    Location and Geography of Annapurna Base Camp Trek:

    The famous Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trekking route is situated within the Annapurna Conservation Area of Nepal, with approximately 7,629 square kilometers. This area is home to many prominent peaks, including the majestic Annapurna I, which stands at a height of 8,091 meters.

    As it lies in the Annapurna Region the ABC trek route can be connected with other popular trekking routes such as the Mardi Himal Trek, Poonhill Trek, and Khopra Ridge Trek. Moreover, ABC Trek can be connected to almost all trekking routes in the Annapurna region except the Annapurna Circuit Trek.  

    In times past, before road networks extended to Jhinu Dada, the starting point for the ABC trek used to be Nayapul. The Annapurna Conservation Area Permit check post is still at Nayapul, so we check in our permit there and then drive up to Jhinu Danda. The accessibility of roads has shifted the starting point to Jhinu Danda, making the trek easier, and reducing the overall duration of the itinerary. Alternatively, you can start the trek from Kande, or through Ghandruk, more details about the Itinerary are given below.

    The geographic landscape of the ABC trek is diverse, as it takes trekkers along the up and down terrains, lush vegetation, verdant forests, and neatly terraced fields to the rugged grandeur of mountainous landscapes.

    A Refreshing 7-Day Itinerary (Custom Itinerary Also Available):

    The refreshing 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trek itinerary offers an easier journey through the picturesque Annapurna region. This itinerary is perfect for beginners and mid-level hikers as the daily walking time is about just 6 - 7 hours, with proper acclimatization stops. Talking about fitness, trekkers should be moderately fit and good enough to walk about 6 - 7 hrs per day.

    With a maximum elevation of 4,130 meters, the ABC Trek offers not only panoramic views but also an incredible sense of achievement. This incredible journey to the base camp of the world's tenth-highest mountain through traditional human settlements, allows you to witness the authentic beauty of this Himalayan nation. 

    People, Culture, and Culinary Delights of the 7 day Annapurna Base Camp Trek:

    The 7 day Annapurna Base Camp trek route leads trekkers through a variety of traditional communities. The lower altitudes are home to the Brahmins and Chhetris, and you can witness the semi-traditional friendly people starting right from the starting points like Jhinu Danda or Nayapul. However, if you took the alternative itinerary then you can experience the Brahmins and Chhetris in Kande, but a rich Gurung community in Ghandruk. These locals balance their traditional way of life and are known for their warmth and hospitality.

    During the ABC trek, you can explore Buddhist monasteries and Hindu temples as well, and this is where you can directly engage with the friendly residents of traditional villages.

    The flavors of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek mirror that of Pokhara, or you can say most households of Pokhara are filled with flavors of the Annapurna Region.
    The staple dish is Dal Bhat, accompanied by vegetables and pickles, with ghee and milk. You can experience authentic Nepali meals, such as Dhinod and Thakali Set, during your 7 day Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

    However, being a popular tourist destination, you can also enjoy Western dishes like  Pizza, Fried rice, Noodles, Soups, and more during the ABC trek. Moreover, Chapatis/rotis, momos, and Tibetan Bread (served with honey or butter) are also popular choices among trekkers.
    As for hot drinks in the cold mountain regions, you can find Tea, Coffee, Herbal tea, and Hot chocolate in the lower regions of the trek.

    The story behind the Name Annapurna:

    It may be hard to believe but the Annapurna base camp trek was a pilgrimage trek a long time ago. This trek leads into the Annapurna Sanctuary, a holy place for the Hindus and Buddhists. Pilgrims used to trek through the sanctuary to offer their thanks and receive their blessing from the Annapurna Mata.  

    The Annapurna Mata is a form of the goddess Parvati, where “Anna” means Food and “Purna” means filled, representing that she is the goddess of food and nourishment. Annapurna can be roughly translated as filled with food or nourished with food.

    A simple fact is that most of the agricultural fields and lands located at lower elevations depend on the streams from the Annapurna range as their source of water. This also shows why Annapurna is known as the provider of food and nourishment.

