We take our breakfast early and check out the hotel for Pokhara by bus. It is around six hours road trip to the beautiful city of Pokhara on the lap of the Annapurna range of the Himalaya (otherwise, we can also go by plane and reach Pokhara within 25 minutes which will cost around extra 200 USD per person). After we land in Pokhara, we will start the drive to Nayapul to start the trek today. It takes us about one and half hours to reach Nayapul. We will trek to Ghandruk village today. It is a beautiful Gurung village that offers a beautiful cultural experience and the view of the Annapurna range. After about four hours of trek, we reach Ghandruk to stay overnight.

After breakfast in the morning, we walk downhill to the Chhomrong stream and trek up to Khuldighar (2380m) and head towards Sinuwa. Now, the trail becomes a bit tougher through the rocky slope to reach to a place called Bamboo. The destination for today, Dovan, is another few hours of effort on the trail towards the Annapurna Base Camp. We eventually reach the destination to find ourselves deeper into the mountain and river gorge.
