Annapurna Base Camp is a worldwide famous trekking venue for all kinds of trekkers (children, young, adults & elders) with different difficulty levels. With this trek, travelers find the magnificent Annapurna region in front of them.

All the accommodations are arranged in hotels, lodges, and tea houses.


The most popular trekking region ‘Annapurna’ is located in Gandaki province of Nepal. ABC trek is a moderate trek suitable for new as well as experienced trekkers too. The trek is a beautiful platform to reach the proximity of the Annapurna range which consists of a series of snowcapped magnificent mountains; one over 8,000 meters, 13 over 7,000 meters, and 16 over 6,000 meters. Annapurna I has an altitude of 8,091 m.

Our trip starts from Kathmandu with an approximately 7-hour drive to the city of Lakes Pokhara’. Spending overnight in Pokhara, with 1.30 hours’ drive, tomorrow morning we head to the trekking starting point Nayapool. Then we trek to Ghandruk; a Gurung village rich in their culture, tradition & hospitality. From Ghandruk beautiful imagery of Annapurna & Machhapuchre Mountain can be seen. The next day we ascend to another Gurung village Chhomorong. The next day also, ascend continues through the rhododendron forest to reach the Himalayan hotel. Tomorrow morning we walk towards our destination Annapurna Base Camp via Machhapuchre Base Camp.

The next day we descend to Bamboo and stay overnight there. Another morning too we descend to Jhinu Danda through Rhododendron forest. Tomorrow morning we descend to Modi Khola. Crossing the river we reach beautiful Landruk village and proceed toward today’s destination Pothana. Another morning we walk down to Phedi and then drive back to Pokhara. On the last day, we drive back from the city of lakes ‘Pokhara’ to the city of temples ‘Kathmandu’. 

This trek is a short and easier trail than any other route in the Annapurna Himalayan Range. Even those traveling with children or elderly trekkers can enjoy this trip. You sleep and eat at mountain lodges called “tea houses” and your luggage is carried by a porter.

We fell in love with Nepal during our ABC trek

Hello Bishnu, Namaste! We came back home just yesterday and we are already thinking about our next vacation in Nepal. The trek to Annapurna Base Camp was such a great adventure! We were delighted with the breathtaking landscapes, charming villages but most of all with the wonderful and friendly Nepali people. The trek was so enjoyable and fun thanks to our guide Phurba and porter Dan. Those two guys did an excellent job! All the way they took perfect care of us and we had a great time together. Phurba shared with us his knowledge about Nepali culture and Sherpas' life, making our evenings in lodges very interesting. During our stay in Nepal we were also amazed by Kathmandu and its historical sites, such as Pashupatinath Temple. We are sure that we still have many treasures to discover in Nepal so we hope to return one day to your beautiful country. We appreciate high quality of services provided by your company and thank you for all your kindness and friendship. Wishing you all the best, Iwona, Tomek, Gosia and Waldek from Poland.