    Expedition History:

    Annapurna I is known as one of the most deadly peaks in the world, however, it was the first peak over 8,000 m | 26,200 ft to be climbed. The French Annapurna expedition led by Maurice Herzog reached the Annapurna I summit on 3 June 1950.
    The first climb was from the northern side/ northern Annapurna base camp, but we could only imagine how they achieved such a feat without supplemental oxygen.    

    Subsequently, in 1970 the British expedition led by Chris Bonington was the first one to climb the Annapurna I from the south face. Don Whillans is known to be the first one to reach the summit from the south Annapurna base camp, widely known as the Annapurna base camp today. 

    Trekking History in Annapurna Region:

    Colonel Jimmy Roberts, also known as the father of trekking in Nepal, started the first guided trekking tour in Nepal, as an agency. He registered Mountain Travel and started his business of managing trekking tours all over Nepal. 

    In the mid-1950s he led the trekking of Annapurna Sanctuary which lasted a month. Slowly, the trekking in Annapurna region was booming and the Nepal government also began promoting trekking in the early 1960s. Little by little the efforts piled up, and camping changes to Tea house accommodations, basic facilities started being available and the trekkers increased, making Annapurna region one of the most visited trekking destinations in the world.

    You can read more about Colonel Jimmy Roberts and his contribution to the history of trekking in Nepal here.

    Picturesque point in the ABC hike route:

    The most picturesque route during this trek is from the Machhapuchre Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp. The snow-capped peaks surround us by all sides and the term “surrounded by mountains” fits perfectly during this route. The views of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhre along the route take you to the Annapurna Base Camp before you realize it. 

    As this section lies at a high altitude the air will be thin and chilly with low oxygen, however, the absence of oxygen is filled with scenic views. We can even vouch that the mountain views will far surpass your expectations and offer a memory you won’t be able to forget.

    How difficult is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a moderate-difficult trek that has its challenges, but it's doable for even first-time trekkers. It is also suitable for beginners and experienced hikers from different parts of the world trek to enjoy the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Compared to other treks in Nepal, it's on the shorter and easier side, making it reachable for trekkers who are determined and reasonably fit. The trek involves a lot of going up and down, especially at higher altitudes where there's less oxygen, so proper acclimatization points are necessary.

    One thing to note is the trail has a bunch of stone steps, so after a day of tackling these steps, your leg muscles are likely going to feel it. To make things easier, some people hire a porter to carry most of their stuff, leaving them with a lighter backpack for the journey.

    The difficulty of the ABC trek also depends on the season you wish to trek. The peak trekking seasons from mid-February to mid-May and from September to mid-December are quite easy. While the off-season of summer and winter are not recommended for beginners. The rainfall makes the route muddy and difficult to trek, and the heavy snowfall during the winter makes it more difficult to trek.

    As everything has its pros and cons the off seasons offer the isolated trekking route for those willing to take the risks. Moreover, the greenery during the summer and the snow wonderland during the winter make it worth taking the risk of trekking during off seasons.

Best Time For Annapurna Base Camp Trek:

Choosing the best time for the ABC Trek depends on one's preference; however, Spring and Autumn emerge as crowd favorites. 

Spring, from mid-February to mid-May, is perfect for casual and beginner trekkers, with minimum rainfall, clear skies, and vibrant rhododendron forests throughout the journey. The occasional snowfall during this period adds a touch of adventure to an otherwise comfortable trek. 

From September to the first weeks of December, autumn is universally accepted as the prime trekking season, distinguished by dry days, comforting warmth during the day, and chilly weather at night. Local Harvest festivals and cultural festivities are added attractions while trekking this season.

On the other hand, Summer, from June to August, brings frequent rainfall and muddy trails filled with leeches. So, the trek becomes slightly more challenging - a less favorable circumstance for beginners. However, the trails are isolated, which can appeal to experienced hikers. Also, the green scenery, as far as an eye can see, always brings out the nature admirers on the trek.  

The extreme winter season from mid-December to mid-February brings snowfall to the trails. While trekking during this season is rarely recommended due to heavy snowfall and extreme cold, many trekkers choose to trek the Annapurna Base Camp as it is isolated. 
If you choose the winter season in search of an isolated and less crowded trail, we suggest you be prepared with a very experienced guide, your insurance for rescue in any unforeseen circumstances, and a sleeping bag that warms you up even at -20°C.

