Overview

“Have you ever dreamed of standing amongst the divine beauty of Nepal’s western Himalayas? On this accessible nine-day hiking itinerary, you’ll climb from the lakeside city of Pokhara to the staggering heights of the Annapurna Sanctuary, where you’ll be rewarded with exceptional panoramas of the world’s loveliest mountains.”

ABC Trek - 8 Days Highlights 

  • Explore what’s arguably the most beautiful region in Nepal: the Annapurna mountains.
  • Visit Gurung and Magar's villages tucked away in the splendor of the western Himalayas.
  • Reach Annapurna Base Camp at an elevation of 4,130 meters elevation
  • Earn marvelous panoramic views of Machapuchare, Nilgiri, Hiunchuli, and the Annapurnas themselves

Welcome to the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal

The western Himalayan Mountains of Nepal have long been associated with world-class trekking opportunities. The Mardi Himal Trek, Annapurna Circuit, and Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek all begin from the lakeside city of Pokhara, which serves as the gateway to the Annapurnas.

But it’s the Annapurna Base Camp Trek that best captures the imagination of visitors from all over the world. While many travelers take up to two weeks to complete this unforgettable hike, we’ve developed an alternative, shorter itinerary—and for travelers who don’t have several weeks to devote to their trek in Nepal, our nine-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek is perhaps the best option in the entirety of the Himalayas.

Because the trek reaches a maximum elevation of just over 4,000 meters, it’s also an accessible itinerary for hikers who aren’t quite ready for the high mountain passes of the Everest Base Camp Trek or Langtang Valley Trek. Read on to discover what you can expect on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

What can you expect on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek for 8 Days?

An expedition into the western Himalayas of Nepal rewards travelers with the opportunity to explore a remarkable diversity of ecosystems: subtropical rhododendron forests, alpine river valleys, and sheer mountain heights.

Our destination is the Annapurna Sanctuary, a sacred amphitheater of Himalayan peaks where you’ll come face-to-face with the world’s tenth-highest mountain. Annapurna I rises to a staggering 8,091 meters in elevation, and there’s no experience like standing in the mountain’s shadow as dawn breaks across the sky.

You’ll also enjoy first-rate views of Annapurna II and III, Machapuchare, Annapurna South, and even more of the highest mountains in the western Himalayas.

But the Annapurna Base Camp Trek has more to offer than splendid scenery; traveling through this part of Nepal will also introduce you to the culture and traditions of the people who live here. We’ll visit remote mountain villages, relax in isolated hot springs, and enjoy the scenic, pastoral beauty of hillside terraces where rice and millet have been grown for centuries.

Why Choose Alpine Ramble Treks for your Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

Consider why you want to trek in Nepal: are you drawn to the chance to meet our country’s famously friendly people? Are you fascinated by the historical and architectural wonders of our cities? Or do the mighty Himalayan mountains call to you? Whatever your desire, Alpine Ramble Treks will work with you to craft the trekking itinerary of your dreams.

We’re proud to create bespoke, private trekking packages, using the skills of dedicated guides and porters to ensure that your trek is a success. Because our guides are intimately familiar with the Himalayas' terrain, we can also add some flexibility to your itinerary.

If you need to stop early one day or prefer to trek a little further, we can change our plans on the fly. Your guide will ensure that you’re ascending at an appropriate pace, always keeping your safety as our first priority so when you’re ready to start planning your own Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

Choosing Alpine Ramble for this trek offers great advantages. We provide top-quality trekking gear, experienced local guides, and reliable porters. We are one of Nepal's top 5 trekking companies, with a stellar reputation. Choosing Alpine Ramble Treks will undoubtedly ensure you have the best trekking experience.

Best Time of Year for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Trekking seasons in Nepal are largely dictated by the summer monsoon, and our Annapurna Base Camp Trek is no exception. The monsoon typically lasts from June to August, and most visitors consequently choose to hike during the spring months of February to May or the autumn months of September to November.

These are the best times of year to enjoy the perfect combination of comfortable temperatures and clear mountain views. But you can hike in the Annapurnas at any time of year, and the snow-laden trails of winter are just as mysterious and evocative as the mist-shrouded hillsides of summer.

