Overview

Located at the foot of the 10th highest mountain in the world, Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek converges into an adventure into the heart of the Himalayas. Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is an amalgamation of adventure, spiritual and cultural journey into the mid-western region of Nepal. An easy access to the region, comparatively easier trail and the availability of comfortable tea-houses makes Annapurna Base Camp one of the most popular trek destinations in Nepal. Also, the Himalayan panorama and the cultural exhibition make Annapurna base Camp Trek an illustrious blend of these aspects.

The 11-days journey to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek initiates at Kathmandu. You’ll commute to the transit city of Pokhara before driving towards Siwai, a small Gurung village inside Annapurna region. It helps to cut the trek short and give you more time to explore the places. The trek slowly advances through culturally rich villages of the Gurung inhabitants of the region. The Gurung tribe is a part of indigenous Hill-tribes of Nepal. Chhomrong, Bamboo, and Deurali are the villages en route to ABC. From Deurali, you’ll make your way to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) and spend overnight amidst the larger-than-life mountains. The base camp serves as the vantage point for watching Annapurna massif, Gangapurna (7454m), Machhapuchhre (6997m), Nilgiri (7061m) and Hiunchuli Mountains. Among these peaks, Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m) is the most revered mountain by the locals. The virgin summit hasn’t yet been climbed by anyone, hence making it one of the most elusive peaks in Nepal. From here, it’s a continuous descent until you reach Siwai via Bamboo and Jhinu Danda. You’ll catch your commute back to Pokhara from Siwai and spend the evening celebrating the trek beside the Phewa Lake.The trip concludes at Kathmandu upon your arrival from Pokhara. The best seasons for trekking in the Annapurna region are spring (Mar-Jun) and autumn (Sep-Nov).
