Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

One of our team members will be waiting for you at the arrival gate of Tribhuvan International Airport. After a warm welcome, we’ll drive you to your hotel in a private tourist vehicle. You can take some time to rest after your flight. Later, there will be a short pre-trip meeting where you’ll meet your guide and get a quick briefing about the trek. If you have any last-minute questions or want to buy anything before heading to the mountains, this is a good time.

We’ll start the day early and take a scenic drive to Pokhara, Nepal’s beautiful lake city. The ride takes around 7 to 9 hours, depending on traffic. You’ll pass through hills, small towns, and river valleys. Once we reach Pokhara, we’ll check into the hotel near Lakeside. You can enjoy a peaceful evening stroll around the lake or just relax at one of the cozy cafés nearby

After breakfast, we’ll drive for about an hour to Birethanti, where our trek officially begins. We’ll start walking through lush forests, terraced fields, and small villages. The trail climbs steadily to Tikhedhunga, and then it’s a bit of a push with a long stone staircase up to Ulleri. Don’t worry, we’ll take our time. We’ll reach Ulleri in the late afternoon and stay overnight at a local guesthouse

Today’s walk is mostly uphill through rhododendron forests and traditional villages. The mountain views start getting better as we gain altitude. Ghorepani is a beautiful village surrounded by forest and hills. If the weather is clear, you’ll already catch a glimpse of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. We’ll spend the night here at a guesthouse.

We’ll wake up early and hike up to Poon Hill before sunrise. It’s a short but steep climb, but the view at the top is totally worth it. You’ll see the sun rising over Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, and other Himalayan giants. After spending some time at the viewpoint, we’ll return to Ghorepani for breakfast. Then we’ll continue our trek through forests and ridges to Tadapani. It’s a long but rewarding day.

We’ll start our day by descending through dense forest down to the Kimrong River and then climb back up to Chhomrong, a big Gurung village. After lunch here, we’ll walk down to the river again and then climb up to Sinuwa. It’s a mix of ups and downs today, but the trail is scenic with frequent views of the mountains.

The trail from Sinuwa continues through bamboo and rhododendron forests. It’s cool and peaceful in here. We’ll stop for lunch at Himalaya or Dovan, then continue gradually uphill to Deurali. This area is quieter and has a strong Himalayan feel. You’ll feel the altitude slowly, so we’ll take it easy and stay hydrated.

Big day today. We’ll walk through the valley surrounded by steep cliffs and glaciers. First, we’ll reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp, where you can rest for a bit. Then we continue walking slowly to Annapurna Base Camp. Once you arrive, you’ll be standing in a natural amphitheater surrounded by some of the highest peaks in the world. Enjoy the sunset and soak in the moment. Overnight stay at a guesthouse here.

After watching sunrise from Base Camp, we’ll start walking back the same way. It’s mostly downhill today, and we’ll retrace our steps back through Deurali and Dovan to reach Bamboo. The descent feels easier on the lungs but can be tough on the knees, so trekking poles will be helpful. Overnight at a guesthouse in Bamboo.

We’ll continue descending toward Jhinu Danda today. Once we arrive and check in at the guesthouse, you can take a short walk down to the natural hot springs by the river. A good soak in the hot water will help relax your muscles after several days of trekking. Overnight stay at a guesthouse.

Today is our last day of walking. We’ll trek down to Syauli Bazaar via terraced hills and small villages. From here, we’ll drive back to Pokhara and return to our hotel near Lakeside. You’ll have the rest of the day to relax, shop, or celebrate the end of the trek.

2 to 3 hrs walk, 2 to 4 hrs drive

We’ll take a tourist bus back to Kathmandu today. It’s a long but scenic drive. Once we arrive, we’ll check into the hotel. You can spend your evening exploring Thamel, buying souvenirs, or just resting.

Our team will drop you at the airport as per your flight schedule. We hope you had an unforgettable time in Nepal and with All Nepal Treks. We’ll be happy to see you again someday.
