In a few words

Breathtaking panoramas of Nepal's most beautiful mountains , authentic villages, and encounters with local people await you on this accessible journey, far from the most frequented trails. The ideal trip for anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty of the Himalayan landscapes without climbing too high! From Kathmandu, you'll travel to the foothills of the Annapurna massif . Your trek begins near the stunning village of Ghandruk, overlooked by Annapurna South and the majestic silhouette of Machapuchare. For nine days, you'll traverse rice paddies, rhododendron forests, and high-altitude pastures along the famous Annapurna Balconies . You'll pass through numerous traditional hamlets inhabited by the Gurung ethnic group, offering a glimpse into authentic Nepal. Here, there's no need to climb above 4,000 meters to appreciate the beauty of the Himalayas: the fabulous viewpoints of Muldai, Kopra, and Mohare Danda offer some of the most breathtaking panoramas in Nepal! Before you, the towering peaks of the Annapurna range rise majestically, along with the stunning east face of the "White Mountain," Dhaulagiri I. Our adventure concludes in Pokhara, on the shores of Phewa Lake , with the Annapurna peaks as your backdrop.

The highlights

  • The panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs
  • An accessible trek, with a maximum altitude of 3600 meters
  • Kopra Ridge: a less frequented variant on the Annapurna balcony

The trek itself lived up to my expectations; the support on the ground from guide Khadga and porter Santa was truly excellent. Unfortunately, the experience with the local agency, due to the problems encountered, fell short of what I expected from Decathlon. Accommodation wasn't booked, and they chose "low-cost" providers. The significant investment, with a deposit paid in mid-April and the balance due at the end of August for a mid-October departure, should have allowed for a more professionally managed itinerary. I think the agency was overwhelmed, and Buddhi's responses during my phone calls there were limited to explaining that this is how things are done in the mountains (I've been climbing for over 60 years...), that this is how it is on the Everest side (I was on the opposite side, the Annapurna side...). In short, I had to accept it. So, I've come to terms with it, but I'm not entirely satisfied, even though, once again, the landscapes and the people I met along the way have made me want to do it again. My choice of travel arrangements will, of course, be influenced by this experience.
