Preparing mountain routes & live itineraries
An exhilarating 5-day, 4-night high-altitude alpine trek taking you into the glacial basin of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Tailored for fit trekkers seeking a direct, fast-paced route from Pokhara to the foot of the world's 10th-highest peak, this express itinerary maximises time on the trail while delivering close encounters with towering Himalayan giants. Starting with a rugged 4x4 Jeep transfer to the Modi Khola trailhead at Jhinu Danda or Matque, the trail climbs stone-paved stairs through rhododendron woodlands and deep river gorges. Trekkers journey past Machapuchare Base Camp into the 360-degree amphitheatre of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Annapurna I (4,130 m), before descending through bamboo valleys and natural hot springs back to Pokhara.
Our alpine treks follow strict zero-waste leave-no-trace ethics. Ropes, crampons, pulse oximeters, and oxygen cylinders are carried across all high passes.
Meet your guide after an early morning breakfast in Pokhara and drive via a private 4x4 Jeep to the trailhead near Jhinu Danda / Matque. Cross the towering Modi Khola suspension bridges and begin the steep stone staircase ascent to Chhomrong village (2,170 m). Enjoy lunch overlooking panoramic views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and the fishtail peak of Machapuchare. Descend the Chhomrong steps and climb up to Sinuwa (2,360 m) for dinner and an overnight teahouse stay.
