Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a 7-day Himalayan adventure starting from Pokhara and leading into the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The route combines mountain villages, forest trails, rivers and spectacular views of the surrounding peaks.
The journey begins with a drive from Pokhara to Samrung, followed by trekking towards Chhomrong and Sinuwa. As the trail climbs higher, you pass through Dobhan, Deurali and Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC) before reaching Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 metres.
From Annapurna Base Camp, the trek follows the trail back through Bamboo and Sinuwa, continuing towards Jhinu Danda, where you can relax at the natural hot spring before returning to Pokhara.
The trail passes through lush forests, stone steps, mountain settlements and narrow valley trails. Along the way, you will see traditional Gurung communities and changing landscapes as the trail moves from lower hills into the Annapurna Sanctuary.
The higher sections offer close-up views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli and the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
This is a challenging trek with long walking days, steep stone steps and significant changes in altitude. A good level of fitness is recommended, particularly for the higher sections towards Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp.
No technical climbing experience is required, but preparation and acclimatization are important.
You will experience mountain villages, forest trails, Himalayan landscapes and the unique atmosphere of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m is the main highlight, followed by the relaxing natural hot spring at Jhinu Danda.
