Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Upon landing at Tribhuvan International Airport (1,400m), our representative will warmly welcome you and assist with your transfer to the hotel. After checking in, you can relax and recover from your journey. Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the vibrant streets of Thamel or simply rest at the hotel. In the evening, we will provide a short briefing about your upcoming trek.

After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara (820m), which takes about 6–7 hours by tourist bus. Along the way, enjoy the picturesque views of rivers, terraced fields, charming villages, and rolling green hills with glimpses of snow-capped peaks in the distance. Pokhara, often called the "City of Lakes," offers a relaxing atmosphere with the serene Phewa Lake and stunning mountain views. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and spend the evening exploring the lakeside area or relaxing before the trek begins.

After breakfast in Pokhara, you will take a short drive of about 1.5 hours to Birethanti (1,025m), the official starting point of your trek. From here, the trail follows the Bhurungdi Khola, passing through beautiful villages, terraced fields, and lush forests. You will cross small suspension bridges and enjoy the sights of rural life along the way. The trek gradually ascends until Tikhedhunga, where a steep stone staircase awaits. Climbing around 3,200 stone steps leads you to Ulleri (2,020m), a charming Magar village. From Ulleri, you are rewarded with spectacular views of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli, making the climb worthwhile.

Today’s trek takes you deeper into the heart of the Annapurna region. After leaving Ulleri, the trail continues with a gentle yet steady ascent through dense rhododendron and oak forests. In spring, the rhododendrons bloom in vibrant shades of red and pink, creating a magical atmosphere. Along the way, you pass through Banthanti (2,250m) and Nangethanti (2,460m), small settlements

The day begins with an early morning hike to Poon Hill (3,210m), one of the most famous viewpoints in Nepal. From the top, you are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, including peaks like Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri. After soaking in the views and taking photos, you return to Ghorepani for breakfast.

The trek then continues towards Tadapani, with trails passing through lush rhododendron forests, waterfalls, and scenic ridges. Along the way, you’ll enjoy mountain views and the chance to spot Himalayan birds and wildlife. After around 5–6 hours of trekking, you’ll reach Tadapani, a charming village surrounded by forests and offering clear views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.

After breakfast in Tadapani, the trail descends steeply through dense rhododendron and oak forests before reaching the charming Gurung village of Chomrong (2,170m), the gateway to the Annapurna Sanctuary. From Chomrong, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain).

The trek continues with a long descent down stone steps to cross the Chomrong Khola (river), followed by a steady uphill climb through terraced fields and forested paths to reach Sinuwa (2,340m). This peaceful village is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a tranquil resting spot with stunning Himalayan views.

From Sinuwa, the trail leads deeper into the Annapurna Sanctuary, with a mix of ascents and descents through thick bamboo and rhododendron forests. You’ll first pass Bamboo (2,310m) and then Dovan (2,505m), small settlements offering peaceful resting points. The trail continues along the Modi Khola valley, surrounded by steep cliffs and waterfalls.

Gradually, the forest thins out as you climb higher toward Himalaya (2,920m), where the landscapes become more rugged and dramatic. From here, a steady uphill walk brings you to Deurali (3,230m), a beautiful spot with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks and the river gorge below. The thinning vegetation and cooler air will remind you that you are nearing the high-altitude region.

Today’s trek takes you through stunning valleys and past waterfalls to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m). From there, the trail ascends gradually to Annapurna Base Camp, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking 360° views of Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre. A highlight of the trek, ABC offers one of the most spectacular Himalayan panoramas

After enjoying the sunrise over the Annapurna peaks, you retrace your steps downhill past MBC, Deurali, and Himalayan Hotel. The trail descends through forests and waterfalls, leading you to Bamboo village, where you’ll rest overnight surrounded by serene nature.

Today’s trek descends through lush forests and terraced fields, passing Sinuwa and Chhomrong villages. A steep downhill trail finally leads to Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs where you can relax and soothe your muscles after days of trekking.

From Jhinu Danda, the trail descends along the Modi Khola, passing charming villages and farmland until reaching Syauli Bazaar. Here, you’ll board a vehicle for a scenic drive back to Pokhara, where you can enjoy lakeside relaxation and celebrate the completion of your Annapurna Base Camp trek.

After breakfast, take a scenic drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu through winding highways, rivers, and terraced hillsides. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and enjoy a relaxing evening in the capital.

After breakfast, you will be transferred from your hotel to Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu for your onward flight. This marks the end of your Annapurna Base Camp Trek and your memorable Himalayan adventure.
