7 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek graded as a moderate trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Even beginners can do this trek. The trek takes the trekkers to Annapurna Base Camp (4160m) through either Poonhill or Jhinu Danda and Chhomrong, Sinuwa Bamboo, Himalaya, Deurali and Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3700m). Most importantly, passing through all these local villages and viewpoints along with the local flora and fauna of Annapurna Conservation Area, the largest protected area in the world, will be a lifetime experience for the trekkers during Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Walking through deep woods, enjoying the melodious rhythm of natural waterfalls, talking to hospitable people on the trail, enjoying local vegetables and other dishes, saying ‘Namaste’ to other fellow travelers and most importantly, alluring mountain views including Machhapuchhre, Annapurna-I, Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Manaslu, Himal Chuli, Shinga Chuli, Ten Peak and many other snow-fed summits on the trail and from Annapurna Base Camp.
Previously, Annapurna Base Camp Trek would begin from Nayapool and it would take one full day to ascend Jhino Danda via Syauli Bazaar. But, these days, the jeep drive from Pokhara to Jhino Danda and the local bus drive are facilitating the trekkers to get Jhino Danda from Pokhara without walking within 3 hours. In this way, the trekkers can save 2 days time to go Jhino Danda from Pokhara and come back. So, the trekkers should plan their time framing accordingly. Actaully, It's almost worthless to walk along the concrete road to and from Jhino Danda.
Annapurna Base Camp trek 7 days commences from Jhinu Danda after 3 hour's Jeep Drive from Pokhara. The jeep drive can be done only during Autumn, Spring and Winter, but not in Summer or rainy. You will go to Pokhara either by bus or domestic flight. If you use a bus ride, you will spend 6-7 hours or if you use a domestic flight, then, it will take 35 minutes.
After you get to Jhinu Danda by jeep drive you will ascend to Chhomrong and then walk to Sinuwa. Next, the trekkers will walk to Bamboo and Dovan, Himalaya, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp and finally to Annapurna Base Camp and walk down along the same trail to Jhinu Danda. You will walk down to the bank of Modi Khola and enjoy natural hot springs for hours which can heal your all pains of walking ups and downs. Then, relax your body and mind in natural hot springs and drive back to Pokhara to end your 7 days at Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
The trek route requires two different types of permits. These are the Annapurna Conservation Area Entry Permit and TIMS ( Trekking Information Management System) Card. The TIMS Card costs USD 20 and ACAP ( Annapurna Conservation Area Project) Entry Permits cost USD 30. You can obtain these two Annapurna Base Camp Trek Permits through your local travel partner you are using for your Nepal trip or you can collect them directly. Simply provide your travel partner with a copy of your passport and some recent photographs, and they will get the permits for you.
Until Pokhara, trekkers will enjoy luxury accommodation and they can have the food items they like. But, when they ascend to Jhinu Danda, they may not have such a chance to have accommodation and food items. However, don’t be sad, there are plenty of lodges and guesthouses to organize your accommodation and food. Moreover, your guide will manage your beautiful food and accommodation for you during the trek.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek- Is this right for you?
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a moderate trek to the final destination, Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) via Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3700m). Annapurna Base Camp Trek begins with an easy hike from Jhino Danda and turns to be moderately difficult while ascending to Deurali (3200m). While you are ascending to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3700m) and finally to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m), you find Annapurna Base Camp Trek little stressful but astoundingly rewarding.
