Tourist buses cover Kathmandu to Pokhara both ways (about six hours each). Groups stay between 1 and 15 people from age 12. 📋 Key Details Days: 9 days from Kathmandu Ages: 12 and up High point: Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4500 m Group: 1 to 15 Travel: Tourist bus Kathmandu to Pokhara both ways 🥾 What to Expect A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport and takes you to a Kathmandu hotel. The next day you'll take the tourist bus to Pokhara, about six hours, and check into a hotel by the lake. Then you'll drive about an hour to Kande and walk via Australian Camp to Pritam Deurali for the first lodge night. The following days climb through forest and villages to Forest Camp, then about five hours up to High Camp at 3,580 metres. From there you'll walk to Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 metres. The high morning looks at the south face of Mardi Himal, the Annapurna wall, and Machhapuchhare, then you descend to Low Camp. You'll walk down to Sidding, drive back to Pokhara, and take the tourist bus home to Kathmandu. Lodge nights run on full board as listed. Hotel days include breakfast. Lunch on the bus days is your own. High Camp is cold after sunset, so bring a warm layer. 📍 Location Mardi Himal Base Camp sits at 4,500 metres on an open ridge above High Camp, with the south face of Mardi Himal, the Annapurna wall, and Machhapuchhare in view. The lower path runs through alpine forest and Gurung village land above Kande and Australian Camp. Pokhara is the lakeside hotel city at each end of the walking days. Kathmandu is where you start and finish, at Tribhuvan International Airport unless you are already in a city hotel. High Camp at 3,580 metres is cold after sunset. ✅ Prerequisites Forest days of about five hours should feel comfortable, then a steeper pull to High Camp and on to 4,500 metres. Previous high-altitude trekking is not required. The minimum age is 12. Bring a passport and broken-in boots. Tell us about any heart or lung condition before you come. Nights at High Camp are cold, so pack a warm jacket for the ridge. 💛 Why Choose Us Nine-day pace still needs bus seats, Kande and Sidding transfers, and lodge beds at Deurali, Forest Camp, High Camp, and Low Camp booked before you leave Kathmandu.

Nine days from airport pickup to the departure transfer. You take the tourist bus to Pokhara, drive to Kande, and walk via Australian Camp to Pritam Deurali, Forest Camp, and High Camp at 3,580 metres. The high day is Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 metres, then Low Camp, Sidding, and the drive back to Pokhara and Kathmandu. Walking days are about three hours on the first trail day and about five hours on the forest and high-camp days. The bus sections are about six hours each way between Kathmandu and Pokhara. ### Where do we sleep? Hotel nights are in Kathmandu at the start and end, and in Pokhara on the way in and on the way out. On the trail you sleep in teahouse lodges at Pritam Deurali, Forest Camp, High Camp, and Low Camp. Lodge rooms are simple: a bed, blankets, and a dining room. High Camp at 3,580 metres is cold after sunset. Bring a warm layer. ### How fit do I need to be? The minimum age is 12. You should be happy walking about five hours through forest and then a steeper day to High Camp and on to Mardi Himal Base Camp at 4,500 metres. You do not need previous high-altitude trekking. Tell us about any heart or lung condition when you book. A passport is required. ### What will we see? From High Camp and the base-camp ridge you look at the south face of Mardi Himal, the Annapurna wall, and Machhapuchhare. The lower days run through alpine forest and Gurung village land above Kande. Australian Camp sits on the first walking day between Kande and Pritam Deurali. The last walking day drops to Sidding before the drive to Pokhara. ### Which meals are included? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included on the lodge days. Hotel days include breakfast. Day one meals are not included. Lunch on the bus days is your own. Trail snacks, extra drinks, and tips are not included. Tell us about dietary needs when you book so the lodges can plan. ### What should I pack? Bring a water bottle, trail snacks, trek trousers, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a daypack, a torch, a small first-aid kit, and a hiking pole if you use one. A warm jacket is essential at High Camp. Your passport is required. Keep luggage to what you can manage on the bus and the lodge nights. ### Can I cancel? You can cancel up to 24 hours before the trip for a full refund, in line with the Flexible policy. If cloud or snow sits on the ridge, your guide will hold the group at High Camp or Low Camp and move the base-camp day when the path is safe. ### Where do we meet? A representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport on day one and takes you to the hotel. The last morning is a transfer back to the same airport. Have your flight details ready when you book. If you are already in a Kathmandu hotel, tell us so we can collect you there. ### What is included? The booking includes the English-speaking guide, hotel and lodge nights as listed, meals on the trail days, the tourist-bus sections, and the airport transfers. International flights, Nepal visa, lunch on the bus days, tips, and travel insurance are not included. Permits are arranged as part of the trip. ### Is a certificate included? This is a guided lodge trek, not a qualification course. You will not receive a trekking award. Your guide stays with you from the airport through High Camp, Mardi Himal Base Camp, and the return bus to Kathmandu. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/60d4d7ad-8d9a-4458-a748-390fb923f16e-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
