After breakfast in the morning, our guides will pick you up from the agreed-upon meeting spot in Pokhara, and you will then embark on a picturesque road trip. You will travel past rivers, terraced hillsides, and quaint Gurung villages before arriving at the entrance to the Annapurna sanctuary, Jhinu Danda.

You will officially begin your hike uphill through lush subtropical forests, peaceful waterfalls, orchids, and bird sounds after a brief meal and rest stop at Jhinu. Following four to five hours of hiking, you will reach the tranquil Himalayan village of Bamboo (2310 m), which is encircled by bamboo groves. Here, you will spend your first night in comfortable teahouses.

    The second day of your short journey to Annapurna base camp is important because it is both demanding and productive. You will start your slow ascent early in the morning, traversing multiple streams and suspension bridges as you make your way through thick bamboo and rhododendron forests. The trail leads to the Machapuchhre Base Camp (3700 m), passing through small communities like Deurali, picturesque waterfalls, and stone steps.Then, as the trees start to thin out and you enter the alpine zones, the scenery drastically changes, revealing high-altitude vegetation, rock-strewn paths, and expansive views of the mountains.

    You will eventually reach the Annapurna Base Camp (4130 m) after hours of hiking through glacial valleys and moraine. You can see a 360-degree Himalayan amphitheater from the ABC, surrounded by Annapurna I, II, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, and Machapuchhre.Savor the magnificent golden sunset, which makes for an ideal photo opportunity.

          Useful Information

          Best Time

          While the 4-day short ABC Trekking can be done at any time of year, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the ideal seasons to visit this place.

          The best time to see Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Himchuli is in the spring, when the skies are clear. During this time of year, the trail is more colorful and vibrant due to the pleasant weather and the full bloom of the rhododendron forests.

          Another fantastic season for hiking to ABC is the fall, which provides consistent weather and wide-ranging views of the mountains after the monsoon. But be prepared to see a lot of other tourists because this is the busiest time of year.

          Difficulty

          The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most picturesque treks in Nepal, offering 360-degree panoramic views of the Annapurna region and surrounding mountains. The best part is that this 4-day Annapurna Base Camp trek is suitable for both experienced and inexperienced hikers, making it a moderately challenging trek.

          In actuality, this package is designed to satisfy the requirements of various individuals, including couples and families. Compared to other long treks to the Annapurna Base Camp, the rapid ABC trek from Pokhara is fast and saves most of your time.

          Accommodation

          This short hike to Annapurna Base Camp takes you to the remote and lofty Himalayas. Accommodations in cozy teahouses and lodges with basic amenities in the Annapurna region are included in this package. There are rooms available for twin and triple sharing during the stay.

          Basic facilities like hot showers, wifi, charging, and hot water are available for additional costs on top of the package price. Upscale amenities are scarce in the Annapurna region due to its remote location.

          Food

          Your body will require healthy, high-carbohydrate meals when you are trekking and staying at high elevations like the Annapurna Base Camp. For this reason, our 4 Days Annapurna Base Camp trekking itinerary includes three wholesome meals every day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) in consideration of your needs.

          You can choose from the menu, but keep in mind that due to the remote location, there might not be as many options as you would like. 

          There are plenty of food options, including pizza, fried rice, thukpa, chow mein, noodle dishes, porridges, vegetable soup, garlic soup, and Dal Bhat Tarkari. 

          Along with the three daily meals, trekkers are also reminded that other food items like tea, coffee, cold drinks, and snacks come at an extra cost.

          Travel Insurance

          Prior to starting your ABC 4-day adventure, you must have the appropriate travel insurance. For emergency helicopter evacuation, the insurance must cover the highest trek altitude of 4,130 meters.

          For adventurous activities like trekking, we suggest confirming that your insurance covers unforeseen medical expenses.

          Tipping Culture

          Although it is not required, tipping is strongly advised as a thank you for the assistance your guides and porters have given you during your trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Generally speaking, tipping should be at least 10% of the total cost of your trip. If you truly enjoyed the service, you can tip more than the minimum required for the trip.

          Porters & Guides

          A guide is necessary for the trip to ABC from Pokhara. Mount Glory Treks provides one experienced guide for a group of eight. If there are more than eight people in your group, we will provide an additional assistant guide to make your trip easier. 

          Porters are crucial to your mountain adventure because they are in charge of carrying your heavy bags and luggage. Trekking in Nepal's challenging Annapurna region is nearly impossible without porters, which is why we include them in our package. Additionally, two climbers are given a porter who can lift up to 25 kg of luggage.

          For your information, our package includes travel insurance, lodging, food, and transportation for the guides and porters.
