Bonjour à tous,
Voilà je prévois un trek sur le népal fin septembre, et j'aurais avoir votre avis.
Voilà 2 h que je cherche sur le forum et j'ai pas trouvé de poste traitant de cette itinéraire.
Itinéraire
1= kathmandu to pokhara by plane and guide will come by bus.
2= Pokhara to lumle by taxi.than walk to birethanti and night in Hille.(1430m) 4h.
3= Hille to Ghorepani.(2860m) 5h.
4=Ghorepani to poonHill (3200m 1h) look panoromic views of mountains than depart to Tadapani.(2630m)6hour.
5=Tadapani to ghandruk.(1940m)3 hour. gurung village.
6= Ghandruk to Doban.(2600m) 6h.
7= Doban To MBC.(3700m)4hour.

9=Dobhan to Landruk than Austrian Camp. 7h.
10=Austrian Camp to sarangkot than decent to pokhara.(820m)7h.
heu... il s'agit du camp de base de l'annapurna. trek classique.
qu'en dire ? l'arrivée à 3700m pour une nuit peut-être difficile et un aller-retour au camp de base pour une photo (sans nuit) me semble un peu rapide.
prendre son temps, s'acclimater tranquille et profiter des paysages ! d'ou +2 jours !
Voilà 2 h que je cherche sur le forum et j'ai pas trouvé de poste traitant de cette itinéraire.
Comme dit plus haut, c'est un classique. Connu sous les noms "Camp de base de l'Annapurna" ou "Sanctuaire des Annapurnas".
Tu devrais trouver plein d'info en cherchant avec le mot "annapurna"
J'ai effectué ce trek en 2005, voir ici www.annapurna.dubuis.net
Il est dommage de monter à l'ABC et de ne pas y passer une nuit, tu risques d'être frustré 🤪 Le Sanctuaire est splendide.
Je vous remercie.
Pour vos infos.
Je vais donc chercher sur Camp de base de l'Annapurna" ou "Sanctuaire des Annapurnas".
J'ai vu qu'on parlais assez souvent du "tours de annapurna", ou "balcon de annapurnas"...
Bref je me doutait qu'il y avais un nom plus précis.
A vrai dire, le truc c'est que ce trek est notre voyage de noce, ce sera notre premier trek en montagne.
Du coup, on va prendre un guide, histoire de la jouée relaxe.
Ensuite, concernant la durée, on ne peut pas partir plus de temps, les jours sont compté, c'est serré serré, donc malheureusement je suppose qu'il n'y a pas de possibilité de dormir là-haut.
Ce trek sera de toute façon un expérience magique, avec ou sans cette nuit en haut.
Il y a toujours mieux, mais l'important est de savoir profité.
Une question concernant le matos, j'ai vu sur le forum qu'il fallait un duvet -10 à 200€?????
Sachant que l'on vie en Asie du sud Est, les -10 on les vois jamais hormis dans les congélo, donc investir dans une telles sommes pour 10 nuit ca fais chère et ca augmente pas mal le budget.
J'ai lu que l'on pouvais louer des duvet KTM, mais il fallait un porteur? pourquoi il pese 15Kg ces duvet?
Merci à vous pour votre aide, vos avis et votre expérience.
Oui tu peu louer les duvets. Aucun rapport avec le porteur.
Le porteur est la pour porter tes baggages, pour te permettre de ne porter qu'un petit sac, ce qui est plus agréable en alltitude.
Ne pas confondre tour des annapurnas et camp de base de l'annapurna. Le tour est plus long, et il ne passe pas forcément par le camp de base.
Tape dans la section recherche "camp de base de l'annapurna", "materiel pour trek au népal" etc, tu aura toutes les informations, qui ont déja été données
Le programme proposé n'est pas bon.
Le passage par Ghandruk rallonge le parcours. Si le temps est limité, il vaut mieux aller sur Chomrong.
L'étape Doban - MBC est trop longue. Il est nécessaire de faire une étape intermédiaire. De plus, la montée sans acclimatation de 2600 à 3700 mètres est idéale pour connaître les problèmes d'altitude.
