Day by day

Altitude, rest days and a bit of ceremony. Mountain weather can shuffle the high days around, but the shape of the trip stays the same.

  1. Day 01

    Kathmandu · Pokhara

    822 m

    A private flight, then a briefing with the aviation crew at the lakeside hangar.

  2. Day 02

    Tilicho Lake reconnaissance

    4,919 m

    Glacial turquoise at the world's highest lake. Champagne at 4,900 m, if the weather agrees.

  3. Day 03

    Annapurna Sanctuary

    4,130 m

    Land at ABC. Walk the moraine. Breakfast staring down Annapurna I. Unreal.

  4. Day 04

    Weather reserve

    822 m

    Spa, Sarangkot sunrise, or a second shot if weather ghosted us yesterday.

  5. Day 05

    Kali Gandaki gorge

    2,520 m

    The world's deepest gorge. Jomsom and the Thakali kitchens. Eat like you mean it.

  6. Day 06

    Return Kathmandu

    1,400 m

    Afternoon in Patan. Trip recap and a proper goodbye.
