Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Once you reach Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), the Himalayan Marvel Adventure delegate will receive you from there then check-in in the hotel.

Early in the morning, we will sit together for a meeting with the trek guide and our staff then we will give a brief discussion about our itineraries, accommodation, transportation, services that we include, and exclude, and we provide a cap, T-shirt, and bag with our company logo. 

After the meeting, you can go to Kathmandu sightseeing with our city tour guide. Our city tour guide will take you to many famous places of Kathmandu valley like Kathmandu Durbar Square, Budhanilkantha, Bouddha, Pashupati Bhaktapur, Swoyambhu, Asan -market, and many more according to the time we have.

The day starts early in the morning in both cases to drive or fly to Pokhara. It will take around 7-8 hrs and most probably we will start at 6 am and will have lunch in the way. Once we reach Pokhara we will check-in in the hotel and take a rest. In the evening we will visit the lakeside of Pokhara and relax there. 

If we fly to Pokhara then we will leave for the airport by 7 am and take a flight at 8 am. After some time we will reach Pokhara and check-in in the hotel. Since it is not tiring that’s why we can explore around Pokhara. You will find many exciting places here with natural beauty. The whole day you can enjoy the beauty of nature at Pokhara and can take part in some exciting adventures like paragliding, zip flyer, mountain biking, ultralight flight, and many more. 

Many adventures are waiting for you so it is your decision to go to Pokhara by driving or flying.

The day starts with breakfast at Pokhara and then drive to Kimchi, which will take around 2-3 hrs. After a short smash, we start our trek to Ghandruk. Walking for two hours, finally, we reached today’s destination. We check-in in the lodge and relax for some time and then have lunch. After lunch the remaining time you can enjoy yourself. 

On the second day of trekking, we need to ascend twice and descend once, so we start early in the morning after breakfast. Passing through several villages, streams, and ascending via a stone staircase, we reach Kimrung Danda from where we have a close view of Mt. Annapurna South, Mt. Machhapuchhre, and Mt. Himchuli. After a short break, we resume our trek descending towards Kimrung Khola via a forested route filled with fir and oak trees and then cross the suspension bridge. After that, steep climbing on the ridge leads us to our today’s destination, Chhomrong.

It’s a five-six hours trek, so once we reach Chhomrong, we will have lunch and then take a rest.

The third day of the trek starts with breakfast at Chhomrong and then walk-on 2500 stone steps before reaching Chhomrong Khola, then cross a suspension bridge and climb uphill to Sinuwa. If the weather remains clear, we will have fantastic clear mountains and surrounding views. After a short break at Sinuwa, we resume our trek towards Bamboo, passing through the rhododendron forest. After 6 hrs, we will reach our destination today. We will have lunch and take a rest. In the evening, we will visit the surroundings.

On this fourth day of the trek, the first part passes through the damp and cold bamboo forest. The trail gradually ascends with fewer steep sections until we move out in the sun with astounding views of the glacier river. Then a sheer rises via a drier forest before entering Hinku cave and then descends to a river before ascending to Deurali. The trail offers diverse flora and fauna, and the village scene is enchanting with rivers and waterfalls. Remaining time, enjoy the pictorial view, and take a rest.

On the fifth day of the trek, we climb gently through a river bed and then over a steep trail over to the mountainside. The journey from Deurali to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is slightly arduous superb majestic views of the Machhapuchhre along with Annapurna South, Mt. Hiunchuli,  Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna, which is a delightful adventure. After spending some time observing surroundings, we turn left and ascend smoothly towards Annapurna Base Camp. On the way, we can adore dramatic glimpses of the Himalayan horizon. 

After a few hour’s walk, we reach Annapurna Base Camp with a prodigious surrounding view of magnificent peaks. We then set camp there and spent the rest of the day there.

The sixth day is the backtrack day. With the early morning view mostly witnessing the phenomenal sunrise view from the Base Camp, we retrace back. Passing through the tiny settlements, we head towards Bamboo. 

Since today is a long day trek, we have lunch on the way and witness the overwhelming views. Passing the forested area with bamboo and rhododendron trees, we reach Bamboo. Long day trek must be tiring, so we put our stuff in the lodge and take a rest. 

On the seventh day of the trek, we backtrack on the same trail, which we took a few days ago from Chhomrong(ascending to Kuldighar pursued by a downhill to Chhomrong Khola and then walk on some stone steps). 

Once we reach Chhomrong, we take a break and then a few more steep descent, and we reach Jhinu Danda. Then, we walk downhill for a few minutes to enjoy the hot springs. If the weather is sunny, then we will have miraculous views on the way.

On the final day of the trek, we will trek to Matque, which is just three kilometers away, so it will take around 1-2 hours to walk. After that, we drive back to Pokhara, which will take 2-3 hrs. Once we reach Pokhara, we will check-in in the hotel and have lunch. If you have the energy then you can visit different places around Pokhara, we will suggest. Otherwise, take complete rest.

After long and tiring trekking all the way to Annapurna Base Camp and back, this day is a rest day. We will be spending this day roaming around the beautiful Pokhara city. The whole day guided sightseeing will be done on this day.

Since it’s a long day, we start a day early in the morning. After breakfast at the hotel, we drove back to Kathmandu on the same route which we took previously. After around 7 hrs, we reach the hotel and then check-in and relax.

Or if you fly back to Kathmandu it will take less time to reach there and you also get a chance to explore Kathmandu valley. If you are flying then you will take a morning flight at 7:45 am and by 10 am you will check-in in the hotel. So you will have enough time to do shopping or explore the valley or you can relax the whole day, it’s your choice.

In the evening, we will have a farewell dinner with the trekking crew with a guide and other staff. Enjoy the farewell dinner, and then have a sound sleep at the hotel of Kathmandu.
