Annapurna Base Camp Trek Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a great way to experience the beauty of the mountains up close. It starts and ends in Pokhara, and the base camp situated at an altitude of 4,110 meters. Surrounded by Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, and Singachuli, it's a perfect spot for anyone who loves the Himalayas.
The journey begins with a two-hour jeep ride from Pokhara, crossing a new bridge. The swinging bridge is quite exciting to cross and offers plenty of opportunities for stunning photos. After another two hours of uphill trekking, you'll reach the charming Gurung village of Chomrong, where you can enjoy cleanliness, comfort, and delicious food. From here, you can see the peak of the fishtail mountain.
After a refreshing morning breakfast, the trek continues with a steady climb through Sinuwa- Bamboo- Dovab- Deurali- ABC. As you ascend, the altitude increases, making breathing a bit harder. Trekking gets a bit tougher as you reach higher altitudes. After reaching Machhapuchhre Base Camp, you can see all four Himalayan peaks up close. Although the trail becomes easier, altitude still poses a challenge. After about 2 hours of trekking, you finally arrive at Annapurna Base Camp, your ultimate destination. During sunset, the mountains look enchanting, bathed in golden light. After sunset, they turn white again, creating a serene atmosphere. From here, you can see the Annapurna glacier to the northwest and admire the beauty of Annapurna.
On the other side, the Annapurna Himalayan river looks intimidating as it cuts through the shores, so be cautious. The following morning is a big day of our trekking. Waking up early to watch the sunrise over the Himalayas fills your heart with joy. After capturing the breathtaking sunrise and scenery, say goodbye to Annapurna base camp trek and  start the return journey  after breakfast.

Best Season to Annapurna Base Camp trek

The Annapurna Base Camp trek can be done throughout the year. However, the spring and autumn seasons are considered the best time with clear sky. During the spring season, the sky is clear, and the surroundings become colorful with the blossoming of greenery and rhododendron flowers, making it even more romantic. The temperature is moderate, neither too hot nor too cold, making it suitable for trekking. During this time, the temperature at Annapurna Base Camp ranges from around 10 to 20 degrees Celsius in a daylight. The night could drop below zero.
Similarly, another ideal season is autumn. During this time, although there might be occasional rainfall, the sky remains mostly clear, and the temperature is not excessively cold. The flowers are still in bloom, adding color to the villages, making it a festive atmosphere.
However, in winter (dec- feb), Annapurna Base Camp experiences very cold, with temperatures ranging from 5 to 15 degrees during the day and dropping to as low as -10 to -15 degrees at night. Snowfall is also a possibility, which can hinder the trekking path and pose risks of avalanches in some areas. Wearing warm clothing and being cautious becomes essential for trekkers during this time.
Even during the monsoon season (Jun - Sept), there is a risk of landslides and slippery trails due to heavy rainfall. Therefore, it's necessary to be well-prepared and cautious. Despite the challenges, with proper gear and precautions, trekking can still be enjoyable. Additionally, during the monsoon, leeches might be present on the trail, and trail may become muddy, requiring extra care and preparedness from the trekkers.

Difficulty and Guide in Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp trek can be tough even when the weather is good and not too bad when it's bad. For new trekkers, it's not easy.

Guest house and food in Annapurna Base camp trail

Food and a place to stay are really important when you are doing multiple days trek. Along the Annapurna base camp trekking trail, you'll find nice places to stay and tasty food to eat. The local lodge management committee and the Annapurna Conservation Project work together to make sure everything is top-notch. They even have menus so you can pick what you want to eat. You can enjoy your favorite dishes there. But, just so you know, you won't find meat in the higher areas. And these days, some villages have coffee and bakeries too. Don't worry if you don't eat meat; there will be vegetarian options. If you have any food allergies, please tell us beforehand. We'll make sure everything is sorted out for you.
On this route, you can find houses with nice, clean rooms for accommodation. However, during busy times, getting a private room at the Annapurna Base Camp can be challenging. Sometimes, you might even have to sleep in dining rooms where people also eat. But we always strive to arrange a private room for our trekkers.

  • If you have limited time, you can fly back by Heli from Annapurna base camp .That should be confirmed in advance as we need permission.
