Deluxe Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

Namaste! We will welcome you at the international airport and transfer you to our hotel upon arrival. We will take you to an authentic Nepali dinner once you’re settled (relaxed and freshened up). At the dining table, we can get to know each other better while enjoying tasty food and setting clear expectations for each other regarding the rest of our days. This will also give you a more in-depth understanding of the upcoming trek.

We will start our day with a breakfast of Nepali traditional and authentic foods.  Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal. It is also famous for religious places, monuments, and world heritage sites. We will visit Swayambhunath, famous for Buddhists and Hindu pilgrims. We will visit places like Pashupatinath, famous among all the Hindu pilgrims. After that,

After lunch, we will fly to Pokhara from Tribhuvan International Airport. It will be a 30-minute flight that will take place above the Nepal mountain range. You will see the breathtaking views of different hills and mountain ranges for 30 minutes. After reaching Pokhara, you will be shifted to a 3-star hotel. Be fresh and rest; after that, we will explore Pokhara. Pokhara is the place with the most leisure and sightseeing places. As soon as you reach Pokhara, you will see Phewa Lake. After boating in Phewa Lake, we will visit other places like Tal Barahi Temple.

After breakfast, we will meet and greet the porter and guide team, who will be fully supportive and assist us throughout the trek. Then, we will leave the leisure city Pokhara, driving 1 hour to Nayapul, the entry point of Annapurna base camp trek. Nayapul is a small town filled with shops selling trekking equipment. You may do your last-minute shopping here, for our trek will start immediately. We will drive to Ghandruk a Gurung cultural village. Overnight at Ghandruk.

After breakfast, we will head north of the village. We will walk on an exposed trail to the ridge's summit and descend to the green valley and suspension bridge over the Kimrong Khola. After lunch, we descend to the valley through the thick cluster of rhododendrons and oak forest to reach Chhomrong, which has excellent views of snowy peaks.

After breakfast, we will descend to Chhomrong Khola, cross the river, and climb up to the stunning village of Sinuwa. After that, we walk along the upper reaches of the Modi Khola Valley through the dense forest of cane, rhododendrons, and oak. The trail rises and descends to the village of Bamboo (2,310 m/7,580 ft), located at the bank of the river. After lunch, we will rise through the uninhabited forest to Doban.

After breakfast, we will trek, leave Sinuwa, and walk along the upper Modi Khola valley. The trek for today is relatively physically demanding, as most of the time, it involves walking uphill. After lunch, we continue our trek to Bamboo through an uninhabited forest area and then to Dovan. The route climbs up to the Himalayan Hotel (2840 m). We can explore the Hinku cave, where the trail crosses a ravine and a major avalanche track. After about few hours of hiking we reach Deurali (3,000 m/9,840 ft) for an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we will head to the serene sanctuary of the Annapurna Base Camp for an overnight stay. Leaving Deurali, we will walk through the riverbed and ascend for a few hours. We will stop by Machhapuchhre Base Camp, where you can capture the best view of the stunning Machhapuchhre, together with other mountains like Annapurna South, Annapurna I and III, and Gangapurna. If people experience any high altitude sickness, we can choose to stay at the lounge there for safety concerns.

Or else, we continue our journey to the ABC through a few roofless shepherd's huts alongside a moraine. Be prepared, as this area is often windy and snowbound, yet the sight of the south face of Annapurna is gratifying. Walking for about 6 hours, we reach the ABC, where the panorama of the snow-capped Himalayas will surround us. You can enjoy the unobstructed view of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and other peaks from the base camp. If you're interested, take your time to explore and relax at the base camp.

We will wake up early to catch a glimpse of sunrise. Watching the fireball gradually rise over Mt. Annapurna is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After the therapeutic scene, we will return to the trail, descending for five hours all the way to Bamboo. We will enjoy the memorable scenery and stay overnight at the teahouse.

After breakfast, we will set foot from Bamboo for an uphill hike to Khuldi Ghar and return to Sinuwa, followed by some stone steps to Chhomrong. After lunch, the trek steeply descends towards Jhinu Danda, our destination for today. You may visit a natural hot spring down to the stream, enjoy the hot bath, and refresh yourself after the 6-hour walk.
