Annapurna Base Camp Trek Route

The picturesque Annapurna base camp trek route begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara. It takes six to eight hours to travel 200 kilometres on the Prithvi Highway. Offering your first look at the foothills of the Himalayas, it winds through hills, rivers, and small towns.

After arriving in Pokhara and taking a quick break, you will drive to Ghandruk (1,940 m), a quaint Gurung village with expansive views of neighbouring peaks. The trip is an adventure in and of itself because the road is partially gravel and partially paved.

Starting at Ghandruk, the trekking route gradually ascends to Chhomrong (2,170 m). In addition, the trail travels through stone staircases, rhododendron forests, and terraced farms. You will find a comfortable teahouse at Chhomrong, as well as all-night stops on the trek.

The route to ABC continues from Chhomrong along the Modi Khola Valley, gradually rising through small settlements, suspension bridges, and forests as it approaches Doban (2,600 m). It will take you approximately four hours to get there.

Following Doban, the forest opens up into more alpine meadows and rocky terrain at Deurali (3,230 m). Travellers typically spend five to six hours on this section, which offers increasingly striking mountain views of Machhapuchhre and Annapurna I.

From Deurali, your Annapurna Odyssey continues as the trail ascends to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700 m), which offers breathtaking up-close views of the Machhapuchhre peak. Your journey continues to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m) after a short break.

The climb from Deurali to ABC typically takes six to seven hours, during which time you will pass through high-altitude meadows and moraines.

After breakfast in the early morning, you will descend from Annapurna Base Camp through Upper Sinwa or Bamboo, passing through pine groves, alpine forests, and sporadic viewpoints.

Additionally, you will descend to Jhinu Danda (1,780 m) from Upper Sinwa or Bamboo, where you can pause and unwind at natural hot springs. After the hike to the trailhead, you have to drive back to Pokhara.

Driving back to Kathmandu from Pokhara is the last part of the ten-day trip to ABC.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Alternative Routes

We can extend or shorten the 10-day trek to suit your preferences if you are an adventure seeker and would like to travel to ABC with additional destinations, or if you think the 10-day trek is too demanding.

Trekking in the Annapurna region offers many different routes with stunning locations that you can incorporate into your trip.

We also provide the ABC Trek via Poon Hill and the Mardi Himal Trek in addition to the standard Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Three famous routes in the Annapurna region are combined in this 17-day trip to ABC with Poon Hill and Mardi Himal.

In a single trek, you will see the famous Annapurna Base Camp, the Poon Hill Viewpoint, and the Mardi Himal, which offers you the most varied landscapes and expansive views of the Himalayas.

With just an extra 7 days to the standard trek, this package is perfect for hikers looking for a different and more fulfilling option. It avoids backtracking, adds memorable sunrise moments, and includes the dramatic Mardi Himal Ridge.

We also have other packages, such as the 5-day ABC trek from Pokhara and the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with helicopter return, for those who find the typical 10-day ABC trek too long.

The 5-day ABC trek is intended for energetic hikers looking for a quick yet challenging Himalayan experience. From Pokhara, this trip effectively completes the traditional ABC route.

Reduces the duration of the trek while still covering all of the major highlights, such as MBC, ABC, and the Modi Khola valley, making it suitable for those with a tight schedule.

Similarly, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with a helicopter return is an opulent package that includes leisurely sightseeing in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Additionally, it includes flying back in a matter of minutes while taking in the aerial views of Annapurna Sanctuary, eliminating the lengthy descent back along the same route. 

For travellers with less physical stamina, this package is a fantastic choice because it minimises overall stress while still enabling access to the famous 4,130-meter base camp. With inclusive relaxation days in Kathmandu and Pokhara, it's perfect for families, couples, seniors, and kids to spend quality time together.