Whenever you choose to travel, rest assured that Alpine Ramble Treks will put together a trekking adventure that will surpass even your highest expectations.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Difficulty

Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most accessible hikes in the Himalayas. Most travelers in good health and reasonable physical fitness will be able to complete this itinerary without issue, and no previous trekking experience is required.

However, this trek does reach altitudes higher than 4,000 meters, and it’s important to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest in order to let your body adjust naturally to the increased elevation. As always, your guide will look after your progress and ensure that you enjoy a safe and rewarding trek to Annapurna Base Camp.

Other great choices for trekking in Nepal

If this itinerary isn’t quite right for you, Alpine Ramble Treks is also proud to offer a host of alternate treks in this region. If you’d like to spend more time in the mountains to see fantastic sights like Poon Hill, consider our 12-Day Annapurna Sanctuary Trek.

For an even more epic adventure, take a look at our 14-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. And if you really want to test your hiking mettle at even higher elevations, check out our Everest Base Camp Trek – 8 Days package.

Itinerary

Expand all +Collapse all -

We’ll depart from Kathmandu early this morning, leaving the city of temples behind to make an overland journey to one of Nepal’s most popular tourist hubs: Pokhara. Most travelers choose to take one of the tourist buses which regularly ply this route, but there are many ways to get to Pokhara. If you prefer, we can arrange a private transfer or a short flight at an additional expense. Whatever your mode of travel, you’ll fall in love with Pokhara at first sight. The city is situated along the shores of Lake Phewa and rests directly beneath the gaze of the towering Annapurna mountains. This is the country’s adventure capital, and thrillseekers congregate in Pokhara for mountain biking, bungee jumping, and—of course—Annapurna trekking expeditions. We’ll get checked into a first-rate hotel in the city before enjoying the rest of the evening at our leisure.

  • Driving Time: 6-7 hrs approx
  • Meals: Breakfast (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 850m/2788ft

After a short morning drive to the trailhead at Nayapul, it’s time to start hiking! On this first real day of trekking in Nepal, we’ll venture across relatively easy terrain to reach the village of Ghandruk. We’ll climb stone staircases past terraced fields, share the path with donkeys and horses laden with goods and supplies, and trek through lush forests to reach waterfalls of stunning beauty. All told, we’ll be on the trail for about four or five hours before reaching Ghandruk. The village itself is one of the largest Gurung settlements in the entire Annapurna mountains. After checking in at our guesthouse and dropping off our bags, we’ll have plenty of time to explore the town. Ghandruk is home to an especially beautiful monastery, as well as an interesting cultural museum—and you won’t want to miss the village’s splendid views of Machapuchare, Gangapurna, and the Annapurna massif.

  • Accommodation Type: Trekking Lodge /Tea House
  • Hiking Time : 4-5 hrs approx
  • Meals : Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 1,940m/6,365ft

Our second full day of trekking in Nepal will bring us from Ghandruk to the village of Chhomrong, for a total distance of approximately 10 kilometers. We’ll spend about five or six hours trekking through verdant rhododendron forests, crossing gravity-defying suspension bridges, and climbing to the high ridge at Jhinu Danda. The trekking will be more challenging today, but the rewards will be worth our efforts: as we draw closer to Chhomrong, we’ll encounter extraordinary views of the western Himalayas, including Annapurna South, Machapuchare, and Dhaulagiri. Chhomrong itself is a hilltop village populated by people of Gurung ethnicity. When we arrive, we’ll get checked in at the best available teahouse before taking some time to explore the town, visit its local markets, and meet the friendly folks who live here. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to attend a cultural performance or listen to local music this evening.

  • Accommodation: Trekking Lodge (Tea house)
  • Hiking time 5- 6 hrs approx
  • Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Max. Elevation: 2,170m/7,120ft

One thing you’ll notice when trekking in Nepal is that a single village or point of interest might have several different names. So it goes with today’s destination: the small group of lodges known collectively as Himalayan Hotel, or Himalaya. To get there, we’ll set off from Chhomrong in the morning, crossing a suspension bridge spanning the Chhomrong Khola river before climbing a series of stone steps and rising through a green world of bamboo and rhododendron. We’ll pass several well-known waypoints on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, including the villages of Bamboo and Dovan, and we’ll stop for lunch in a scenic spot along the way. The views of the western Himalayas today are genuinely jaw-dropping; we’ll emerge suddenly onto an unexpected ridge where you can see straight to Machapuchare. When we arrive at Chhomrong, we’ll have reached an elevation of nearly 3,000 meters, and you’ll want to bundle up in your down jacket and sleeping bag to keep warm tonight.

