Itinerary

Craving Himalayan vistas and close encounters with traditional Nepalese life? The "Walking the Annapurna Foothills" tour is a perfect moderate adventure for experienced travelers. Over 13 days, this trip takes you from Kathmandu’s bustling streets to tranquil Himalayan villages and the wildlife-rich plains of Chitwan National Park.

The main activity is a gentle four-day trek along the quieter trails of the Annapurna foothills. Walk through terraced fields and charming villages, with the snow-capped Annapurna range as your constant backdrop. After the trek, head to Chitwan National Park, where you’ll search for the rare one-horned rhino and other wildlife on safari. The tour wraps up in Pokhara, a lakeside haven perfect for unwinding amidst mountain views.

All accommodations, meals, and transport are included, ensuring a seamless journey. The unique selling point of this tour package lies in its balance—offering a taste of Himalayan trekking without the intensity of high-altitude climbs, combined with cultural and wildlife experiences for a truly well-rounded Nepalese adventure.

day 1Join trip in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu

Our tour starts today in Kathmandu, the busy, colourful and chaotic capital city of Nepal.
Our tour leader plans to meet everyone in the hotel reception for a welcome meeting at 5 pm. For those that wish, there is the chance to enjoy a group dinner afterwards. There are no other activities planned for today.
If you miss the welcome meeting, our tour leader will leave any essential information and details of the best time to catch up with them at the hotel reception.
If you'd like to receive an airport transfer today, you'll need to arrive into Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). You should allow at least 45 minutes to reach our hotel in central Kathmandu as traffic congestion in the city can be bad.
Depending on the arrival time of your flight, if you'd like to get a head start on exploring, our hotel is located a short walk from the lively Thamel area. Home to a multitude of outdoor gear, souvenir shops, great bookshops and a huge variety of restaurants, it's a fun place to wander.

The booking porocess was easy, and customer service was responsive. I contacted 4 companies about the tour I was interested in. Two of the companies I contacted didn't answer me at all. One of them was basically a chatbot that said "do it yourself." Only bookmundi had human agents to help.
