Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal

Annapurna Base Camp Trek, or Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, has a trekking trail of 115 km and is best for solo and group trekkers. It is loaded with all the terrain features you can imagine higher in your mind. It showcases a 360-degree view of mountains from the base camp and makes you wonder; what you see is unquestionable. The trekking trail you follow is exhausting and exciting and takes you to the top of the hill, where there is a village. Although, on the way, you will see the mules, do not be afraid; your guide will tell you how to avoid them. The rocky ridges you visit, the valley where you walk in, and the stream you cross have their beauties. Experience the inexperienced by walking on the slope of the snow-covered hill that has a narrow trekking trail.

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking in March, April, May, and December

After saying goodbye to February, these three months are suitable for trekking because the days are clear and beautiful. These are also the months of rhododendron; on the other hand, December is good too because the trekking trail is empty, and you can see the unobstructed view of mountains, but the best in October. Another Trek you can do in the Annapurna Region is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, which lasts 15 days.

Annapurna Base Camp Itinerary

Day 01 Arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport (standard accommodation)

If you stay in a 5-star hotel, it will be outside Thamel.

Day 02 Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara (breakfast provided, standard accommodation)

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is where you have to spend your night; from there, you head to Pokhara, the city of lakes. As you head to Pokhara, you are on the Pirthivi Highway and by the Trishuli River, a famous river for rafting in NepaPrithviivi Narayan Shah was a King who played a significant role in the unification of Nepal. At Pokhara, you spend a night in the hotel by the lake, seeing a magnificent view of Fishtail Mountain.

Day 03 Drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, then trek to Jhinu Danda (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

It will take you almost one hour to reach Nayapul in a car or jeep; on the way, you will come across small villages which are small and beautiful. Nayapul is one of the starting points of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. As you trek, the famous town you come across is Birethani, while the highlights include the waterfall, suspension bridge, and hot spring. Take a dip this spring to benefit from the point of view of health.

Day 04 From Jhinu Danda to Bamboo (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

The trekking trail goes uphill to take you to villages like Chomrong and Sinuwa. It consists of stone steps, and you can see the same in Chomrong, the largest town that you come by. Later, these steps go downhill to take you to the oak, bamboo, and rhododendron forest, from where you head to Bamboo.

Day 05 From Bamboo to Machhapuchhere base camp (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

As you walk uphill, you will become tired. This is so because you are heading to MBC. However, the view you see from the trail of Fishtail, Hinchuli, Gangapurna, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and Annapurna II will capture your mind. You will also cross the Modi Khola, a river, and walk in the glacial valley.

Day 06 From MBC to Annapurna base camp (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Unlike other days, you start your trek early in the morning to see the mind-blowing view of sunrise on the Annapurna Ranges. This can be best had from the Annapurna Base Camp.

Day 08 From Bamboo to Jhinu Danda (4 meals provided, standard accommodation)

Today, the trekking trail goes downhill and takes you to Khuldi Ghar, Sinuwa, the Chomrong Khola, and Chomrong. However, before reaching Jhinu Danda, the trekking trail becomes too steep.
