Explore the unique jungles of Chitwan, home to one of the last remaining populations of single-horned Asiatic rhinos
This is an extended version of our bestselling Annapurna Sanctuary Route trek, allowing you to explore more of Nepal on your adventure
Day 1
Settle into your hotel in Thamel, the lively hub of bustling Kathmandu. Once you've met up with your guides and sorted out any last-minute trek details, wrap up the day over a group dinner, getting to know your fellow adventurers.
Day 2
Embark on a scenic drive to the picturesque lakeside city of Pokhara (approximately eight hours away). Settle in to the drive through awe-inspiring Himalayan landscapes and terraced farmlands. On arrival, unwind at your hotel and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as you gear up for your first day of hiking tomorrow.
Day 3
A picturesque drive (of around two hours) will take you to Nayapul, where your trek begins. From the trailhead, step into the lush forest that gradually gives way to remote waterfalls and villages. Stop for lunch with a breathtaking view of Mount Machapuchare (6993m), then traverse a suspension bridge to start the challenging ascent up a stone staircase leading to Ulleri. While this segment may be one of the toughest on the trek, your guide will ensure a manageable pace for the group. Upon reaching the village, tuck into a hearty meal and settle in for your first night at a Nepalese teahouse.
Day 4
Take in the sweeping vistas from your teahouse as you sip a steaming cup of morning coffee, gearing up for a moderate ascent through a lush forest of oak and rhododendron. If you're trekking in early spring, prepare to be dazzled by the vibrant array of wildflowers carpeting the landscape. Camera at the ready, continue directly uphill, capturing glimpses of Hiunchuli (6441m) and Annapurna South (7219m) along the way. Following another meal against the backdrop of magnificent panoramas, press onward to Ghorepani, a village that's home to the Magar community, hopefully catching a memorable sunset over the Himalayas.
Day 5
Rise before dawn to hike towards the summit of Poon Hill (3210m), a scenic hour-long uphill trek renowned for its breathtaking mountain vistas. Arrive just in time to witness an epic and unforgettable sunrise. Afterwards, retrace your steps back to Ghorepani for a hearty breakfast before descending steeply through the rhododendron forest, navigating more stone steps to reach Deurali Pass (3210m). Take a bridge over a small stream, stopping for lunch amidst the lush greenery of the forest. Prepare for a short yet steep climb to Tadapani village, keeping an eye out for glimpses of Annapurna South and Machapuchare (AKA Fishtail Mountain). Finally, take on a gradual descent to the village of Chuile, where you'll rest tonight.
Day 6
Wake up to the stunning sight of Machapuchare peak from your teahouse, and tuck into breakfast. Begin the day's trekking by descending along the trail through sparsely populated settlements until you reach Kimrong Khola. See the landscape transform before your eyes as the forest thickens into wild, untamed jungle. Descend further to Ghurjung before facing a steep uphill climb to Chhomrong, the last permanent village in the valley. The path undulates again as you follow a stone staircase descending to the river before ascending steeply on the opposite side leading to your destination for the night, Sinuwa, offering yet another breathtaking view of the majestic Machapuchare.
Day 7
Descend yet more stone steps amidst the dense jungle foliage. Trace an undulating path alongside a wild river as you traverse some of the most demanding terrain of the entire trek, until you arrive at the village of Bamboo. The panoramic vistas from here reward every ounce of effort, and you can take a well-deserved break before pressing on through the forest to your next destination – the aptly named village of Himalaya.
Day 8
Begin today with a challenging uphill trek through oak and bamboo forests to reach Hinku Cave, then continue onwards and upwards along a rocky trail, crossing steep ravines and several small streams via wooden bridges. As the path leads you to Deurali, you'll navigate the banks of a glacial river and ascend through birch forests, flanked by layers of snowy ridges on either side. Finally, emerge above the treeline and ascend over the mountaintop to reach Machapuchare Base Camp. Take a moment to soak in the awe-inspiring vistas, including Hiunchuli, Gandharyachuil, Gangapurna, and the magnificent Annapurna Massif. Afterward, unwind and recharge under the thousands of stars glinting in the Himalayan night sky.
Day 9
Start your day with breakfast amidst breathtaking mountain views, then bid farewell to the forests and venture into the snow-covered rocky terrain above. While the trail ascends gradually without steep inclines, you may notice the effects of altitude on your breathing and pace. Press on to complete the last leg of the journey to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) – the pinnacle of the entire trek, which reveals why this is one of the world's most renowned trails. If the weather's good, keep your eyes out for a magical sunset in this magnificent setting.