Regardless of the season, the ABC Trek remains an unforgettable journey. It uniquely offers natural splendor with cultural richness, affordability, and accessibility with a compelling trekking experience. 


Live like a local during Annapurna Base Camp Trek:

While many tourists seek to experience the local life in the Himalayan region of Nepal, they get limited experience with accommodation in hotels and lodges. While some know they can also experience the local homestay, many don’t think they can. 

Most tourists are hesitant to ask even though they want to experience homestay, due to the establishment of Hotels and Lodges for accommodation. However, during this ABC trekking, we can manage the overnight stay at a homestay, living like a local, sharing their meal, and much more. Keep in mind that this is only possible in lower regions like Ghandruk, Chhomrong, Sinuwa, etc as there are no homestays at higher altitudes.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Cost:

Generalizing the demands of the clients, we offer three different packages and encourage you to choose the cost of ABC Trekking yourself. The services we offer are:

Half Board Service(per person 55$ a day):
If you wish to be in control of your lunch and dinner during your trek, we can offer you the Half Board Service, which includes Breakfast and Tea House accommodation at only 55$ per person a day. You will be free from the headaches of ACAP permits, TIMS, and any form of Tourist Service Charge as mentioned in the "What's Included Section?". The transportation from Pokhara to the start of the trek Jhinu Danda and after the walk from Siwai to Pokhara. An English-speaking, experienced and licensed guide, including all their expenses and insurance.   

Guide and Porter Service (30$ a day for a guide and 25$ a day for a porter): 
If you are ready to arrange everything on the trek yourself, as it comes with minimal enjoyment, we can offer you just a Guide and a Porter Service. The standard charge for a guide is 30$ per day, and for a porter is 25$ per day, but depending upon your specific request, the price may vary. 

Additionally, you can add the TIMS and ACAP permits and the Land Transportation before and after the trek in this package.

Several options are available for the food so, the guest can savor the cuisine according to their taste.

3: Do I need any permits for this trek?
Yes, you must have an ACAP ( Annapurna Conservation Area Permit ) permit which costs US$ 30 per person. The officials will check your permit and other necessary documents at the entry point.  Similarly, this permit lasts until you leave Annapurna Area.

4: How hard is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
One of the best treks in the Annapurna Region, the Annapurna Base Camp trek is a moderate trek with fewer challenges. This moderate trek takes you to the base camp of the world’s 10th-highest peak, Mt. Annapurna (8091m/26,545ft). So, this moderate trek can easily be completed with good health and determination, even beginners can complete this trek safely.

5: Can we combine this trek with other routes?
Yes, we can combine this trek with other equally appealing and renowned treks. Such as Ghandruk Village Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, Khopra Ridge Trek, and Poon Hill Sunrise Trek.

6: How long is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
Depending on the level of your fitness and experience in high Altitude Trekking, the ABC trek takes a week (7 days) if you are a complete beginner. However, if you are an experienced hiker and can trek 7-8 hours every day then we have a short itinerary of only 5 days for Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

7: Is the Annapurna base camp trek safe?
Yes, Annapurna Base Camp Trek is safe almost all the way up to base camp. While most of the path is safe most of the trekkers fear Deurali as it is an avalanche zone and a bit risky. However, the chances of an avalanche itself are low and we cross Deurali early morning with experienced guides so, the chances of being caught are almost impossible. Hence, you can trek the Annapurna Base Camp easily.

8: How high is the Annapurna base camp trek?
The maximum height of Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the base camp itself at a height of 4,131m/ 13,553 feet.

Annapurna Base Camp trek can be started from Pokhara directly if you are at Pokhara. However, we can also arrange this trek for you including the transportation from Kathmandu.
The road condition from Kathmandu to Pokhara is dreadful and it takes hours, so we suggest you hop on an airplane for Pokhara. After you reach Pokhara we can start the trek to Annapurna Base Camp the next day.