Le retour en deux jours est une vraie course à pied. Il faut vraiment le faire en trois jours.
A mon avis, si vous n'avez pas plus te temps, contentez vous des Balcons des Annapurnas, sans aller au camb de base. Avec peu de temps, il y a aussi le Langtang qui peut offrir une belle alternative.
En fin septembre, il y a encore des risques de pluie de fin de mousson.
Je vous souhaite un magnifique voyage de noce, dans une des plus belles régions du monde.
Apporter quelque chose au pays en utilisant les infrastructure locales. Au Népal, jamais sans guide et porteurs.
Je vous remercie pour vos réponses.
@p0uLeT
Effectivement le duvet et le porteur n'ont pas de rapport,
puisqu'un duvet sert à dormir
et un porteur à porter (à moins que l'on parle du duvet du porteur).
Mais je faisais allusion à plusieurs discussion que j'avais trouvée en cherchant des info sur le matériel
Cf: un message de "simon":http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=2601238;search_string=materiel%20pour%20trek%20au%20n%E9pal;
Le point le plus délicat restant le duvet. Neuf, compte bien 200€, ou sinon il faut chercher d'occasion sur les forums.
Quand à les louer c'est possible, mais ils sont souvant intransportable, ils sont très volumineux (voila pourquoi je te demandais si tu partais avec porteur ou pas )
@Bazé
Merci pour toute ces infos.
J'en prendrais compte, c'est l'itinéraire que ma donner un guide népalais.
Je réfléchit éventuellement à d'autre itinéraire à partir d'une autre discussion avec le dernier message d'aventure:
http://voyageforum.com/voyage/nepal_trek_annapurna_en_septembre_D3931/
Sachant que nous aimerions avant tout rencontrer les népalais, pas trop touristique, trouver de jolie village escarpé à flanc de montagne, et monter un peu montagne,
le sentier de Langtang et de Goshainkunda
ou bien dans les région de Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Rolwalling, Dolpo ou Kanchanjunga
Bon après tous ceci est pour moi du chinois ne connaissant pas du tout le pays.
C’est une super idée de faire un trek au Nepal comme voyage de mariage !
Par rapport à votre programme, le problème c’est le manque de temps pour l’acclimatation. C’est vraiment très dangereux d’avoir des dénivelés aussi importants en si peu de temps pour monter au camp de base. Par rapport au temps que vous avez, je vous conseille ce programme un peu plus long mais plus adapte.
1er jour: Départ de Katmandou en avion (25 minutes) pour Pokhara survolant la chaîne Himalayenne, l’hôtel près du lac.
2ème jour: Départ de Pokhara – en taxi (1h30) à Naya Pull et trek jusqu'à Thikhedunga Altitude 1540 mètres – 3 heures de marche.
3ème jour: Thikhedunga – Ghorepani Altitude 2860 mètres 6 heures de marche.
4ème jour: Ghorepani – Tadapani. Altitude 2630 mètres 5 heures de marche (Réveil à 5 heure du matin pour aller profiter du lever de soleil sur la chaine Himalaya à Poon Hill, 3200 mètres d’altitude, environ 1 heure de marche).
5ème jour: Tadapani – Chhomorong. Altitude 2170 mètres 5 heures de marche.
6ème jour: Chhomorong – Bambu (bamboo). Altitude 2310 mètres 5 heures de marche.
7ème jour: Bambu – Deurali Altitude. 3230 mètres 5 heures de marche.
8ème jour: Deurali – Camp de Base de Sud Annapurna (ABC). Altitude 4130 mètres 5 heures de marche (En passant par le camp de base de Machhapuchhare).
9ème jour: Camp de Base de Sud Annapurna (ABC) – Sinuwa. Altitude 2360 mètres 8 heures de marche (Lever du soleil sur la chaîne Himalayenne).
10ème jour: Sinuwa – Jhinu Danda. Altitude 1780 mètres 5 heures de marche (Baignade en source d’eau chaude naturelle).
11ème jour: Jhinu Danda – Tolka (Tolga). Altitude 1700 mètres 5 heures de marche.
