Annapurna Base Camp Trek Details

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is  one of the popular trekking in Nepal. Annapurna I (8091m) stands in the western Himalayan belt of Nepal with towering neighbors. The massifs surrounding these towering mountains include some of the most alluring rocky peaks. Annapurna II: 7,937 meters (26,040 feet), Annapurna III: 7,555 meters (24,786 feet), Annapurna IV: 7,525 meters (24,688 feet), Gangapurna: Approximately 7,455 meters (24,459 feet), Annapurna South: 7,219 meters (23,684 feet), Hiunchuli: 6,441 meters (21,132 feet) and Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain): 6,993 meters stands tall beside the tenth highest mountain in the world. These mountain peaks create a bowled-shaped valley in between them. The trek to this valley is what we call ABC Trek or Annapurna Sanctuary Trek.

The Annapurna Base Camp trek is initiated in the bustling Pokhara city. It is one of the few treks that provides a wholesome experience. Ranging from rural villages, picturesque mountain vistas, hot springs, raging Himalayan rivers, terraced farms, luxuriant green forests, and remote trekking experience, Annapurna Base Camp Trek summons it all. From Pokhara, a 2 hours drive westward takes us to Syauli Bazar. Syauli Bazar is a crossroad point for the Poon Hill Trek and ABC Trek. This place resides on the banks of Modi Khola river which originates from the Annapurna mountains.

As the Annapurna Base Camp trek map suggests, the starting point of the trek is at Syauli Bazar. It resides at a distance that measures 2 hours drive from Pokhara. We begin our trek with an ascent towards Ghandruk village, a prominent Gurung settlement. Our hike first takes the dirt road till you reach the stone steps carved to reach Ghandruk village. The fascinating aroma provided by Ghandruk is unparalleled in other spaces. From here on we take the mountainous foot trail headed to the gigantic massifs located towards the north. You will be welcomed by the alluring glimpse of Annapurna South and Mt.Fishtail as you approach Chomorong. Chomrong is another dense settlement located atop a colossal hill overlooking the Annapurna mountains. Hereon after, the trail follows through small hamlets located along the rocky cliffs. Sinuwa, Bamboo, Dovan, Himalaya, Deurali, MBC to reach Annapurna Base Camp.

These villages stretched across the trail are built in a typical rural setup of Nepal. Each of these stops consists of more than 4 houses converted into tea houses. Built with local resources like mud, stone, and clay and roofed with blue tin, these villages provide a quaint and serene atmosphere during the trek. Machhapuchhre Base Camp is a prominent stopover on your trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Situated at an altitude of 3700 meters, it sits right at the base of Mt.Fishtail, or Machhapuchhre as the locals call it. You will have a northern-face view of this mountain from MBC. It sits in a cliffside flat overlooking the villages below. Right after MBC is Annapurna Base Camp. As you move northbound from MBC a series of mountain vista unveils before your eyes. Annapurna Base Camp sits with gigantic mountains surrounding it. The trail becomes semi-arid with semi-alpine landscape features. You will first encounter the southern face of Annapurna I with its neighbors standing beside it. This point in your trek is nothing less than a heavenly body.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek Nepal is nothing short of a surreal experience; it encompasses both fulfillment and adventure. As you ascend further up the mountain trail, you will encounter lower-altitude villages inhabited by Brahmins and Chettris before reaching higher elevations which are home to Gurungs. Along your journey, make sure to stop at tea houses that offer an array of delicious cuisines with specialties hailing from Tibetan and Nepalese traditions. It is crucially important that visitors strictly adhere to all regulations set forth by the conservation area when visiting Annapurna Base Camp. Consumption or possession of meat products within these sacred grounds is strictly prohibited. Also, the Annapurna Base Camp trek cost can vary depending on your requirements and preferences of Annapurna Base Camp Trek Itinerary.

Points of Attractions in Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna region embodies a series of natural diversity. Firstly, the towering mountains that sit tall in the northern territory. Followed by them are the dense forests that include herbal plants and rich floral diversity including Rhododendron, Birch, Fir, Bamboo, and Juniper. Also, the rivers originating from the glacial moraine of the Annapurna massifs cut their way through narrow alleyways between the high hills. We have highlighted a few not to miss attractions during your trek to Annapurna Base Camp.

Natural Hot Spring:

A natural hot spring lies on your way to Annapurna base camp. It is located in the small hamlet called Jhinu, the last stop of your trek. Jhinu lies at an approximate distance of 14 kilometers from Nayapul.  This village resides right next to the Modi River which originates from the Annapurna mountains. At the entrance of the village right next to the river is a small pond where natural hot water emerges from below. This hot spring is believed to cure many health-related issues. Also, it serves as a relaxation point for trekkers who return from their multiple days of strenuous trek.

Annapurna Conservation Area Project:

Annapurna Conservation Area Project is a protective initiative by the government of Nepal. The biodiversity of the Annapurna region located in the Kaski, Manang, Mustang, Myagdi, and Parbat districts is protected under this project. This project was initiated in 1986 and has since been protecting the natural enriches of the area. The dense forests, flat lands of Mustang and Manang, High mountains, Semi-arid terrain, Raging white rivers, enriched fauna, and distinct culture of the locals are preserved by ACAP. You will need an ACAP permit for the trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Permits usually range from $30 for foreigners and $10 for SAARC nationals.

