Your journey starts with a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara, the city of lakes and gateway to those venturing into the Annapurna region. A short flight from Pokhara takes you to Jomsom, the starting point of your trek. From Jomsom you will follow the Kali Gandaki River all the way to Kagbeni.
Continue your journey uphill via Chele, Syangmoche and Ghaymi to reach Lo Manthang. Spend a day exploring the Kingdom of Lo and see its highlights, including Nyphu cave monastery and the 2,500 years old sky cave Jhong. Another highlight of this region is Ghar Gompa, which you will see during the trip. Located not away from Lo, this monastery is over 1,200 years old and is dedicated to Guru Rinpoche, popularly known as Padmasambhava.
Your journey downhill will mostly take you along the same route that you used earlier. This tour comes to an end after you have arrived in Kathmandu. Please scroll down to the itinerary section for more details.

How much money do I need to bring with me?
Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

How much should my backpack weigh?
A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.
- Do I need a porter?
-
Do I require a porter for carrying water?
On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.
