Upon reaching the lakeside city, freshen up and spend the remainder of the day at leisure: explore old bazaars, enjoy a paddle boat ride, or just relax by the peaceful shores of Fewa Lake with the Annapurna peaks, keeping watch from afar.

Yes! Your main bag stays secure in our private transport between lodges. Just carry a small daypack with essentials while hiking each day.
The Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek can be enjoyed throughout the year. However, spring (March-May) / winter (December –February) and autumn (September-November) are considered the peak trekking seasons. These months provide ideal weather conditions for great views and pleasant hiking.
In the spring, temperatures are warm at lower elevations, with cool mountain air as you go higher. Rhododendron forests are especially colorful and blooming with pinks and reds.
Autumn brings crisp blue skies for stunning mountain vistas. It’s also peak season for festivals like Dashain, and Tihar which lets you experience Nepal’s unique culture.
Summers (June-August) get hot, humid, and rainy, with risks of leeches and landslides.
Winter (December-February) has chilly temperatures with possible snowfall blocking mountain passes.
However, these “off seasons” see far fewer fellow trekkers. So, if solitude is a priority and you have suitable gear for the climate, consider a luxury lodge trek in summer or winter for discounted rates.
This trek's hallmark is the Luxury Lodges network carefully designed for comfort. The eco-lodges blend seamlessly with their surroundings and feature cozy, well-appointed rooms to unwind in after each day's hike.
Delicious, hardy meals combined with local flavors are prepared using fresh organic produce from lodge gardens and nearby farms. The dining areas and outdoor terraces offer stunning mountain views along with excellent Nepali food and wine.
With amenities like en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi access, backup generators, and hot showers, the lodges provide a high standard of accommodation unmatched by typical Himalayan teahouses.
The other highlight of this trek is staying in luxurious 5-star hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara before and after your adventure. The hotels feature lavish rooms and suites with amenities like plush bedding, soaking tubs, 24-hour room service, rooftop pools, and spas to relax those trek-weary muscles.
Savor gourmet cuisine and creative cocktails at the various onsite bars and restaurants while enjoying panoramic views of mountain peaks or cityscapes.
End your days with fine Himalayan dining coupled with outstanding hospitality that complements the comforts of luxury lodges in the high mountains.
The Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek is considered moderately difficult. It is achievable for people with average fitness levels and some past hiking experience. Daily distances range between 4-6 hours of walking along ridges and valley trails.

The lodges provide hearty meals to fuel your days and comfy beds to recharge at night. Plus, experienced guides will assist you and handle your bags throughout.
As long as you exercise regularly in advance to improve stamina, almost anyone over age 10 can complete this adventure-packed Himalayan trek that balances activity with luxury.