Annapurna Massifs:

Annapurna Mountains which rise as high as 8091 meters are a series of high mountains located in western Nepal. The trek to ABC pierces through the base of these high mountains. From far away, these mountains seem astonishing. The peaks rise high and are shimmering with snow for most of the year. On your traverse to Annapurna Base camp, you will traverse to the middle of these gigantic mountains. The prominent peaks as seen during ABC trek are Annapurna I (8,091 meters / 26,545 feet), Annapurna South (7,219 meters / 23,684 feet), Hiunchuli (6,441 meters / 21,132 feet), Machapuchare (6,993 meters / 22,943 feet), Gangapurna (7,455 meters / 24,457 feet)and Baraha Shikhar, Glacier Dom etc.

The people from Gurung communities have a rich cultural heritage, distinctive traditions, and a long history deeply intertwined with the Himalayan landscape they call home. These groups of people are scattered all along the trail. The majority of Gurung people follow Tibetan Buddhism and have distinct cultural practices.

Excellent trip in Nepal

We had our trip to Annapurna base camp with Himalaya Trip in november and there were 9 hiking days. We really enjoyed the trip and organisation by the guide Surpa. Everything was thoroughly thought out, i.e accommodation, food, hiking distances etc. Surpa took a really great care of us and ensured us the safety of the trip and all the comforts. Supra is a very friendly, nice and helpful guide. We will definitely recommend Himalaya Trip and Surpa to our friends.

Excellent communication, organisation and service for 7 day ABC Trek

Harka organised an amazing trip with a porter and guide for us to trek to and from Annapurna Base Camp over 7 days in September. The communication pre and post trip was excellent and our guide and porter during the trek provided an exceptional service. Couldn’t recommend this company highly enough.

Amazing Annapurna Base Camp Trek (7 days)

Our ABC trek was fantastic, with beautiful scenery! We had a great time with our very friendly guide Ramesh, who organized everything (food, drinks, teahouse rooms) very well, and made us feel safe all the way. We would definitely recommend to book with Himalaya Trip.

Harka responds quickly to every query, and the guide ( om gurung) and porters ( samsher and buddi man gurung) were so friendly and accommodating. We did the 7 day Annapurna base camp trek and we had a fantastic time. Highly recommended.

ABC Made Memorable by Harka Gurung and Himalaya Trip !

Our little group of three were introduced to Himalaya Trip and its Founder, Harka Gurung, from another Malaysian who had trekked in Nepal in 2018.

For our trek to ABC, I found Harka and his guide, Om and his two porters, Buddhi Man and Samsher, all Gurungs from their home state, to be exceptionally professional, courteous, friendly and accommodating at all times.

We quickly warmed to the Gurungs' easygoing nature and friendly, no-nonsense dispositions, made all the more memorable by Samsher and Buddhi Man's mountain songs and spontaneous dancing whilst on the trail!

I cannot therefore recommend Harka, Om, Samsher and Buddhi Man more highly for your next trip to this beautiful land as Nepal Hidden Treks will definitely be my first port of call when I next visit, hopefully with my children.

The defining feature of Harka and his men are that this is a family business for the Gurung tribe which places employment, professional standards and career opportunities on equal if not higher measure than commercial profit, which ultimately benefits the lucky client.

Highly recommended, friendly family-run company.

We booked a 7 day Annapurna Base Camp trek with Himalaya Trip in Sep. Communication when booking was excellent and they were very accommodating to fit in with our dates and pick up/drop off locations. The manager, Harka, was very quick to respond and provided good information about what to take. On arrival, Harka met us at our hotel in Kathmandu and explained the full plan for the trip giving us all our tickets and trekking passes. He also met us in the morning to ensure we got on the correct bus to Pokhara where we would meet our guide.

The guide and porter were very good: both were very friendly and couldn’t do enough to make sure we were comfortable and safe at all times. We were particularly impressed when we asked to change the plan for the last day of the trek and he gave us a few options and rebooked our accommodation and transport plan to fit. Even though the porter spoke little English he was friendly and helpful throughout.

Himalaya Trip clearly a local, family-run business and I would highly recommend booking directly with them as it was better value for money than going through an agent in the UK and also supports their local community. We will certainly use them again for future trekking adventures in Nepal.

A wonderful 8 day trek, led by our amazing guide Nirmal and porter Anil.

Good, well organised and excellent value trip

I am more than happy to recommend Harka - he was very helpful and organised a good and professional trek (I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with two friends). Our guide Shyam spoke good English and our two porters were a huge asset, carrying stuff we couldn't have done ourselves. All for a very reasonable price.

ABC Trek Travel Info

Duration of Annapurna Base Camp trek

The period taken for completing this traverse is dependent on the individual. The average duration of Annapurna Base Camp Trek is 5 -9 days with an easygoing itinerary. Proper rest is paramount for high-altitude trekking. The Himalayan trip has a standard itinerary covering 7 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek which requires you to walk for at least 6-7 hours each day. This itinerary is an easygoing schedule trekking with lots of stopovers in between. We start our trek after breakfast and stop in between for lunch and tea breaks. If you want to lengthen this trek, you can combine the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek with this trek. It adds 2 more trekking days to this trek.