Day 10
Rise early to catch an awe-inspiring glimpse of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare as they are revealed in the peachy glow of sunrise. Get back on the trail for a downhill day, immersing yourself in the mountain vistas surrounding you from every angle. Enjoy this panoramic beauty as you gradually descend through forested slopes, culminating in a long trek to the village of Bamboo where you will spend the night.
Day 11
Ascend to Khuldighar via yet more stone staircases then proceed along a gentle downhill path, navigating steps that guide you to Chomrong Khola. It's uphill again to through the village before descending to Jhinu Danda. Finally, make your way to the bubbling hot springs at Jhinu Danda for some well-deserved downtime.
Day 12
Start your last hiking day among mesmerising views of Nepal's mid-hills. Enjoy the crisp mountain air, capture those last mountain snapshots, and savour the descent into Naya Pul, from where you'll be driven back to Pokhara. Head out for dinner to celebrate with your crew, then spend the rest of the evening relaxing, partying or catching up on some well-deserved rest!
Day 13
Bid farewell to the picturesque Pokhara Valley and the iconic Fishtail Mountain as you embark on a journey towards Chitwan National Park. Nepal's first national park, Chitwan protects more than 900 square kilometres of forest, grassland and an incredible array of wildlife – including gharials (crocodilian reptiles known for their long, pointed snouts), rhinos, elephants, pythons, and several species of deer, as well as the very rare and elusive big cats: Bengal tigers and leopards. On arrival, freshen up, enjoy a tasty lunch, then pay a visit to the traditional Tharu village, catching sunset along the banks of the Rapti River. Conclude this leisurely day with a tasty dinner, then bed down in your comfortable jungle hideaway before a full day of exploration tomorrow.
Day 14
Wake early and start your day of wildlife exploration with a visit to the Crocodile Conservation Project, an initiative dedicated to safeguarding the endangered crocodile species of Chitwan. Established in 1971, the Gharial Conservation Centre focuses on breeding and releasing these distinctive crocodiles into the wild. Next, board a dugout canoe for a leisurely cruise along the Rapti River, the perfect chance to get your first glimpse of aquatic birds, gharials, and other wildlife which feed along the picturesque riverbanks. Return to the hotel for lunch before embarking on a jeep safari through the thick, wild jungles of Chitwan, eyes peeled for local wildlife including bison and the elusive one-horned rhinoceros.
Day 15
Begin the day with an early morning jungle walk, led by a knowledgeable park naturalist. Immerse yourself in lush surroundings as you look out for diverse bird species, flora, and fauna. Later, take a bus back to Kathmandu and check in to your hotel in Thamel. Enjoy some downtime in Nepal’s capital and an optional final dinner with your team.
Day 16
Enjoy a lie-in followed by breakfast at your hotel then, time permitting, spend your last day exploring the city before returning to the airport and back to reality.
Our trips do not include flights, trains or other travel to the start point and back from the end point.
How much you spend per day will vary according to your choice of meal, but generally people spend between $15-$25 per person per day on meals and hot drinks. Below is an approximate breakdown of some items:
Teahouses will provide cold water free of charge; however, it will need to be treated to enable you to drink it. Please read the drinking water FAQ for our advice.
Other extra costs to be considered are:
It is customary in Nepal to tip guides and porters. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. You can give any tips to your lead guide at the end of your trip. This will then be shared amongst the whole team. For full transparency, the lead guide will distribute the tips to the guides and porters in your presence. It is customary for the guides to receive a higher share than the porters as they are more highly qualified.
A good rule of thumb is around $115pp as a tip, although the amount you give is entirely your choice.
If you would like to give an additional tip to a member of the team who has supported you personally, please do so directly and discretely.
You know your own spending habits best, so please budget an appropriate amount for things like optional meals and drinks, shopping, optional activities, and laundry.
Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures, and you'll need to provide your policy details before departure. Your insurance should offer adequate cover for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment, and the specific activities involved in your adventure. We also recommend ensuring your policy includes cancellation and curtailment cover, in case you're unable to join your trip due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness.
Standard travel insurance may not cover all the activities included in your adventure, so it's essential to check the details carefully. There are adventure-specific providers that many travellers have used in the past, such as True Traveller (opens in new tab) (for those based in the UK or Europe), or Rise + Shield (opens in new tab), both of which offer cover for a wide range of adventurous activities. Please make sure your chosen policy meets your individual needs and covers all aspects of your trip.
Owing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (4130m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter.
Visa requirements often change, and you are responsible for obtaining any required visas for this trip. Please check with your nearest embassy or consulate for up-to-date advice.