12ème jour: Tolka (Tolga) – Dhampus. Altitude 1650 mètres 5 heures de marche.
13ème jour: Dhampus – Phedi et Pokhara (3 heures de marche jusqu'à Phedi et 3/4 d’heure en taxi pour Pokhara, retour au même hôtel).
14ème jour: Journée libre à Pokhara visite de ses lacs et ses alentours.
15ème jour: Départ de Pokhara en bus touristique pour Katmandou retour au même hôtel (Environ 7 heures de route en longeant villages et rizières).
Si vraiment vous ne pouvez pas partir aussi longtemps, vous pouvez très bien faire un trek dans le Balcon des Annapurnas en 8 jours de marche (Ghorepani-Poon Hill) qui sera bien adapte pour une première expérience au Népal. Pour les sacs de couchage cela dépend, en location on trouve de tout. Pour le camp de base, la température peut descendre jusqu'à -5, -10 degrés par contre pour Ghorepani elle peut aller jusqu'à 0, 5 degrés la nuit. Le sac sera donc différent.
Si vous voulez des conseils n’hésitez pas à me demander.
Vous ne devez pas fixer votre itineraire jour par jour avant le depart, vous pouvez decided chaque jour sur place ou vous vous arretez. Meme si vous prenez un guide et porteur, c'est vous qui devez decider. Si votre temps est restreint, il vaut mieux le faire dans l'autre sens, commencer par ABC avant Ghorepani, comme cela si vous manquez de temps vous pouvez annuller Ghorepani et revenir de suite.
Je suis un tres bon randonneur, mais notez que j'ai fait tout ce trek (excepte le detour par Ghandruk) seul en 7 jours. Donc 10 jours vous avez quand meme de la marge.
Bon finalement, après discussion l'itinéraire à été modifié.
Day 01: Kathmandu to Pokhara by Tourist bus or Flight.
Day 02: Pokhara to Nayapul by taxi and walking Ulleri (1960m) 6 hour.
Day 03: Ulleri to Ghorepani. (2860m) 4 hour.
Day 04: Ghorepani to Poon Hill (3200m) Early in the morning for superb Views of Dhaulagiri(8167m), Tukuche peak (6920m), Nilgiri(7041m), Annapurna south(7219m) Annapurna I(8091m), Hiunchuli (6441m), Machhapuchhare (6998m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Annapurna II (7939m),
Lamjung Himal(6986m) Etc.Breakfast in Ghorepani and continue to Tadapani (2630m)5hour.
Day 05: Tadapani to Chhomrong(2170m)5 to 6hours. Gurung village.
Day 06: Chhomrong to Ghandruk (1940m) 5hours. big Gurang Village.
Day 07: Ghandruk To Nayapul 4hours and take taxi to pokhara.
Day 08 : Pokhara to Kathmandu by Tourist Bus.
Si vous souhaitez partagez votre avis sur ce trek.
Et si vous connaissez un bon guide merci de me le communiquez par MP, car le notre est malheureusement pris sur nos date.
dans le cadre d'un voyage de noce évite l'Everest où vous atteindriez le Nirvana direct au dessus de 3000 ;), ce ne serait pas très romantique.
et toujours dans le cadre d'un voyage de noce le mieux c'est le round Annapurna, car vous y trouverez des lodges avec tout confort, si vous voulez vous reposer quelques et profiter de visiter les villages et les temples, monatères, fermes à proximité.
... de quoi ne pas repartir avec des mauvais souvenirs et profiter au maximum ...

Hi,
We’re planning to do the 4-day trek from Mestia to Ushguli without an agency. The descriptions mention that there are accommodations at each stop, but we can’t find any details about them. Has anyone got info or feedback on this route?
We're planning to trek in Peru and Bolivia and would love to find some local agencies.
If you know any, could you share details on prices and, of course, the names of the agencies?
Which trek would you recommend?
Elocine
I'm heading out on a fully self-sufficient trek in Morocco (10 days) from Imilchil to Aghbalou.