Communication during the Annapurna Base Camp trek

Cellular networks are reachable in most parts of this trek except MBC and ABC. While there might be some disturbances while you are trekking, telephone networks are available in most parts. Data services also work smoothly in the area. Wi-Fi services are available in most tea houses but cost extra to use ($1-$2 per day).


The Difficulty of Annapurna Base Camp trek

Considering the terrain, landscape, accessibility, and modern sophistication, the Annapurna base Camp trek is moderately challenging. This trek takes on the highlands located next to the Annapurna range mountains. The trail is properly paved and marked with signage all over. Modern tea houses provide basic accommodation and food facilities.

That being said, the difficulty of Annapurna Base Camp Trek is strenuous once you cross Deurali. The elevation gain crosses the mark of 4000 meters above Deurali. You are likely to have Acute Mountain sickness(AMS) during this stretch. Also, right after you cross Deurali, there are multiple landslide areas where rocks fall from above. Apart from this, there are a limited number of teahouses after this stretch which can make accommodation an issue. Especially during the peak seasons of Spring and Autumn, there are hordes of tourists headed for the base camp. It is advised to book your rooms in advance from a reliable trekking company.


Best time for Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Weather patterns in Nepalese territory remain mild for most of the year. They are broadly classified into 4 different weather patterns: Spring, Autumn, Winter, and Summer. Spring Season begins in March and lasts till the end of May. Autumn months range from September until November. Similarly, Winter begins right after Autumn from December until February. Summer months begin in June and last till August

Among these seasons, Spring and Autumn are considered the best time for the Annapurna Base Camp trek. The weather window during these months is feasible and the temperature ranges to a moderate range. Summer months receive heavy rain showers owing to the Monsoon pattern and winter is characterized by snowfall in the higher elevation zones. ABC Trek can be done during the summer and winter time too. However, professional guidance and weather forecasts are recommended for the said time.


Meals during the trek to Annapurna Base Camp Trek

During your trekking adventure, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a diverse range of culinary delights. These establishments offer both Nepalese and Continental dishes, providing a taste of local flavors. A highly popular choice among Nepalese locals is Dal Bhaat, a hearty meal consisting of rice, lentil soup, vegetable curry, and pickles. Not only is this dish nutritious but it also leaves you feeling satisfied. Dal Bhaat is typically served for lunch and dinner; however, if you prefer something different, teahouses also offer options such as pasta, noodles, pies, or other delectable treats.

Breakfasts at tea houses provide an array of choices to start your day off right. You can indulge in Gurung bread or opt for soup, porridge, pancakes, or any other breakfast treat that catches your fancy. If you have any specific dietary requirements or preferences for meals during your trekking journey, be sure to inform your guide ahead of time so that they can make necessary arrangements with the teahouse kitchens.


Lodges and Teahouses in Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The traverse to Annapurna Base Camp is filled with small Gurung villages. These people have a teahouse or mountain lodges in their homes. It is more like a homestay rather than a hotel. Teahouses are available at all stops during your trekking journey. A teahouse is a wooden house built as a usual practice in mountain areas. These tea houses provide from 2 people rooms to 6 people group rooms during your trek. The accommodation facilities are very basic with rooms having beds, mattresses, quilts, and pillows. Attached bathrooms are subject to availability and are uncommon. Wi-Fi and Hot showers are available but cost extra. Power sockets are available only in the dining area as you trek higher than Chommrong. A log fire heating system is provided for cold nights. The accommodation during the trek is pretty much similar but what differs from your Annapurna Base Camp trek cost is the hotels you choose in Pokhara.


Preparation and Fitness for Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Compared to other long treks in Nepal such as the Annapurna Circuit Trek and Everest Base Camp Trek, the Annapurna Base Camp trek stands out for its short duration and moderate difficulty. However, it is still important to have a certain level of fitness and preparation. After reaching Syauli Bazar, you can expect to hike for an average of 6-7 hours each day. Additionally, there will be an elevation gain of about 4-500 meters per day. To comfortably complete this trek, it is beneficial to engage in cardio exercises and endurance training. Cardio exercises help build stamina for long hours of walking while endurance training strengthens your muscles.

The Annapurna Base Camp trek difficulty has been set as moderate. It can typically be completed within a week starting from Pokhara. The final stretch from Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp presents the most challenging part of the journey. This section involves navigating steep landslide sections and mountain foot trails. As you acclimate to higher elevations during the trek, your comfort level will increase while walking becomes easier. We strongly recommend starting your exercise regimen at least one month before your travel dates to adequately prepare for this adventure.


Trekking Permit for Annapurna Base Camp Trek

To undertake the Annapurna Base Camp trek, trekkers need to obtain two permits: the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) Card. These permits can be obtained in Kathmandu or Pokhara or at the entry checkpoint in Birethanti. It is essential to adhere to the regulations set by the authorities to protect the environment and respect local communities.
