Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, you will be warmly received by our representative and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu. After check-in, you can rest from your journey or take a short walk around the neighborhood to stretch your legs.
In the evening, we conduct a pre-trek briefing, covering the route, safety measures, altitude awareness, and equipment check.

Today we travel west to Pokhara, Nepal’s most scenic lakeside city. The drive follows rivers, terraced hillsides, and rural villages, offering a gradual transition from the capital to the mountains.
Upon arrival, check in at your hotel and enjoy free time near Phewa Lake, with views of the Annapurna range if the weather is clear.

Overnight: Hotel in Pokhara

After breakfast, we drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, the starting point of the trek. The drive takes you through farmland and small settlements at the foothills of the Annapurna region.
On arrival, meet the trekking crew, organize gear, and begin walking along gentle trails following the Modi Khola valley.

Overnight: Lodge/Tea house

The trek officially begins today. We pass through villages, terraced fields, and forests, gradually gaining altitude. The trail involves stone staircases and river crossings before climbing steeply to Chhomrong, a beautiful Gurung village perched high above the valley.
Chhomrong offers impressive views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchchhre (Fishtail).

Descending from Chhomrong, we cross the Chhomrong Khola and begin a steady ascent through bamboo, rhododendron, and oak forests. The air becomes cooler as we move deeper into the sanctuary.
The trail passes through Sinuwa and Bamboo before reaching Himalayan, a small settlement surrounded by forested slopes.

Overnight: Tea house in Himalayan

This is one of the most rewarding days of the trek. The trail climbs steadily above the tree line, opening into a wide alpine valley. We reach Machhapuchchhre Base Camp (MBC), where dramatic mountain views begin to dominate the landscape.
After a rest, we continue to Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by a natural amphitheater of peaks including Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchchhre. The sense of scale and isolation here is unforgettable.

Early risers can enjoy sunrise over the Annapurna massif before descending. The return route follows the same trail, but with a completely different perspective.
Descending through MBC and Himalayan, we re-enter the forested zone and continue down to Bamboo, easing the body back to lower altitude.

Overnight: Tea house in Bamboo

The trail continues downhill through forests and villages, with some uphill sections along the way. We reach Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs.
In the afternoon, you can walk down to the riverside hot springs and relax your muscles after days of trekking.

Overnight: Tea house in Jhinu Danda

We complete the final trekking section back to Nayapul, passing villages and farmlands. From Nayapul, we drive to Pokhara and continue onward to Kathmandu the same day.
This is a long travel day, but it completes the full circuit within the planned timeframe.

Overnight: Hotel in Kathmandu

If Day 9 is adjusted for comfort, this day can be used as a separate travel day from Pokhara to Kathmandu. The scenic drive allows time to rest, shop, or enjoy a relaxed pace before international departure preparations.

After breakfast, our representative will transfer you to the airport for your onward international flight.
The trek concludes with memories of the Annapurna Sanctuary and a complete Himalayan trekking experience.
