great to go with a company that can make things go more smoothly. LTR was an affordable, high quality option. We recommend highly and would use then again if back in Nepal!

We booked the Annapurna Sanctury 10 days trek and are still very happy. The trek is rather tough within this short time, with long walking hours and a lot of ascent/descent. (descent for example 9hour 22km distance and 2600 altitude meters). Nevertheles if you are a bit in training, I found it do-able and satisfying. There is still plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the landscape.
Langtang Ri's service was perfect (again). This was my third time with this agency and from picking us up from KTM to dropping us at KTM everything went smoothly.
We were 2 people and were acompanied by one guide and one porter. The Guide was experienced with a good english level.
I have to admit that I prefer this individual service instead of traveling with big groups with International service providers. You have the option to change the itinerary to your conditions and do not walk behind a group when you are sick/slow.
A recommendation from my side.