Some people take Annapurna Base Camp Trek as an easy and some consider it as a moderate trek. Some basic skills of hiking and trekking will be sufficient for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. No special technicality of trekking and hiking is required for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. However, you must be prepared well for 6-7 hours walking with several steep ups and downs mostly above 3000m above covering 10-12 kilometers distance each day in average. Are you ready to do that during Annapurna Base Camp Trek? Are you all set with right packing list and professional trekking crew to beat the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking trail? Are you very determined for conquering Annapurna Base Camp Trek with necessary preparations including regular exercises, aerobics, outdoor sports and short hikes and treks with steep climbs and downs? If you have already done so, then, Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be right for you and you will celebrate this adventure to Annapurna Base Camp with alluring Machhapuchhre and Annapurna massif.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail is entirely based in Annapurna Conservation Area beginning from Jhino Danda(1700m) taking you to Annapurna Base Camp ( 4130m) and takes you back to the same destination, Jhino Danda to end the hiking officially. The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail is not technical but moderately difficult. It seems an easy hike but, in fact, it is a bit strenuous in the sense that one requires hiking at least 7 hours a day with steep ups and downs equally covering at least 10-12 kilometers distance each day. The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail is safe; no threats of avalanches and landslides and even no threats of wild animals of Annapurna Conservation Area.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail is mostly through the pine, birch, juniper, fir and rhododendron and local villages with teahouses and lodges. If you go Annapurna Base Camp in Spring, you will enjoy magnificent rhododendron flowering in different seven colors which entirely blankets the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail till Deurali (3200m).
The steep walk of Jhino Danda initially seems to be very challenging to climb up Chhomrong for at least 3 hours. This tiring walk really makes the trekkers who are doing Annapurna Base Camp Trek almost hopeless but rest of the trails is less challenging and less strenuous.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail after Deurali is less strenuous and less steep while ascending to Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp. However, due to high elevation above 3500m, one may feel little difficult in pacing and breathing. Go slowly taking a long deep breath while ascending from Machhapuchhre Base Camp(3700m) to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m).
The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trails passes through Jhino Danda, Chhomrong, Sinuwa, Bamboo, Himalaya, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp before ascending to the final destination, Annapurna Base Camp.
While backtracking, the trekkers will use the same trails as they did before and end the Annapurna Base Camp Trek at Jhino Danda where they can have a sweet and relaxing taste of natural springs.
Overall, the ascents and docents are equal in distance and hours that one has to encounter. The steepest among them is Jhino Danda ascent to Chhomrong village if you are beginning from Jhino Danda. Alternatively, you can combine Ghorepani-Poonhill Trek with Annapurna Base Camp Trek. IF you go with ABC Trek with Poonhill, you don’t need to encounter this steep ascent from the base of the Jhino Danda. You will have flat trail directly going to Chhomrong from Tadapani.
The guide and porter you hire for Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be our own trekking crew and Haven Holidays Team. They are very professional, helpful and caring all the time. You can ask help in need whenever you require and they will be very delighted to help you. They are fully authorized with valid license to lead the trekkers/travelers in the mountain and in the city.
The team of guide and porter we provide you are well-known to local culture, accommodation, foods, elevation trekking distance per day, different breaks (water, toilets, tea/coffee and light snacks, lunch etc) during the day-walk, first-aid applications, acute mountain sickness, rescue if necessary and arrangement of transportation during the trek. The team who you are with is eco-friendly and great communicators. You can enjoy merrymaking and share your things if you like.
In case you are critically suffered of acute mountain sickness or of any other causes while ascending to Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) or anywhere on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek trail, you will immediately be rescued by the helicopter and admitted at the hospital of Pokhara City or Kathmandu Valley and begin the further treatment. For this, you must allow your trekking partner and your guide to call the helicopter by presenting authentic travel insurance that covers all rescue and treatment expenses.
It is very important to consider whether to go with bus ride to Pokhara from Kathmandu and back or by air. If you have an important schedule and important thing to do right after and before your Annapurna Base Camp Trek, it is recommended to go with domestic flight to and from Pokhara. Another big issue will be the issue of heavy traffic on Prithvi Highway and the 6 hours drive from and to Pokhara may prolong like 10-12 hours sometimes. Again, if you have travel sickness, please try your best to escape this 6-8 hours drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back.
Another important thing to consider is that if you are completely beginner and learning to hike for 3-4 hours in a day covering less than 7 kilometers, please, don’t try to go Annapurna Base Camp which is located at 4130m above the sea level. One requires good level of stamina, condidence and preparations for Annapruna Base Camp. Make sure that you have packed all required trekking gears and can walk at least 7 hours a day covering 10-12 kilometers distance in average in a day, then only, go for Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Make your Annapurna Base Camp Trek either in Spring ( Mar-May) or in Autumn( Sep-Nov).