Breakfast offerings usually include hot porridge, muesli or Tibetan bread served with an omelette or boiled eggs. The dinner menus in the teahouses are very similar at every stop and there will usually be a choice of traditional Nepalese *dhal bhat*…
Created for adventurers ready to take on a few longer, more demanding days
The Annapurna Sanctuary Route is the ideal trek for those who are keen to experience the Himalayas but aren’t quite ready for the longer, higher-altitude treks such as Everest...

For solo travellers looking for their own space, an optional private room can be booked for the six hotel nights in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan (private rooms are not available for the nine nights in the teahouses), subject to availability – see Optional Extras. Please request this at the time of booking.
To request any extras, message your host via your Much Better Adventures account once you have booked your trip.
All extras must be paid before your trip starts.
Marta Marinelli, raised in Italy’s serene Prosecco Hills, dreamt of global adventures, inspired by her father's travel stories. Her passion evolved into a career, backed by a decade of studies including degrees in international tourism and destination management. She’s worked in the adventure travel sector since 2012, living in Italy, the UK, and now sunny Portugal.
Over twenty years, Marta has explored over 55 countries, visiting remote areas like Ghana, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Haiti and Nepal’s Upper Mustang region. As a Senior Adventure Expansion Manager at Much Better Adventures, she focuses on creating life-changing experiences, ranging from multi-activity adventures, challenging treks, to ultimate adventures in iconic places. She loves the challenge of finding the best local adventure hosts around the world, collaborating on adventures that offer genuine immersion, pushing beyond the beaten path and working on exclusive itineraries that challenge your comfort zone.
What makes her tick? Enabling people to live adventure-rich lives while positively impacting and empowering local communities around the world, generating sustainable opportunities for both the host, guides, community, and the environment.
The preferred currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Whilst ATMs are available in the main cities, please do not rely on them as they are often out of order and most have a maximum withdrawal limit equivalent to about £300.
It's best to bring the bulk of your money with you in cash and exchange it at a bank or at one of the many money changers in Nepal – your guide will help you with this. Most major currencies are accepted, including GBP (Sterling), Euros and US Dollars, however Scottish or Northern Irish currency cannot be changed. Keep your exchange receipts in case you want to change any unused Rupees back into hard currency when you leave Nepal (it is illegal to export Nepalese Rupees, as it is a closed currency).
You will need to carry a fairly large amount of cash while trekking, for the meals (see 'Not Included' above). We advise that you keep this in a waterproof bag and in your day bag along with your passport.
You can leave any luggage not needed on the trek at your hotel in Kathmandu.
This trip includes one porter for every two trekkers. They will carry up to 20-25kg of kit so your overnight bags and spare clothes will be transported for you (maximum 12kg per person). You will only need to carry a daypack with essentials in (extra layer, snacks, water, suncream, camera etc).
We work with some of the best leaders in the industry, every one of which is government licensed and very experienced. In order to ensure this high standard of performance, the host provides them with top-notch in-house training that covers advanced wilderness first aid, hyperbaric chambers, oxygen system, mountain rescue, incident management and Leave No Trace (LNT) principles to help keep the Himalayas pristine.
Although we schedule departure dates outside of the main monsoon season, weather conditions in any mountain region can be unpredictable and sometimes your host will need to revert to 'Plan B'.
No two trekking seasons are the same, but occasional landslides or heavy snowfall and avalanches have been known to lead to trail closures on this route – particularly in the areas around Machapuchare Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp. If the trail is closed or deemed unsafe your host will organise an alternative trek of similar difficulty and duration – usually to Mardi Base Camp.
Whilst there are no domestic flights included in this itinerary, should you choose to add one to your booking as an additional service you should be aware of the following:
Nepal's mountainous terrain and weather make for challenging flying conditions and sadly more incidents (including fatalities) occur here than in other countries. Since 2013 the EU has banned all Nepalese domestic airlines from flying within EU airspace in order to raise awareness of the poor safety record (although no Nepalese airlines were operating routes within the EU prior to the ban). You should be aware that flying in Nepal is an identified risk: please consider this carefully before booking. Additional information can be found on the Aviation Safety Network entry for Nepal as well as the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice for Nepal
Domestic airlines in Nepal are generally not accredited by any internationally recognised safety audit systems and the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal does not operate to the same standards as those of Western nations.
What does Much Better Adventures do about this?
Much Better Adventures collaborates with other UK travel companies that arrange for independent air-safety auditors to visit Nepal annually to assess the local airlines. Much Better Adventures then only uses the carriers that were approved as part of the most recent audit. If any concerns are subsequently raised about an approved airline between audits, we put them on hold until the auditors are satisfied that safety standards are being met.
