Another precipitous stone staircase guides our way today as we descend towards the Chhomrong Khola. We shift gears at that point and will climb in the direction of Modi Khola, traveling its west bank, and pass through leafy bamboo forests. More upward travel awaits us in the afternoon as we head towards Kuldi and then another staircase down to Dovan from where we will continue another hour to Himalaya Hotel, where we'll rest after a vigorous day.

DAY 8 : Himalaya Hotel (or Deurali) to Annapurna Base Camp>

Maximum height: 4130m | 6 - 7 hours of walking

You'll feel the bite of the thin air today as we climb high above our starting point of Himalaya Hotel, overlooking a river far below. We'll scale the lateral moraine of a shimmering glacier and then come down the other side to the glacier bed before reaching the Annapurna Base Camp. A breathtaking 4,237m above sea level, this is our stopping point for the night. It's time to reap the rewards of your hard trekking work! Miles above earth, we have all day today to wander the base camp and drink in the beauty and majesty of Annapurna.The sunrise and sunset are spectacular displays of natural theater, and not to be missed. Make sure your camera is charged!

DAY 9 : Annapurna Base Camp - Bamboo (2310m) >

We'll savor one last fiery Annapurna sunrise before beginning our trek down the mountain. Our route today ends in the village of Bamboo, named for the dense forest of tall bamboo that surrounds it. From the Annapurna base camp we retrace our steps to Bamboo. Today’s trek is downhill, so it shouldn’t be very difficult. Besides, we will always have the company of the extraordinary landscape to cheer us up.

DAY 10 : Bamboo to Jhinu Danda >

Maximum height: 1760m | 5 - 6 hours of walking

From Bamboo, it is an uphill trek to Kuldighar followed by a downhill walk to Chhomrong Khola. Then we climb the stone steps to Chhomrong.
