Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek

At the Kathmandu Airport Terminal, our agent will be ready to transport you to the hotel we have reserved. Spend the remainder of the day touring the city and Thamel.

Our crew will assist you in getting the required permits and gathering all the essential gear to prepare you for the expedition. The hiking guide will then be introduced, and you may go over the specifics of the expedition. We’ll cheer you up with a welcome supper in the evening.

Early the following day, our tour bus departs Kathmandu and makes its way to Pokhara. We travel the roads cut into the Trishuli and Marshyndi rivers’ banks and hillsides.

This spectacular journey of approximately six hours is broken up with two stops for breakfast and lunch. During the drive, we are treated to beautiful views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains, rolling green hills, and lush forest valleys.

The air is fresh, and the scenery is breathtaking. By late afternoon, we arrive in Pokhara, where we can relax and explore this picturesque city. It’s a great way to end a wonderful day of sightseeing and travel.

We will go to Nayapul after breakfast, which will take approximately an hour and a half. We are treated to stunning vistas of woods and quaint villages as we travel over winding roads in Nepal’s high areas. The Annapurna mountains in the background offer a gorgeous backdrop for our adventure.

Upon arriving in Nayapul, we start our trek on foot. The first few hours are relatively easy, with gentle inclines and mostly flat terrain. As we continue, however, the path becomes steeper and more challenging.

By late afternoon, we will arrive in the village of Tike Dhunga and make our way to a local tea house. We will call off the day here to continue our trek with renewed energy and excitement for what lies ahead.

We’ll say our goodbyes to Tike Dhnge and begin our journey to Ulleri as the sun rises. Ulleri offers views of the Himalayan massifs nearby on a clear day, including Mount Annapurna South and Mount Hiunchuli.

After a short break, we will resume our five to six-hour walk toward Ghorepani. After traversing a rhododendron forest and ascending 30 minutes of steep stone steps, we arrive at Ghorepani.

It is one of the best tourist spots with cafes, restaurants, bars with billiard rooms, and gift shops. The village has a lovely atmosphere and is tucked away in the middle of a lovely forest.

Climbing Poon Hill first thing in the morning is difficult for many people, but it is well worth it. During the hour-and-a-half ascent uphill, you could see the sun rise over the beautiful Dhaulagiri and Annapurna peaks.

We leave Ghorepani and start to walk to Tadapani; on our way encountering a forest of Rhododendrons, all while still being in the shadow of Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Dhaulagiri, and Mt. Machhapuchhre.

After breakfast, we’ll trek for three hours this morning to arrive at Gurjung. The first two hours are a winding and steep descent, but things get more level after crossing a suspension bridge over the Kimrong Khola, though there is a lot of incline at the end.

Now at Gurjung, we will have lunch. After we’ve finished eating, we’ll spend around an hour hiking before finally reaching Chomromg village.

This village is famous for pizzas, with Annapurna South and Hiunchuli as the backdrop. It can be reached after a steep climb for the first 30 minutes, followed by a relatively flat ride for the next 30 minutes.

Today, the hike starts with a very steep descent of about forty minutes of steep stairs. Upon passing through Chomrong-Khola, the hike steeply heads up for another hour or so until it reaches the small town of Sinuwa.

After eating lunch, we will hike for a little over three hours to the village of Dovan. Along the way, there are lots of hills to go up and down for about an hour.

Our journey today will take us toward Deurali. We will encounter a gradual incline for the first 30 minutes, followed by a steep climb for the next 40 minutes. We pass through a large waterfall as we approach our destination.

Here we have the Deurali waterfall, it’s created from the mountain Mount Hiunchuli. Formations on all sides surround the village of Deurali, and one can only catch a glimpse of the top of Mount Machhapuchhre.

In the morning, we hike for about two hours to the Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC), which is characterized by thinning vegetation becoming rather arid towards the end.

A short break at MBC will leave you speechless when you see Mt Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South from another vantage point.

We’re going to resume walking after a break. Almost an hour of ascending later, we’ll be greeted by the looming frame of Annapurna I. The next hour loses some clarity, not as much as before we arrived at the base camp.

We can then admire Annapurna III, Machhapucchre, and Hiunchuli.

A sunrise view of Annapurna South and Annapurna I on the first day when our return journey begins the morning of our first day back. After breakfast, we drive back to Deurali for a tea break, followed by lunch at Himalaya Hotel. Bamboo Village is our overnight stop today.

Starting with an enjoyable meal in Sinuwa and a drink in Chhomrong, respectively, we experience an easier and less tense descent to Jhinu Danda. And in the end, our destination will be comfortable and relaxing Jhinu Danda Hot Springs.

After breakfast, we will take a three-hour walk to Siway. The walk will include 20 minutes of steep descents and gradual uphills from that point.

Several waterfalls and natural bee colonies may be seen along the path. We will drive for two hours to Pokhara following lunch in Siway.

In the morning, tour the Phewa Lake region in Pokhara before driving to Kathmandu for a 6–7-hour ride. Visit the Old Bazaar, its Shiva Temple, and a few other tourist attractions in Pokhara before heading to Kathmandu.

Today is your final day in Kathmandu; we will assist you with your flight back from Nepal. Our team will escort you to the airport, ensuring your journey is comfortable and safe. We hope that your trip to Annapurna has been enjoyable and that you will come back to visit us again in the future.