Personally, what like most about Annapurna Base Camp Trek is stepping at Annapurna Base Camp and capturing giant Annapurna South and alluring Machhapuchhre. Along with this, one can enjoy the walk through Annapurna Conservation Area with diverse species of flora and fauna. Moreover, trekkers will find Pokhara city as paradise for relaxation and refreshment. The final and the most important thing in Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the natural hot springs of Jhino Danda where trekkers can release all weariness and exhaustion at the end of the trek by dipping their bodies into the natural hot water at the bank of Modi River.
Tipping for your guide and porter is not mandatory but they expect something extra from you after they work hard for you. Isn’t it? You’d better prepare USD 5-10 per day per individual guide and porter. But, it doesn’t mean that you have to do the same as we recommend you. You reward them with some handsome tipping as well if you are fully satisfied. Sometimes, you don’t need to reward them with tipping if they don’t take a good care of you and try to spoil your trip with some unnecessary personal benefits and interests. Nevertheless, tipping ( little or more) seems to be mandatory in present world while doing a vacation trip.
You will enjoy, mostly, freshly cooked local cuisines during the trip. The local teahouse and lodges will offer you very authentic local cuisines like tsampa, porridge, Tibetan bread, yak meat items, locally grown vegetables and fruits, etc. They also offer some continental, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and popular dishes during the trek as mentioned on their food menu. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, no problem, you will have various items of meals in the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and for this, you require informing your trek leader before the trek commences.
You can cook on your own at local lodges while staying overnight during the trip in the mountain on the condition that you won’t disturb and if the kitchen is not crowded if you have this hobby. You can carry the instant noodles and can prepare in your room during your Annapurna Base Camp trek. The meals you have will be freshly cooked and very hygienic in order to ensure your balanced diet and hygiene. Pick up the item from food menu prepared by local lodges and teahouses and ask them to prepare it for you.
The temperature at Everest Base Camp is normally negative and you have to prepare accordingly. The actual temperature at Annapurna Base Camp ranges between 12 to negative 18 degree Celsius. Though the temperature at Annapurna Base Camp rises to 12 degree Celsius in the sunny day and it drops down to -18 at night and one may face heavy snowfall as well if you go to Annapurna Base Camp in pre and post winter months/days ( Early Dec and late Feb). It is almost impossible to ascend to Annapurna Base Camp in the peak of the winter as Annapurna Base Camp is entirely covered with snow and people cannot stay there during the peak of the winter months.
Temperature at Annapurna Base Camp in Autumn (Sep-Nov) ranges between 12 to negative 7 degree Celsius.
Temperature at Annapurna Base Camp in Spring (Mar- May) ranges between 12 to negative 5 degree Celsius.
Trekkers who are going to Annapurna Base Camp are advised to prepare accordingly by consulting their trekking leader.
The best Itinerary for Annapurna Base Camp Trek is Annapurna Base Camp Trek 8 days. The 8 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek Itinerary has two days for driving/flying to Pokhara and back to Kathmandu in the beginning and the end of Annapurna Base Camp Trek. 5 and half days will be for real trekking and half day will be for Pokhara sightseeing and refreshment tours. 7 days will be just enough and 8 days will be more than enough with relaxing walks and refreshments in Pokhara as well.
Begin your trek from Jhino Danda and you will ascend to Sinuwa on the first day. The second day, you will ascend to Deurali and the day, you will get your final destination, Annapurna Base Camp and it takes two more days to walk down to Jhino Danda via Bamboo. While returning, you will stay overnight at Bamboo and then to Jhino Danda. The sixth day, you will drive back to Pokhara and do city sightseeing tour in Pokhara with lake activities in Phewa Lake.
The final two days, the 7th one for driving in Pokhara and the 8th day will be driving back to Kathmandu from Pokhara.
This way, you can enjoy your Annapurna Base Camp Trek with all activities you want to do. We really don’t need any acclimatization day for Annapurna Base Camp Trek as we are not going above 5000m like in Everest Base Camp Trek and Manaslu Circuit Trek.
