Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 15 Days

Welcoming at airport and transfer to your Hotel.

Free day for final trekking preparation and explore the Kathmandu valley

Kathmandu to Pokhara by tourist bus. Time to take in the sights of Pokhara and its stunning setting by Phewa Lake.

The actual trekking will begins from Nayapul after 1.30 minute of drive and leads to beautiful town Birethanti where we will register our TIMS Card and Annapurna conservation area permit. Then we will take a left and head to Ulleri village passing by some waterfalls, lush jungle, local settlement and beautiful terrace. We reach Ulleri after ascending 2 hrs steep up from Tikhedhunga which rewards us by amazing scenery of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

After having breakfast, we will still continue ascending towards to Banthanti then the trail leads through massive forest, some waterfalls and reach at Ghorepani. It is situated at the open place which offers magnificent mountain vistas including above 8000m peaks Dhaulagiri 8167m and Annapurna first 8091m. If you are trekking in spring then you will have great opportunity of exploring Nepalese national flower Rhododendron.

The day's trekking provides one of the journey's major highlights, a visit to Poon Hill to take in one of the most panoramic vistas in the Himalayas, with matchless views of Dhaulagiri and the Annapurna massif at sunrise. After a suitable pause to savor the awe-inspiring scenery the trek continues on towards Tadapani along one of the most superb trails in Nepal, with the immediacy of lush forests and abundant wildlife on either side or the soaring peaks in the background serving as an impossibly picturesque backdrop.

From scenic Tadapani the trail descends to another gossamer-like suspension bridge that straddles the deep gorge near the village of Gurjung, then heads down towards Chhomrong, one of the most scenically captivating Gurung villages in the region, with a pretty stone-paved trail leading the way in and Annapurna South, Hiuchuli, and fishtail looming up in the background.

From Chhomrong the trail begins heading to Annapurna Base Camp in earnest, winding through patches of jungle to Dovan.

The trek from Dovan to Deurali takes the hiker ever closer to the base camp, ascending 600 meters into alpine terrain, the Annapurna range looming larger with each passing hour on the trail.

The most challenging day on the trek waits as the path ascends steadily through to the legendary base camp made famous by the likes of Herzog, Bonnington and Messner. The glorious panoramas and close-up of the Annapurna massif and the nearby glacier are ample reward for the long journey.

The return journey to Bamboo descends by 1800 meters and offers a refreshing perspective on the trail.

After nine days on the trail nothing could seem more restful for tired limbs than the opportunity to ease into the natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda, one of the trek's more delightful bonuses.

The final day of the trek, winding through peaceful farmlands and villages on the way back to Siwai and the return transportation to Pokhara.

A long day's drive by bus that provides numerous scenic opportunities - and thrills - along the way.

Farewell and drop-off at the airport, or the opportunity to join another of our programs.
