Trekking Guide’s Diary
Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Day 2: Drive to Birethati and Trek to Ulleri
We started the day at 8:30 am, leaving the peaceful lakeside of Pokhara and embarking on a scenic drive to Birethanti. The weather was sunny, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and terraced farmlands along the way.
At Birethanti (1,025m), we officially began our trek. The trail started gently, winding through charming villages, terrace and paddy field. After lunch at Tikhedhunga, the ascent became steeper, the real challenge came – a steep climb of over 3,000 stone steps up to Ulleri (2,050m). It was tough but rewarding, with the team pushing through with great energy and determination.
We reached Ulleri by 2 pm and checked into Superview Hotel, a comfortable spot with incredible panoramic view. Everyone’s excited for tomorrow as we continue deeper into the Annapurna region.