11: How to train for the Annapurna base camp trek?
While the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is moderate in difficulty,  you need to walk 5-6 hours a day during this trek with your backpack. Although hiring a porter lightens your backpack you will still need to carry your light backpack. So you can start mild walking/jogging every day for 3 weeks before the trek. Include some steep climbs during your jogs, or incline to a certain height if you run on a treadmill.

Amazing ABC Trek, responsible tour guide

We went to Pokhara in November 2019 for a visit and decided to book a trip to ABC with North Nepal Travels & Treks. Our guide was Neeraj, who was very thoughtful and took care of all our needs. He was knowledgeable of the surrounding mountains and Nepali traditions. The porter was also very helpful and nice. Both of them were very friendly so that 6 days of trekking with them were very enjoyable. Thank you so much for the memorable trip.

Highly recommend to all friends!

Kudos to North Nepal Tours

I had the most amazing experience with my siblings, recently completing the ABC trek. The trek was organized by Mohan Raj Bhandari if North Nepal Tours. We had a wonderful team of sherpas and a guide who ensured that we were comfortable and enjoyed our trek. Mohan personally co-ordinated and made us feel at home both during the Trek and our stay at Pokhara. Mohan has been very patient and professional in handling and responding to all our queries before and during the trek. Grateful for making our experience a memorable one.

Best Trek company on Nepal!

I am 59 and have some arthritis, I have always wanted to do a trek in the Himalayas. I did a lot of research and Niraj Adhikari from North Nepal Travel & Trek put together a trek to Annapurna Base Camp that covered all my requirements, I completed this trek on 22 September 2023. Niraj made sure that everything I wanted to do was included but also made sure that I would be able to achieve my goals and was not overstretched. Niraj looked after all my requirements from being picked up at Kathmandu and Pokhara airports, hotel accommodation before and after the trek (at the same prices if I had done it myself), and of course the trek, the experience was personal, and he was in touch throughout to make sure I was ok. My guide was the most amazing person, Divas Gurung. He was experienced and aware of my restrictions, we did a 7-day trek very easily, and at my pace, I was never rushed, and I always felt safe. It was the most amazing experience; Divas gave me a brilliant commentary of the area and the local people that made my trek very special. The tea houses and the food were better that expected. I would not go past North Nepal Travel & Trek, they made sure my trek was exceptional and Divas is the best guide you could hope for! He also takes great photos and tells interesting local stories. If you want to do a trek that is safe and well organised with a brilliant guide, contact Niraj at North Nepal Travel & Trek. I am already planning my next trek with Niraj and Divas.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Sep 2023 • Couples

We recently did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with North Nepal Travels & Treks. Their services were really good before, during and after the trekking. They sent us all the information needed and answered the doubts we had. In the end, the team asked us what we enjoyed and what we didn’t.

The trek lasted 7 days with accommodation and meals included. Our guide, Buddhiman, took care of us and told us many recommendations. For instance, what to eat or not to eat in the mountains and which places to see. He also knew what to do in certain moments thanks to his great experience. As well, he was flexible on where to sleep according to our rhythm and with what we needed.

Overall, it was a nice experience and we had amazing views of the Annapurna region.

Exceptional Annapurna Base Camp Trek

My experience with North Nepal Travel was exceptional. Their services were not only reasonably priced but also of outstanding quality. Niranjan, our guide, was particularly remarkable. His deep knowledge of the trek routes instilled confidence in us throughout our journey. His patience in addressing our queries was commendable.

During our short hike through the Australian Base Camp, Niranjan was not just a guide but a storyteller, enlightening us about the local people, culture, and villages. His encouragement was a constant source of motivation. His advice and recommendations were invaluable, influencing us to modify our itinerary to make the most of our time in Pokhara.

I wholeheartedly recommend North Nepal Travel for anyone looking to explore the Pokhara region. Their trustworthiness, authenticity, and exceptional service quality set them apart. Niranjan's guidance has inspired us to undertake more challenging treks, and we eagerly anticipate returning to explore more of Pokhara's stunning landscapes.

A heartfelt thanks to Niranjan for his invaluable assistance and for making our trip unforgettable.