Your host in Nepal can arrange a variety of extra experiences in Kathmandu, should you want to explore further. Please discuss these directly with your host, who will be able to book them for you.
Kathmandu Heritage Tour: Visit four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Kathmandu Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Boudhanath and Swayambhunath (the Monkey Temple). Duration: full day (approx. 08:00–15:00).
Spice Markets & Durbar Square: Explore Asan Market and Thamel, visiting spice and tea markets and learning about the cultural, culinary and medicinal uses of Nepali spices from local vendors. Finish at Kathmandu Durbar Square, home to historic temples and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Duration: approx. three hours (flexible timing).
Master the Arts: Head to Bhaktapur Durbar Square for a pottery workshop. Learn to spin the wheel and shape clay into simple items such as cups, bowls or vases, and observe traditional drying and firing techniques used by local potters. Duration: half day (approx. 08:00–12:30).
Nepali Cooking Class: Learn to prepare four traditional Nepali dishes with hands-on guidance, then enjoy one of your creations. This experience supports SASANE and their work addressing human trafficking, child marriage and violence against women. Duration: half day (morning or afternoon).
Although most teahouses have the option to buy bottled water, we advise against it to reduce the use of plastic in the mountains (this ends up being burnt or dumped in landfill out of sight). You will instead be provided with cold water that needs treating. There are a wide range of products available these days which are more effective than traditional purification tablets – some trekkers like to use UV handheld devices such as a Steripen but other options are available – just be sure to check the performance in freezing conditions.
Owing to the nature of this trip, it is essential that your personal travel insurance policy provides cover to the maximum altitude visited on this trip (4130m) as well as for emergency medical evacuation by helicopter.
At Much Better Adventures, we work hard to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies so your trip is safe, inclusive and enjoyable. That said, options can vary by country, location and accommodation, and in some places options may be limited or unavailable. The information below has been provided by your host so you’re fully informed about what will be possible on your trip, depending on your individual requirements. This information should be read carefully prior to your trip to ensure that you are adequately prepared for the situation ‘on the ground’.
Once you have booked on your trip, please fill out your passenger information form asap with any dietary requirements. Once you complete your passenger information, your dietary needs and any allergies are automatically shared with your host and, in turn, your guide. Please submit this as early as possible so they can plan accordingly and deliver the best experience. Please also remind your guide about your dietary requirements upon arrival, as mentioning these in person allows your guide to comprehend individual preferences and limitations as soon as you arrive.
BACKGROUND
Nepal’s cuisine is shaped by its mountainous geography, agricultural traditions, and strong cultural ties to India and Tibet. Meals are typically hearty and practical, centred around rice, lentils, seasonal vegetables, and preserved foods, with meat used more sparingly in many regions.
In Kathmandu and Pokhara, there is a wide range of hotels and restaurants serving high-quality food. However, in the remote trekking regions, limited infrastructure (including a lack of refrigeration) means teahouses tend to offer a similar, simple menu throughout. It is generally advisable to avoid meat in more remote teahouses, as freshness cannot be guaranteed—your guide will advise accordingly. A vegetarian or vegan diet is often the most suitable, whilst a lactose-free diet is also not too restrictive. Gluten-free diets, however, can be accommodated but are more limited and repetitive.
Meals in trekking regions are built around dal bhat (rice, lentil soup, and vegetables), along with variations of potatoes, noodles, soups, breads, rice, pasta, and even pizza—sometimes with egg, vegetables, cheese, or tinned tuna. Desserts may include apple pie, chocolate pudding (often with custard), or cake. Breakfast typically consists of toast, eggs, pancakes, Tibetan bread, porridge, or muesli.
Fresh fruit is rarely available, and fresh vegetables become scarcer at higher altitudes. While carbohydrates are plentiful, meals can lack variety and certain nutrients, so bringing snacks such as nuts or dried fruit is recommended.
Some dietary requirements and allergies may not be well understood in remote areas. Your guide will help communicate your needs, but flexibility and preparation are essential when trekking in these regions.
SPECIAL DIETS
Vegetarian Vegetarian diets can be well catered for on this trip, provided your host is informed in advance. There are plenty of options available both in cities and along trekking routes. Common dishes include dal bhat, vegetable momos (dumplings), vegetable noodle soup, and fried rice or noodles with vegetables and/or egg. Potatoes, Tibetan bread, pasta, and pizza are also widely available.
Vegan Vegan diets can be well catered for on this trip, provided your host is informed in advance. Porridge is a common breakfast and can be made with water on request, though it is often prepared with milk powder by default. Dal bhat is the main staple, though some versions may include ghee - so do check. Momos may contain egg in the dough. While carbohydrates are easy to find, sources of vegan protein are limited, so bringing snacks is recommended.
