[{"title":"Day 1: Join trip Kathmandu","name":"Kathmandu","description":"The trip starts today in Kathmandu, the busy, colourful and chaotic capital city of Nepal. Your 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 go out together as a group for dinner afterwards. There are no other activities planned for today. Should you miss the welcome meeting, your leader will leave any essential information and details of the best time to catch up with them, at the hotel reception. If you would 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 city can be bad. Depending on the arrival time of your flight, should you wish to explore, 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.","lat":"27.717245","lng":"85.323961"},{"title":"Day 2: Trek briefing; walking tour of old Kathmandu","name":"Pokhara","description":"After breakfast there will be a trek briefing by your tour leader to let you know the programme for the next few days, to make sure everyone is properly equipped for the trek and to give you an idea of what to expect on a day to day basis. We have then arranged a walking tour, visiting the bazaar and the Durbar Square area, the centre of old Kathmandu. Much of the day to day life of Kathmandu takes place in the bazaar: a fascinating mixture of people selling fruit, vegetables and spices, devotees visiting their favourite gods at temples and small shrines dotted along the sides of alleyways, rickshaw wallahs honking their horns and the ever present sacred cow wandering amongst it all.","lat":"28.209583","lng":"83.985567"},{"title":"Day 3: Drive to Pokhara; prepare for trek","name":"Annapurna","description":"Leaving the capital today we drive to Pokhara. The drive will take us much of the day but there is plenty to see as the landscape changes and the Annapurna range comes in to view.","lat":"28.596111","lng":"83.820278"},{"title":"Day 5: Hike via Taulung to Chhomrong","name":"Chhomrong","description":"Today we start with an ascent before dropping down to cross the Kimrong Khola by bridge, before making a short ascent to Taulung. We then begin the long steep ascent to join the main trail to Chhomrong. The high point above the main valley is a favourite place for soaring vultures, griffons and lammergeiers, providing us with some awesome vistas as we begin the descent to Chommrong (2060 metre/6800 feet), the last major settlement before the Sanctuary and an attractive place for us to end the day amidst its alpine lodges and scenic views. Today's 12 kilometre/7.5 miles walk is expected to take around six hours with a total ascent of 810 metres/2700 feet and a descent of 670 metres/2200 feet.","lat":"28.419288","lng":"83.818132"},{"title":"Day 6: Trek through rhododendron forest to Dovan","name":"Dobhan","description":"Descending to cross the Chhomrong Khola River by suspension bridge, we enjoy some excellent views of Machhapuchhre today (now exhibiting its distinctive 'fishtail' profile) and Annapurna South. We continue to climb steeply, negotiating a trail that leads us through oak and rhododendron forests until we reach a welcome teahouse on top of the ridge at Sinuwa (2350 metre/7710 feet). The ascent to Kuldigarth (2470 metre/8100 feet ) is then more gradual, continuing through more lush forest to our lunch stop at the Bamboo Hotel (2340 metre/7678 feet). This afternoon we continue our ascent towards Dovan, beyond which lies the unofficial gateway into the Sanctuary, walking through wet bamboo forest to reach our accommodation later this afternoon. Today's 10 kilometre/6.2 miles walk is expected to take around seven hours with a total ascent of 1060 metres/3500 feet and a descent of 620 metres/2000 feet.","lat":"27.83043","lng":"83.557648"},{"title":"Day 9: Trek to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m); descend to Machhapucchre Base Camp","name":"Annapurna","description":"We spend the day enjoying the views within the very heart of the sanctuary. Having made a 'crack of dawn' start to get the best of the day, we follow part of the route taken by British mountaineer Chris Bonnington on the 1970 Annapurna south face expedition. Following west along a moraine to the north of Hiunchuli, we reach several stone buildings at 4130 metre/13600 feet and then ascend to a spectacular viewpoint. Here we have amazing views of the peaks encircling us including close up views of the south face of Annapurna I which towers over the Sanctuary and also of Annapurna South glacier. We will have time to enjoy this special mountain panorama, to sit amongst the edelweiss and watch the ice carving its way from the glacier, before descending back to Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Today's 5 kilometre/3 miles walk is expected to take around three and a half hours with a total ascent of 430 metres/1400 feet and a descent of 430 metres/1400 feet.","lat":"28.596111","lng":"83.820278"},{"title":"Day 11: Trek to Jhinnu Danda via Chhomrong","name":"Chhomrong","description":"Descending through rhododendron forest full of noisy birds - mostly black-capped Sibia, we then cross the Chhomrong Khola and climb up to Chhomrong village (2060 metre/6800 feet) where we take a rest break. We then climb for a short while before descending to Jhinnu Danda, our home for the night. Today's 12 kilometre/7.5 miles walk is expected to take around 6 hours with a total ascent of 690 metres/2200 feet and a descent of 1230 metre/4000 feet. There is an optional walk to Hot spring which will approximately take 45 minutes.","lat":"28.419288","lng":"83.818132"},{"title":"Day 13: Free day in Pokhara to relax","name":"Pokhara","description":"Pokhara is smaller and more relaxed than Kathmandu and is beautifully situated on the banks of Phewa Tal (lake). Only foothills separate the town from the high mountains and there are superb views of the snowcapped Annapurna range, including Machhapuchhre - the famous 'Fishtail' mountain. Our day here is free to relax after the trek. There is the option to take a small boat across the lake and walk to the Japanese Peace Pagoda or simply relax in one of the lakeside cafe gardens after exploring the many souvenir shops.","lat":"28.209583","lng":"83.985567"},{"title":"Day 15: Trip ends in Kathmandu","name":"Kathmandu","description":"The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Kathmandu. There are no activities planned for today, so you are free to depart at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you would like to receive an airport transfer today, you'll need to depart from Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM).","lat":"27.717245","lng":"85.323961"}]
