Annapurna to Chitwan: Walks & Wildlife in Nepal – 13 Days
A lodge-to-lodge Annapurna walk and Chitwan safaris in a group of up to sixteen.
13 days
From £2,704
Tour overview
This 13-day small-group adventure combines a comfortable lodge-to-lodge walk in the Annapurna foothills with wildlife safaris in the jungle of Chitwan. A tour leader travels with the group, which numbers no more than sixteen, and a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara saves a long drive. You stay twelve nights: five in superior mountain lodges with Gurung-style décor, two at a jungle resort in Chitwan and five in hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Breakfast is included daily, along with seven lunches and eight dinners.
From Pokhara you walk through farmland and forest into the Modi River valley, with constant views of Annapurna South and the fishtail peak of Machhapuchhre. Over five days you trek to Ghandruk, cross the river by suspension bridge to Landruk, follow an easy trail to Majgaon and continue through subtropical forest to Dhampus, watching sunrise over the whole Annapurna range. Each night is spent in a comfortable lodge rather than a basic teahouse.

Back in Pokhara you visit the Tibetan refugee camp at Tashiling for a momo-cooking experience. A drive along the Trishuli River brings you to Chitwan National Park, where a dugout canoe trip and a jeep safari seek out one-horned rhinos, crocodiles and, with luck, tigers, followed by an evening of Tharu culture. You return to Kathmandu for a day of sightseeing, with the option of an early flight past Everest.
The physical rating is medium. This trip suits travellers who want to walk in the Himalaya in comfort and add a wildlife safari.
