The Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek is a unique way for guests to see the Himalayas in luxury as well as style. This 10-day luxury trek from Pokhara to Annapurna is an easy and enjoyable trip in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to walk in comfort.
After you arrive in Nepal, you will stay in luxury 5-star hotels in Kathmandu. You will go on a guided Kathmandu Sightseeing tour to explore the main UNESCO World Heritage Sites before traveling to Pokhara. Then you will take a scenic flight to Pokhara to reach Nayapul to start your trekking adventure. You will walk through the charming local villages like Birethanti, Ghandruk, and Dhampus. On the route, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri ranges and beautiful landscape. You will also experience the cultural highlights from the Gurung and Magar communities.
During the entire trek, you will stay in the luxury mountain lodge selected and booked by Peaceful Nepal. This luxury lodge allows you to rest, sleep, and enjoy meals, and provides premium service and modern comforts such as Wi-Fi, electricity, and hot showers.
After the trek, you’ll have time to see the best natural and cultural sites in Pokhara. Some of the best things to do include boating on Phewa Lake, seeing the dawn at Sarangkot, visiting Devi’s Fall, Gupteshwor Cave, the Pumdikot Shiva Statue, and the World Peace Pagoda.
After spending a wonderful time in Pokhara, you will conclude your Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek by taking a flight to Kathmandu from Pokhara airport. This is one of the best luxury treks in Nepal since it is suitable for people of all fitness levels and is excellent for friends, families, young children, and honeymoon couples.
Due to short duration and premium lodge accommodations, the Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek can be done throughout the year. However, the trek is best enjoyed during the clear and dry months. The trek is most memorable during the clear, dry months when the vistas of the Himalayas are at their best.
The perfect weather conditions and clear views generally happen in the month of October to early December and late February through May. The temperature remains moderate for trekking, and you can enjoy the views without any obstruction. Fresh air, sunrise view over the Annapurna, makes it the perfect time to experience both adventure and luxury in Nepal.
You can also go trekking in the winter. You can take advantage of warm trekking conditions and incredible views throughout the day, although it stays chilly at night and in the early morning. You will feel warm and comfy on the trek because of the high-quality lodge accommodations.
We suggest that you avoid trekking in the monsoon season, as due to heavy rainfall, the trekking trails can be muddy and slippery. Also risk of flood and landslide remains high in this season.
The Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek is one of the easiest luxury treks in the Annapurna Region. During the trek, you will walk on the well-marked trails, and there are no challenging, steep climbs, technical sections, or high mountain passes on this trek. Your everyday hiking hour will be around 3-5 hours. You will get enough time to rest and enjoy the scenery during the trek. This trek is specially designed for travelers who want to enjoy Himalayan views without hard walking or challenging trails.
Although this Annapurna Luxury Lodge trek is easy and can be done by first-time trekkers, you must have a basic fitness level. You must be able to walk on your own for 3-5 hours at a slow and steady pace. Regular walking, light hiking, or simple cardio exercises before the trip will be enough preparation.
No previous trekking experience is required for this luxury trek. With professional guides, short walking days, and comfortable lodges, this trek is ideal for people of all ages who are in good health and want a stress-free trekking holiday in Nepal.
The main advantage of choosing the Annapurna Luxury Lodge trek is that you don’t have to cross high altitudes like in other luxury treks, such as the EBC Luxury Trek. The maximum altitude of the Annapurna Luxury Lodge Trek is Ghandruk at 1,940 meters.
Because this is a low-altitude trek, the risk of altitude sickness is very low. You do not need to worry about altitude-related issues. You can trek safely and comfortably, so this trek is best for beginners, families, and travelers of all ages.
