Tour overview

This is the classic route into the Annapurna Sanctuary, and it is the trek we recommend to anyone walking in Nepal for the first time. You climb through rhododendron forest to Poon Hill for sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South, then follow the Modi Khola gorge up into the amphitheatre of peaks at Annapurna Base Camp, 4,130 metres.

It is a teahouse trek. You sleep in lodges, not tents, and you walk five to seven hours a day. No previous high-altitude experience is needed, but you should be comfortable on your feet for a week and able to manage stone staircases, of which there are many.

Our price covers your guide, your permits, your accommodation and all three meals a day on trek. Domestic flights are not included and are quoted separately.

Highlights

Trek to the world-famous Everest Base Camp
Enjoy the amazing view of the Himalayas from Kala Patthar
Travel through the Sherpa villages of Namche, Khumjung, Khunde, and Dingboche
Visit Tengboche the biggest and oldest monastery n the region.

Day-by-day itinerary

DAY01Day 01

Kathmandu to Pokhara (By flight or Bus), the city of Lakes, adventures and serenity.

Arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, Kathmandu, you are welcomed by the team and then you will be transferred to your hotel. This trail goes through Ghorepani Poon Hill. Normally, the trek starts like Pokhara to Nayapul and ends like Phedi to Pokhara. While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible. The evolution of technology in such diverse fields as horse tack and bullet trains has contributed to this trend.

DAY02Day 02

Drive to Nayapul and trek to Ulleri

While early travel tended to be slower, more dangerous, and more dominated by trade and migration, cultural and technological advances over many years have tended to mean that travel has become easier and more accessible. The evolution of technology in such diverse fields as horse tack and bullet trains has contributed to this trend.

DAY03Day 03

Trek to Ghorepani

The Palace of Fifty five Windows: This magnificent palace was built during the reign of King Yakshya Malla in A.D. 1427 and was subsequently remodeled by King Bhupatindra Malla in the seventeenth century. Among the brick walls with their gracious setting and sculptural design, is a balcony with Fifty five Windows, considered to be a unique masterpiece of woodcarving.

DAY04Day 04

Early trek to Poon Hill, Back to Ghorepani and Trek to Tadapani

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts.

Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

DAY05Day 05

Tadapani to Chomrong

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of  Dan decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

DAY06Day 06

Chomrong to Dobhan (Dovan)

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

DAY07Day 07

Dovan to Deurali

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek.

DAY08Day 8

Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp via Machhapuchhre Base Camp

The day the trek has been building towards. You leave the tree line behind and walk up into the sanctuary itself, stopping at Machhapuchhre Base Camp before the final stretch to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 metres. Roughly five hours, but slowly, because of the altitude. Afternoons here usually cloud over, so we aim to arrive early.

DAY09Day 9

Sunrise at Annapurna Base Camp, descend to Bamboo

Up before dawn for first light on Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre standing right around you. After breakfast the long descent begins, back down the gorge to Bamboo. Downhill all day and harder on the knees than the climb up.

DAY10Day 10

Bamboo to Jhinu Danda, hot springs, drive to Pokhara

A shorter walking day down to Jhinu Danda, where there are natural hot springs a twenty-minute walk below the village. Worth the detour after nine days on the trail. From New Bridge our vehicle takes you back to Pokhara for a proper bed and a proper shower.

DAY11Day 11

Pokhara to Kathmandu

Back to Kathmandu by road or by air, whichever you prefer. The drive is six to eight hours; the flight is twenty-five minutes. We drop you at your hotel or at the airport.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions our travellers ask before they book, answered by the family who drives these routes.','goindianepal'); ?>

Annapurna Base Camp is a Grade B or a moderately difficult trekking route. So any fit person can do this trek, even if you do not have any previous experience. You should be aware of what to expect and mentally prepare for it. Then, as long as you will too, you can.

On average, you walk about 4 to 6 hours per day. One or two days can be as less as 3hrs and one or two days can be as long as 7hrs.

The highest altitude reached is 4190m. This is the elevation of Annapurna Base Camp. ABC is the highest we will climb in this trek.

Yes, you can charge batteries en route. Charger should be brought. There are hot shower facilities as well. You may have to pay a certain amount for both ($1-$2). Negotiate. Also, a hot water facility could be free at a lower elevation.

No. There are no ATMs on this trek route. You will have to draw enough cash in Pokhara or Kathmandu. There are a number of ATMs in these cities. Everything is paid in Nepali rupees. So money should be exchanged before the start of the trek.

Yes. The Internet can be accessed in most places. Sometimes, there might be some technical problems. The Internet in Nepal is not as fast as you are used to and at times you can just lose connection.

Not really. It depends on you. If you want, ABC trekking can be done independently. You could hire a guide and a porter by yourself instead of going through an agency or not hire a guide at all. Although, not having a guide can be a little problematic during the offseason.

It really depends on you. Is it your first time in Nepal? How confident are you of being able to find your way around? How pressed on time are you? If you go through an agency, it will be costlier but everything will be planned. You will only have to come, trek and return.

For the Annapurna region, pay for guides range from $20 to $30 per day and porters take $15 to $25 per day.