  • Accommodation Type: Trekking Lodge (Tea House)
  • Hiking Time: 4-5 hrs approx
  • Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 2820m/8828ft

Are you ready to take your shot at two remarkable trekking accomplishments? After breakfast at our teahouse, we’ll strike out for the first of two base camps on today’s agenda: Machapuchare Base Camp. To get there, we’ll follow the line of glacial moraines near the bowl of mountains known as the Annapurna Sanctuary. After checking with locals to make sure there’s no risk of avalanches, we’ll proceed to Machapuchare Base Camp to gain splendid views of Hiunchuli and the Annapurnas. Despite its name, Machapuchare Base Camp doesn’t actually represent a base camp for mountaineers; the mountain is considered sacred, and attempts at its summit are specifically prohibited.

After having lunch and taking in the view, we’ll shoulder our bags and trek for another few hours to reach the ultimate destination of our hike: Annapurna Base Camp itself. Sheltered within the walls of the Annapurna Sanctuary, the base camp is the best place in the world to enjoy unobstructed panoramas of Hiunchuli, Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Gangapurna, and Annapurna III. At 8,091 meters in elevation, Annapurna I is the tallest of the bunch, and spending the rest of the evening in the shadow of this magnificent Himalayan peak is sure to be the highlight of your Annapurna Base Camp Trek. As dusk settles over the mountains, we’ll retire to our guesthouse here at base camp for the night.

  • Accommodation Type: Trekking Lodge (Tea House)
  • Hiking Time: 5-6hrs approx
  • Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 4130m/13545ft (ABC)

We’ll rise this morning with a newfound sense of accomplishment after successfully reaching the apex of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. And while we still have the return journey to complete, you’ll quickly discover that descending from the Annapurnas is a much easier task. But first, we’ll linger at Annapurna Base Camp to watch the sun rise over the mountains and turn the peaks of the Himalayas to gold while we enjoy a steaming mug of tea at more than 4,000 meters in elevation. When we’re ready to move on, we’ll retrace our steps past Himalayan Hotel and Dovan to arrive at Bamboo. While today’s trek should be relatively gentle, we’ll still be hiking for five or six hours, and we’ll go slowly to spare our knees on the steepest descents. When we reach Bamboo, we’ll settle in at a local guesthouse and spend the evening getting to know this charming mountain town.

  • Accommodation Type: Trekking Lodge (Tea House)
  • Hiking Time: 6-7 hrs approx
  • Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 2815m/9120ft

On the seventh day of our Annapurna Base Camp Trek, we’ll enjoy a leisurely breakfast at Bamboo before setting off for Jhinu Danda. We’ll be traveling across familiar terrain for about four or five hours, following our trail as it cuts once again through woodlands of bamboo and rhododendron. After passing through Chhomrong, we’ll come across the Gurung village of Sinuwa. From here, we’ll tread the wooden boards of a suspension bridge to reach our destination: Jhinu Danda. After checking in at our teahouse and unloading our bags, we can take advantage of the area’s natural hot springs. We’ll make a short hike to the nearby riverbank to relax in the springs, reinvigorating our tired muscles while luxuriating in yet another splendid view of Annapurna South and Machapuchare. Later, we’ll return to our teahouse in Jhinu Danda to enjoy one last night in the mountains.

  • Accommodation Type: Trekking Lodge (Tea House)
  • Hiking Time: 4-5 hrs approx
  • Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (Included)
  • Maximum Elevation: 1,760m/5,775ft

On the penultimate day of our Annapurna Base Camp Trek, our path leads through terraced fields of rice and millet as we descend back into the foothills of the Annapurnas. After about four hours of trekking, we’ll find ourselves back in Nayapul, where our trek first began. It’s here that we’ll meet our ride to Pokhara; the drive should take less than two hours, leaving us plenty of time to enjoy dinner and sample some nightlife in Nepal’s adventure capital. After getting checked into your hotel in the city, you’ll have the rest of the evening at your leisure. We recommend checking out some of Pokhara’s fascinating temples, monasteries, restaurants, and other points of cultural and natural interest. This is also a great opportunity to purchase any last-minute souvenirs before we set out for Kathmandu in the morning.