Kosher Fully certified Kosher kitchens and supervision are not available in remote teahouses, so a Kosher diet cannot be accommodated on this trip. Vegetarian or vegan options can often be the most reliable alternative if this is acceptable to you. Please read the related sections above.
Halal Certified Halal meat is not available in remote teahouses, although it can be found in Kathmandu and other major cities. Vegetarian or vegan options can often be the most reliable alternative if this is acceptable to you. Please read the related sections above.
INTOLERANCES
Gluten Free (for Coeliac, please see Allergies section below) Gluten-free diets are difficult to accommodate in trekking regions of Nepal. Please inform your host in advance, but be aware that options are limited and often repetitive. Many staple foods—such as Tibetan bread, noodles, pasta, pancakes, and muesli—contain gluten, making breakfast particularly restrictive. You may often rely on eggs as an alternative. Additionally, powdered soups, seasonings, and soy sauce frequently contain gluten, and cross-contamination is a significant risk in teahouse kitchens. Naturally gluten-free options do exist, including dal bhat, potatoes, eggs, plain rice, and simple soups. However, flexibility and preparation are essential, and your guide will assist in communicating your needs.
Lactose Free Lactose-free diets can be catered for on this trip, provided that your host is made aware in advance. Many dishes are naturally lactose-free, but you will need to specify at each meal that you require food without milk, milk powder, ghee, butter, or cheese. Porridge and muesli can be prepared with water on request. As sources of healthy fats may be limited, bringing supplementary snacks is recommended. Flexibility remains important in remote areas, and your guide will help communicate your requirements.
ALLERGIES
Our host has confirmed that provision for certain mild and severe or life threatening food allergies on this trip may be unreliable. Please get in touch with our Customer Experience team prior to booking to discuss whether your requirements can be accommodated safely on this trip.
This will allow us to carefully consider the sensitivity and severity of your allergy, the available provision on the trip and the accessibility of medical care should a reaction occur. Your safety is always our top priority. Please note that when travelling overseas, local ingredients, food preparation methods and labelling standards may vary, particularly in remote areas. It is also worth noting that any allergies may result in more limited options and repetitive provision in some areas. Whilst your guide will help communicate dietary requirements where possible, customers remain responsible for managing their own allergies during the trip.
Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.
Our team of Adventure Hunters co-create exclusive adventures which are run by highly vetted, specialist hosts. The trip is run by our trusted host partner in the destination. We only work with independent, local, in-destination experts who know the very best places to explore and how to stay safe. Read more information about the local teams we partner with. You’ll be introduced to the host straight after making a booking via the Much Better Adventures platform.
Much Better Adventures refer to the UK Government’s official travel advice when designing trips and monitoring trip operations. We recommend that all customers are familiar with the practical information provided on the Government’s FCDO website, where current travel advice can be found by searching for the applicable destination(s).
For customers joining this trip from other international destinations – please also read the official travel advice applicable to your country of residence/origin, as this may differ.
We recommend checking out the country-specific information and also talking to a travel nurse.
We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.
If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.

The main trekking season in Nepal is from September to May (before or after the monsoon) and can be split into three seasons:
Winter (Dec-Feb): Despite being seen as ‘off-season’ this is often the best time to trek in Nepal. The nights can be very cold (down to at least -10ºC/14F) at Annapurna Base Camp but the trails are quieter and the mountain views are often at their best due to the crisp dry air and clear sunny skies.
Pre-Monsoon/Spring (Mar-May): Spring (particularly April and May) is the mildest time to trek in Nepal and magnificent rhododendron forests bloom along the Annapurna Sanctuary route at this time of year. It will be hot in the lowlands (30ºC/86F) but more comfortable as you gain elevation. Rain is not uncommon and snow cover is likely at Base Camp. Night-time temperatures should remain above freezing for the most part but can still drop below zero at Base Camp.
Post-Monsoon/Autumn (Sep-Nov): The rains can sometimes persist into September but in general this time of year is characterised by sunny, relatively mild days and clear skies. It can get cold and windy at higher altitudes and nights can be cold (typically -5ºC/23F) at the high points.
Of course, mountain weather is notoriously hard to predict and snow and extremes of temperature can be expected on any trip so come prepared.
Chitwan sits amidst the sub-tropical lowlands of Nepal and you may encounter temperatures above 30°C and high humidity.
We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.
What's the number?
It works out on average at 360kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.
The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.
But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:
What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.
Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
First dibs. Practical advice. Fresh inspiration. Plus the odd nice surprise.
