LUXURY TREKKING IN THE ANNAPURNA REGION
Annapurna Panorama Luxury Trek – 10 Days
Experience the spectacular landscapes of Nepal on a ten-day Annapurna journey combining Kathmandu sightseeing, a flight to Pokhara, traditional mountain villages, the sunrise viewpoint at Poon Hill and scenic trails through Ghorepani, Tadapani, Ghandruk, Tolkha and Dhampus.
The Annapurna Panorama Luxury Trek spreads the classic Ghorepani–Poon Hill experience across ten days with time for Kathmandu, efficient flights to Pokhara and a longer descent through Gurung villages to Tolkha and Dhampus.
You begin with cultural sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley, then fly west to Pokhara and enter the foothills towards Ulleri and Ghorepani. A pre-dawn walk to Poon Hill offers panoramic scenery when weather allows; forest trails continue to Tadapani and Ghandruk before the route turns through Tolkha towards Dhampus and returns to Pokhara by road.
Luxury on this journey means private coordination, experienced guiding and the best suitable lodges available — not five-star resorts on every ridge. Flights, road access, walking durations and room categories are confirmed on your signed booking, not assumed from this page.