Can I find screw-on gas canisters (Coleman, Primus) in Marrakech (any addresses?) or in villages between Imilchil and Aghbalou?
If not, are Butagaz canisters for camping gas (small 230g size) available?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hello, I’d like to embark on a little trip in my home country, Switzerland. I’ll start walking from La Cure, heading toward Le Noirmont first, then I’ll improvise my route—but it’ll probably follow the French border... at least as far as Lac de Joux.
I’ll decide day by day how much farther to go after that. My goal is to stay in nature as much as possible, wander around for as long as I can, and restock food in villages or towns along the way.
I’m thinking of mostly camping, but we’ll see if I end up in a hotel or another campsite depending on my route.
I’d love to reach La Chaux-de-Fonds on foot... maybe even Delémont.
The whole thing should take about a week, give or take.
I’ll be bringing my dog, and I’m preparing for this as soon as I’m ready.
Any tips to make sure everything goes smoothly for us? Things I should know—or avoid? What about shepherds with their flocks of sheep? And isn’t hunting season open right now?
I’m not sure if what I’m planning is even doable, which is why I’m asking around.
This’ll be my first time doing something like this—wandering in nature *and* with a dog. I’m really excited for this adventure... and I need it. Thanks!
We’re really keen on ecosystems and want to hike in "natural" ancient forests—not planted woods or areas heavily degraded by human activity. Travel guides (like Lonely Planet) don’t provide much info on this. Could you point us to the most interesting spots?
Thanks in advance for your tips.
We wish you happy holidays and a fantastic 2026, full of discoveries!
Claire and Albert
Hi, this might not be the right section, but I’d like to know if it’s possible to start mountaineering with another person without necessarily hiring a guide. We’ve done quite a bit of hiking but not mountaineering—we’ll just do a half-day glacier course. After that, we were thinking of starting with La Grande Motte and the Pointe de la Traversière, which were recommended to us. Honestly, for things like roping up and knots, I’ll learn at home with lots of videos and a book.
I’d love to know if anyone has done treks in the Rwenzori Mountains and how much it costs on average, what the infrastructure is like, the landscapes, and safety in the area. Thanks so much! I’m really looking forward to your replies.
We’re leaving in 9 days for a two-week trip to Madeira, mainly to hike.
From my research, I’ve found that since last year, access to most trails—and systematically for the most popular ones—is now paid. You have to pay an access fee of 4.50 € per person per classified hike in 2026, and even 10.50 € for the most iconic hike: Pico Arieiro to Pico Ruivo. When paying, you also have to choose a day and a 30-minute time slot for your start time. Of course, this reservation is neither changeable nor refundable, even if the weather that day is terrible.
Personally, given the massive influx of tourists to the island in recent years, I don’t mind paying a fee to help maintain the trails. Similarly, setting a limit on the number of people who can hike them per day is certainly preferable to preserve this priceless heritage.
However, what’s much less fair is that in reality, most of the available spots are reserved: 1/ for Madeira residents (which is normal); 2/ for "economic operators" (meaning local tour operators). For example, if you’re a non-resident (independent tourist), no booking is possible for the Pico Arieiro hike for an early morning start before September! So, unfortunately, we’ll have to skip this hike.
It’s the same issue for Ponta de São Lourenço, the 25 Fontes, Pico Ruivo... in short, all the most popular hikes. Oh well, we’ll skip those too!
So my question is: which hikes do you recommend where we won’t face the huge crowds that the others get? And where we can book the day before for the next day, taking the weather into account?
Finally, a quick accommodation question: we’ve booked the first week in Funchal, but I haven’t decided yet for the second week. Do you have any advice on where to stay in the south or north, preferably avoiding overly concrete-heavy and touristy spots?
I’m reposting about the logistics for Samaria Gorge.
I’d love to get recent info, especially about whether it’s possible to park my car in Omalos, do the hike, and then catch a bus back to my vehicle.
In theory, it’s doable, but when you check the KTEL website, there aren’t any feasible schedules listed. If anyone has recently organized this with reliable, verified details, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
We’re flying from Montreal to Lyon this August to go hiking in the French Alps. We’ve rented a car and will be staying at campgrounds. We’re planning to do day hikes and want to stay a few days in one spot, do a few hikes, then move on to our next camping spot. Could you share your favorite spots or any recommendations for places to spend a few days with great hikes?
