Day 1: Arrive Pokhara, Drive to Nayapul, Trek to Ghandruk (1,940m)
📍 Ghandruk
Transfer from Pokhara to Nayapul trailhead (90 minutes). Trek up through subtropical farmland to Ghandruk — one of Nepal's most beautiful traditional villages, home to the Gurung people and famous for its extraordinary views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. The Gurung Culture Museum in Ghandruk provides excellent context for the community's history and relationship with the mountains. Walking time: 4–5 hours. Meals: All included.
Day 2
Day 2: Ghandruk to Australian Camp (2,012m)
📍 Australian Camp
Contour along the ridge above the Modi Khola gorge towards Australian Camp. The views throughout this section are exceptional — the full Annapurna massif visible from west to east, with Machhapuchhre's extraordinary Fishtail summit at eye level. Australian Camp's meadow setting at 2,012 metres is one of the finest viewpoints in the Annapurna foothills. Walking time: 4–5 hours. Meals: All included.

Meals: All included.
Day 4
Day 4: Sarangkot Sunrise, Descend to Pokhara, Departure