Today or tomorrow: We Drive from Pokhara to Kathmandu (7 hours)

It’s time to return to Kathmandu, bringing our adventure full circle at last. Depending on what you’ve arranged, we’ll board a flight back to the capital or take the scenic route to travel by road for about seven hours. Either way, this leg of the journey concludes our nine-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek. If you’re leaving Nepal, we’ll bring you back to the Tribhuvan International Airport for your outgoing flight. If you’d like to consider another trek, jungle safari, or sightseeing tour, we’d be happy to help you make any necessary arrangements. But wherever you go from here, we’re thrilled that you’ve chosen Alpine Ramble Treks to lead your Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Thank you for visiting us—we hope to welcome you back to Nepal soon.

  • Cosmos Hui - May 30, 2024

    It is such an amazing trekking experience for me and my friends. Nepal is definitely a must-visit destination, with great nature, nice people, interesting culture, in short, an amazing country. Special mention to our tour guide Laxman and two of our porters, who managed to make our trip even more incredible and memorable.

  • Vincent Ma - May 30, 2024

    We are a 3man group to the ABC trek, we got great experience in this trip. Special thanks to the porters and the guide Laxman who is an experienced guide take good care of us in these 8days. We firstly went to ghandruk, a cultural village with great view for a night. After that we went through the mountain, cross the bridge to MBC and ABC which is the destination of this trip. The view is great there at night and with the sunrise we saw the whole picture of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, not gonna lie thats damn great. It’s trip of a life time, and definitely worth it

  • Dexter Lee - May 29, 2024

    It was the first time I tried trekking and it was a fantastic experience. Led by our very nice guide (Laxman) and two very strong porters, our trip was planned very smoothly from accommodation, meals, to itinerary, etc. it was a very caring trip for beginners to experience trekking in Himalayas.

  • Nadia A. - April 06, 2023

    My friend and I had such an amazing time in Nepal doing the ABC trek. Booking with Alpine Ramble was very easy. Dil was very responsive, answered all our questions and handled almost everything (airport transfer, hotel bookings, bus/domestic flight bookings, etc). The only thing we had to do was book our flight to Nepal and buy our own insurance. Alpine Ramble was also very flexible when we wanted to change things such as tea house and flight bookings. We had Prasan as our guide and Min as our Porter. THEY ARE BOTH AWESOME! They both looked after us so well. While trekking, whenever we asked how much longer to the next location, Prasan was very good at giving us timings based on our walking speed. All the tea house that we stayed at had such stunning views of the mountains for sun rise. Going downhill, they noticed that I’m a bit clumsy (especially when the ground is wet) and made sure to stay near by to catch me when I’d slip. When either of us weren’t feeling too well, they also offered to carry our day packs too. When we both decided to change where we would stay for our final night of trekking due to exhaustion, they sorted it out without a fuss. Prasan is not only a great guide but also takes great photos to make sure you’re able to look back at the wonderful memories you’ve made. Both Min and Prasan were always so cheerful and took time to get to know us over the 6 full days of trekking. Alpine Ramble, Prasan and Min made my first trip to Nepal wonderful and I’d definitely come back!

  • Allan Gaun - October 27, 2021

    My trip with Hari was absolutely adventure packed. He’s an experienced and hella funny guy that helped me right when I got off the plane in Katmandu. Ensuring I was safe and fed in my hotel even before the trekking tour started. Dil the trip advisor was incredibly friendly and helpful for navigating the city and ensuring I was up for the tour. I learned about the traditional mountain lifestyle as Hari was originally from the mountain villages, and felt safe all the way throughout my trek, he even found the best rooms with views for me and checked in on my health towards the top of the mountain. It was only an 8 day trek, but I feel like we talked about so much and had the most insightful journey I could ask for. Throughout the 8 days, you will go through so many ups and downs, it’s a journey of a lifetime, we are extremely fortunate to have guides like this around. Resham firiri.