A few details:
We arrive in early August and leave in early September.
We’re looking for day hikes (or shorter), moderate difficulty, with a cumulative elevation gain of no more than 1000m, and of course, beautiful scenery!
We’d prefer not to drive too much—maybe it’s best not to head too far south and deal with unnecessary heat?
Along the same lines, if you know of any great campgrounds where we can start our hike directly without needing the car, we’d love to hear your suggestions!
Hi there,
I’m planning to go hiking on this island and would like to know the best time to do it. I visited for a few days in November 2018—not for hiking but just to explore—and the weather wasn’t great, especially in the mountains. So, is a star-shaped itinerary doable if I rent a car and maybe use two different accommodations?
I’m not planning to join an organized group—just traveling with one other person and organizing things ourselves—unless you’d recommend a local agency or guide. Finally, even though I’ll be getting maps, a topo guide, and a GPS, I’d really appreciate your top hiking recommendations.
Thanks so much for your tips!
I’m planning to do the Mercantour crossing following the Randoxygène route in mid-July.
I’m used to hiking in the mountains, but I sometimes get vertigo, for example on ridges with drops on both sides. I wanted to check if there are any T4 or T3-T4 sections and find out if there are any very exposed passages—and if so, where—so I can plan an alternative route.
Can anyone give me some info on this?
Thanks!
I’m planning a trip around Cap Corse and the AGRIATES in 2026, from May 8th to 15th (there are still 2 spots left, by the way! Just DM me if you're interested).
I’d love to know which hikes are worth prioritizing in the AGRIATES. We’ll be staying in SALECCIA for two days as our base—what should we focus on from there?
A round trip to IGNHU beach? Any other suggestions?
For Ostricano, I think it’s too far for a round trip...
Thanks for your tips!
Have a great day,
Anie, Toulouse
I’d like to get some info about the GR10 Pyrenees traverse. I need help planning the daily stages and accommodations—my wife isn’t an experienced hiker but walks a lot, so I’d like to schedule shorter walking days and thus a longer overall trip in terms of number of days.
Could anyone give me some help and advice?
Best regards,
New to this forum, I’m planning a pretty big project for 2028.
I’m heading to Nepal to do a trek from Kathmandu all the way to Everest Base Camp (a cool 5,300 m 😄).
This trek is a bit special because even though I’ll be part of a group, I’m going solo (so far, no problem—I’m used to it). But it’s my first real trek, and it’s also a humanitarian one: once I reach base camp, I’ll stay an extra week to help clean up the waste left by tens of thousands of climbers! Since I’m originally from South America, from two countries that share the Andes, I have a deep respect for mountains—they fascinate me. So Everest… it’s kind of the trip of a lifetime!
So, a little question for those who’ve done treks to Everest before… any tips for good mental preparation (I’m already working on the physical side)?
Hi there, I’m planning the Annapurna Circuit for March 2027 and I’m looking for a local agency with a local guide—preferably French-speaking—to arrange this trek for us. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hello!
We’re spending a few days in Toraja country at the end of May. We’d love to do a day trek—taking our time—on a route that’s stunning in terms of scenery, but not a level 5 in difficulty!
Any suggestions you can share, please?
Thanks in advance
I’d like to do the Mare a Mare Sud in May over 4 days. I’ve found quite a few places to stay along the route, but I’m stuck on the start and finish.
I’ll be arriving by plane on Sunday evening and would like to start pretty early on Monday morning. Ideally, accommodation right at the trailhead (Alzu di Gallina) would be amazing, but I can’t find anything. Any tips?
Also, for the transfer from Figari Airport to Porto Vecchio or Alzu di Gallina?
At the end, I’d like to pick up a rental car—any advice on that too?
