Annapurna Base Camp Trek -10 days

Welcome to Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Legends and mysticism abound throughout this old city. Kathmandu is also known as "the city of temples." You can arrive anytime, whether by road or by air. Our office representative will warmly receive you. If you arrive by air, our personnel will wait for you outside the airport terminal holding a sign with your name. You will then be escorted to your hotel via a private vehicle.

As you won't have anything scheduled for the day, you can either rest and recharge yourself before hitting the trail. You may also go shopping in Thamel if you need to shop for trekking gear in the evening. Staying in a hotel for the night. 

Kathmandu valley has world heritage Durbar Squares of Hanuman Dhoka, Swayambhunath, Bauddhanath stupa, and Pashupati temple. Our city guide will start guiding in the morning and will finish late afternoon. Evening you should prepare the bag pack for your trekking. The list will provide you with what you need on the trek. Check properly what you have or what you need before going to dinner and consult with your team.    

We will take the flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The flight duration is approximately 35-40 minutes. We will meet the rest of the crew members in Pokhara. After a brief stop at Pokhara, we will ride on a jeep to Hile. Earlier people used to start the trek from either Nayapul or Birethanti. However, the road network has expanded and the new trailhead is from Hile or Ulleri. Some trekkers still prefer to start the trek from Nayapul. We don’t recommend it as the road is dusty and unsuitable for trekking. Overnight at Teahouse

After breakfast, we will start trekking. Our trekking guide will conduct a brief PT Drill before starting the trek. Today’s trekking trail is completely uphill walking. Therefore, you need to stretch your body. From Ulleri to Ghorepani, the trail is through lush green forests and is uphill. We will enjoy the serenity inside the jungle and rejoice in the chirping sound of birds.

Explore the Ghorepani Village in the evening or simply rest at the teahouse. The view of the village's mountains, cascading hills and rhododendron forests is breathtaking. The village has many teahouses/lodges and multiethnic people mainly Gurung. Overnight at Teahouse.

 Get ready for the most majestic sunrise experience of your life. Sunrise from the top of Poon Hill is spectacular. Early in the morning around 4.30 am, we will start our hike to the top of Poon Hill. The anticipation of the sun coming out of the casement of mountains is simply awesome. Get the vista of mountains like Dhaulagiri, Annapurna range, Machhapuchhre etc. from the top.

We will trek down to the teahouse and eat breakfast. After breakfast, we head to a small village called Tadapani. Today’s trail includes equal lengths of uphill and downhill trails. Overnight at Teahouse.

We will continue our journey to the Annapurna Base Camp after breakfast. Today’s destination is Chhomrong which is the famous village on the ABC Trek trail. We will have to walk downhill to Kimron Khola and climb again to Chhomrong. The highlight of today’s trekking is the sight of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. Overnight at Teahouse.

Today is a long walking day. We will start early after breakfast and descend to Lower Sinuwa. The lunch will be at Upper Sinuwa or in Bamboo village. The trail from Upper Sinuwa to bamboo is in Nepalese flat but from Bamboo to Dovan is uphill walking. You will get the best view of Mt. Fishtail from Dovan. Overnight at Teahouse.

Finally, we are two days trekking away from Annapurna Base Camp. We will start our trekking after breakfast and walk the uphill trail to Himalayan and Deurali villages. After a lunch break at Deurali, we head to Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The trail is through a narrow valley. It is very captivating in terms of scenery. Enjoy the mystical Himalayan experience while spending overnight at Machhapuchhre Base Camp. 

We will start the trek very early in the morning. Once we reach the Annapurna Base Camp, we will stroll around and capture the memories. We will spend about an hour in the base camp and head back to Deurali. Some prefer to stay overnight at the base camp. However, this itinerary allows you to avoid altitude sickness. You will stay overnight on this day in Deurali which is at a low altitude. Overnight at the teahouse.

We will descend to Jhinu Danda from Deurali. Today’s highlight is the natural hot water springs at Jhinu. All the fatigue accumulated during the trek will get relieved once you take a dip into the natural hot water springs. This stimulates you and also helps you get rid of skin problems too.
