Away Inward Retreats - Merging Spirit with Adventure

Kathmandu, NEPAL | Annapurna Trek

** Due to the tragic earthquakes last year, we have been redirecting our Nepal Adventures to a Relief and Reconstruction Initiative. Please check out our nonprofit, The Away Inward Foundation, for more info! CLICK HERE for details.**

After more than a year of rebuilding we are finally going to offer retreats again in Nepal. Of course you will have the opportunity to volunteer as well but here is the TREK OF A LIFETIME.

We are combining 2 treks, basically. The Annapurna Panorama Trek & Annapurna Base Camp. And we are going to do it in less than a week. AVID HIKERS ONLY. We will begin in Pokhara and trek to Ghorepani which leads to the popular viewpoint of Poon Hill. From this lookout point you will have a 360 degree view with sunset one evening and sunrise the following morning. Spectacular! We will then make our way to Chomrong and on to Duerali. From there we will summit base camp and head back down, sleeping lower at Machupuchre Base Camp. The maximum altitude of this trek is 4200m at ABC which can be accomplished with normal physical condition and without previous trekking experience, however there is an interview process prior to registration. This trek begins after short flight from KTM and a drive from Pokhara to the trailhead in Nayapul.

For 7 days we will make our way through the beautiful villages of Ulleri, Ghorepani, Tadapani, and Ghandruk (my favorite), Bamboo and Himalaya, just t o name a few. It ends with a night in Jhanudnadi and a lovely natural hot spring. The next day we will drive back to Pokhara and fly to KTM.

This is a trekkers paradise. It is an excellent combination of Himalayan scenery and beautiful landscape from the Rhododendron forest to the snow peaked mountain tops. The sunrise view from Poon Hill is the greatest view of the Himalaya with more than 30 mountains in view including three mountains above 8000m. This trek takes you through valleys, rivers, a forest and many beautiful villages. It is a unique experience and adventure of a lifetime. Easily in the top 10 treks in the world!
