Route Overview

The Annapurna Family Hike is an interesting trip. Let’s have a look at the route of the Annapurna Family Hike.

First of all, the trip begins with your arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport. You’ll be greeted by one of our staff, who’ll be present holding a Nepal Hiking Team display board. He’ll then escort you and take you to the hotel. There are fun plans for the other day.

In the morning, we drive to visit the UNESCO sites Pashupatinath Temple and Boudhanath Stupa and continue to Bhaktapur.  From the ancient city, we head towards Nagarkot to see the beautiful sunset. The next morning, you’ll wake up early to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas from Nagarkot. Then you'll head back to Kathmandu, where you can spend the rest of the day exploring the city on your own. Later, we’ll take a scenic drive from Kathmandu to the beautiful city of Pokhara.

We’ll then start the first hike of the trip. The hike will begin from Pokhara and to Australian Camp, a small village with stunning views of the surrounding Himalayas. Then, we will continue the trek to Sarangkot, another picturesque village with incredible views of the Himalayas. With this, the hike comes to an end, and we descend down to Pokhara.

When is the best time for the Annapurna Family Hike?

The Annapurna Family Hike highlights major tourist attractions and also activities like sightseeing, hikes, and also sunrises. Hence, you should be careful while choosing the dates for the hike.

The best time for the hike is in the seasons of spring and autumn. The spring season (March-May) welcomes hikers with clear skies and moderate temperatures. Likewise, in the autumn season (September- November), the weather is generally stable and dry, with clear skies and great visibility of the mountains.

We do not suggest the hike during the monsoon or winter season. Hikers will face problems walking through muddy and slippery trails and low visibility of the mountain ranges. Hence, it is best to choose only the best time.

How Difficult Is The Annapurna Family Hike?

The Annapurna Family Hike is an easy trip that any age group can easily complete. It is specially created for families, especially those with elderly and kids.

The hike from Pokhara, Australian Camp, to Sarangkot is an easy one. The route is not a challenging one; hence beginner-level hikers can also opt for this hike.

As for the altitude, the highest elevation we reach on this trip is 1900m at Australian Camp. There is little to no chance of acquiring altitude sickness at this altitude level.

Therefore, you can be assured that the Annapurna Family Hike is not a challenging one.