I’m traveling solo by plane to Catania in May and plan to hike the northern side of Etna, starting from Linguaglossa where I’ll arrive by bus. After that, I’d love some info on how to get up to Piano Provenzana (shuttles or hitchhiking), since it seems there’s no public transport except in the summer. Can you sleep there in a free or cheap refuge, or camp? And how far up can you go without having to hire a guide? Thanks in advance. Bernard.
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Morocco in August and we’ll start with a stop in Chefchaouen (we’re driving).
My question: can anyone suggest a 5-to-7-day loop hiking route from Chefchaouen in Talassemtane Park, ideally passing by the God’s Bridge? Or a paper guidebook that covers a few options?
We prefer wild camping and guesthouses.
Thanks in advance
Hi there, for those who’ve been recently—is it possible to find other solo travelers in March on the island to share transport or room costs? It doesn’t seem easy to travel on a budget.
If you have any recommendations for simple lodgings or places with dorms, I’d love to hear them.
For those who’ve done multi-day treks while moving around: do you need to bring your own sleeping bag? I’d love to hear about itineraries you’ve done without a guide, just with a map and GPS.
Thanks, and have a great day!
Hi everyone!
We’re planning a 15-day road trip to Scotland this summer, specifically to explore and hike on Lewis and Harris—places we’ve never been before. We’ve visited other islands on previous road trips in Scotland (we usually go in April for a week). This would be our first time in Scotland in the summer and for 15 days. We’re looking at late August to early September.
I’m currently drafting the itinerary. We’d be crossing from Ullapool and were thinking of spending 3 nights on Harris and 4 nights on Lewis.
Does that sound balanced to you? Is it better to keep the same accommodation on Harris and the same on Lewis to explore the area? I’d love to hear about any past experiences you’ve had on these islands.
Thanks!
Hi there, I’m trying to leave for 15 days very soon to São Vicente. I’m either looking to join an agency or figure things out on my own to go hiking on one of these islands or both. From what I’ve seen, it’s not easy to organize with local transport, so it gets expensive. Can I use the services of a small local agency? I’m looking for the simplest way to hike for several days. Also, how do you get from São Vicente to São Nicolau? Thanks in advance and have a great day!
Aichatou
I’ve been wanting to do this for several years, and this year’s the one. Next September, I’ll be trekking in Tusheti (Georgia), from Omalo to Shatili.
Of course, I won’t be renting a vehicle that’d just sit unused. No problem getting to Pshaveli, but from there to Omalo, it’s a dirt road (still the case?)
There must be some form of public transport since there are so many guesthouses, and not all travelers come in a 4x4.
If any of you have been to Omalo, could you confirm that these shared transports exist and how often they run?
we’re planning a trip to Yellowstone and hoping to do a three-day backcountry hike if we get a permit.
if any of you have done this before, could you let me know if it’s possible to find water along the way? And if we can transport it, are we allowed to use a stove?
Hello,
I’ll be in Nepal from March 6th to 29th (we’re flying into Kathmandu via Varanasi and leaving via Delhi).
I’m a bit confused about the regulations requiring a guide.
My wife and I (we’re 63 and 64) aren’t experienced trekkers—we’re more used to walking on terrain with very moderate elevation changes. I’m looking for fairly easy hikes, possibly day trips.
Here are my questions:
- Does the Poon Hill trek from Pokhara require a guide, or is it better to go through a local agency? (I’ve seen a lot of them offering 4-day packages)
- I’d like to do a few multi-day hikes around Jomsom (Kagbeni, Mukitinath, Lupra, Marpha)... Do you need a guide for those, and can you find accommodations easily without booking in advance?
Last question—I’m really hesitant to lug around a sleeping bag or down jacket during our 6 weeks in India. Can you easily find these kinds of items at reasonable prices in Pokhara?
Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Yann
I’m a 56-year-old man who’s done several treks in Nepal and elsewhere. Also passionate about photography.
I’m looking for one or more people to form a group for a trek in Nepal. The trek is the Annapurna and Manaslu circuit (24 days), including a stop at Tilicho Lake. I’ve got a great itinerary and the local company seems solid. The price is around $1600.
I’ll be in Nepal from April 5 to May 12, 2026, so the trek would need to happen within those dates.
