Annapurna Base Camp Trek famously known as the 'ABC Trek' is one of the most popular and renowned trekking trails which is listed as the best in Nepal by different travel sites. Every year, thousands of trekkers enjoy this panoramic trail, including a vast area.

Mount Annapurna (8091M), the 10th highest Himalayas in the world, had the first human step on the summit in 1950 AD led by the French expedition team Maurice Herzog and the trek will take you to the Base Camp.

Like other treks in the  Annapurna region, Annapurna Base Camp Trek begins from Pokhara, the paradise of Nepal and famously known as the ‘City of the Lake’.

This trek passes through cascading waterfalls, beautiful villages, rivers, suspension bridges, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron forests, and hearth-touching mountain views before reaching the mighty Mt. Annapurna Base Camp.

Blessed with diverse vegetation, flora, and fauna, Annapurna is the only region in Nepal where different ethnic group settles in different areas and is extended to the border of Tibet. However, some areas are restricted and need special permits to trek in.

Overall, it is a 360 panoramic view, as the journey begins from the hill towards the mountain encountering nature with the different ethnical people residing beneath the massif Himalayas.

This 14-day itinerary is mainly crafted for lovers of nature who would like to trek to the base camp of Mt. Annapurna in a relaxing way. However, this trek can be customized if you are restricted with time.

Discover Altitude has a specially designed Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Itinerary with frequent field visits by our professional staff to make sure the program goes according to the itinerary mentioned below.

For the convenience of our clients minute detailed itinerary, cost, highlights, pictures, and the map have been provided. As this is a moderate trek below the Himalayas, trekking is possible throughout the year.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Highlights:

  • A must-to-do trek with magnificent views and a tranquil forest.
  • Short trek to the base camp of the 10th highest mountain.
  • Splendid views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
  • Trek continues with nature and local culture.
  • Sublime trek, with pious spiritualism.
  • Natural hot springs along the trek for refreshment.
  • Massive view of the Annapurna Mountain.
  • An eco-friendly trek meeting nature with culture in a pure environment, unspoiled by modernism.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Cost

The cost of Annapurna Base Camp is determined by different factors. Firstly, the location of the trek, Annapurna Base Camp lies in the Annapurna region of Nepal and can be trekked only from Pokhara.

Now, Pokhara is almost 200 KM from the main city of Kathmandu. Trekkers need to drive (8-9 hours) or take a short flight to Pokhara (30 minutes). However, for flight, weather plays a vital role.

Upon reaching Pokhara, it will take another hour and a half drive to Naya Pul, the starting point of the Base Camp of Mount Annapurna and the trek can be ended at the starting point or in Kade or Phedi.

Now, the time duration for the trek, Annapurna Trek to the Base Camp can be done in multiple ways. Starting point can be either Kathmandu or Pokhara, this point also makes a difference to the cost of Annapurna Base Camp.

Apart from this, the size of the group, porter, accommodation, food, etc., also plays a vital role in determining the cost of the Annapurna trek.

On average we can say, Annapurna Base Camp Trek will cost between 650- 1200 USD depending upon the length and other services taken.

How long is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the only trekking trail in Nepal that can be customized easily, as the lower areas are populated and have drivable roads. Thus, trekkers can easily drive to a day-long trail. This minimizes the number of days (both ways).

Apart from this, you can make a round through Ghorepani-Poonhill or can directly start through Ghandruk. However, for first-time trekkers trekking through Ghorepani will be an asset. This helps your body to acclimatize and will help you explore more of the areas.

Thus, the required number of days for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek depends upon the starting point and the ending point. If you make Pokhara the starting and ending point for the Annapurna Trek, you can complete Annapurna Base Camp in between 7-9 days in a more relaxing and comfortable way.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Difficulty

Annapurna is a moderate trek to the base of Mount Annapurna which is the 8th highest mountain in the world. Although this is higher, the base camp will be only 4130 Meters. Apart from this, trekkers will have a choice to stay overnight whether in Annapurna Base Camp (4130M) or Macchapuchhre Base Camp (3700M).

Trekking to the base camp of Annapurna will be moderate with some ascending and descending, through the village, farmland, and forest. This will be a relaxing trek, around 6 hours of hiking every day covering 10 KM approximately.

Moreover, you will have the option to drive to some places through the same hiking trail.

Best Time to do Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna is a region where it gets a sufficient amount of rainfall and Pokhara (area) is the place that receives the highest amount of rainfall every year.

As the entire trek to the base camp of Annapurna starts and ends in Pokhara, we recommend trekkers, avoid the rainy season for this trek.

Now the question is when the best time is for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Winter, autumn, and spring are the best time for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. This in a combined way will be September (Mid), October, November, December, January, February, March, April, and May.

June July and August are monsoons and will receive rainfall, this makes the entire trek slippery, and muddy and will bother you with frequent short rainfall.

Apart from these, during the monsoon, there will be insects and leeches on the trail and the view of the mountain will not be praiseworthy.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Preparation

Although Annapurna Base Camp Trek is low altitude trek as compared to other treks in Nepal, still a bit of training is recommended. This should involve exercise related to the muscles of your leg, going up and down will be involved in the entire trek. So make sure you can hike approximately 6 hours per day with a small backpack.

This will help a lot for first-time trekkers, regular exercise doers don’t need to worry about Annapurna Trek.

14 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek Distance and Altitude

Trek distance to Annapurna Base Camp is determined through the itinerary trekkers follow. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the popular and diverse treks because there are multiple ways to reach the base camp of Mount Annapurna.

However, we can assume that trekking through the classical way to the Annapurna Base Camp will be 115 KM approximately. This will take 7-10 days, depending upon the trail one prefer to follow.

However, if trekkers follow a short trail, the distance covered will drastically decline between 80- 90 KM. Here, this can be done taking a jeep drive to the accessible destination to avoid the long trail.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Itinerary

Picking up the right itinerary is one of the main correspondence for any achievement in the Himalayan trek, and Annapurna Base Camp is not an exceptional one. Multiple trails can lead you to the Base Camp of Annapurna (7-Day).

However, the right itinerary will play a vital role. Now how to select the right itinerary for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek (10-Day), firstly you need to check your physical fitness level and then make sure your trek is within the comfortable days.

Next is to make sure you have at least a reserve day (if you are a first-time trekker) which can be used to extend in times of difficulty. This will give you a good boost while trekking.

Finally, make sure you are flexible with the trekking itinerary, it should not be a Holy text which can’t be modified. As you trek you can modify your itinerary, as your body suggests.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Altitude

Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp will be lower in terms of altitude compared to other popular base camp treks. With certain ups and downs with the altitude, you will reach the highest point of 4130 M at the Base camp.

Your trek will start from Pokhara (850M), trekking through the villages, forest, and farmland, you will gain altitude and loss in some places. This will help your body to acclimatize and finally, you will reach Annapurna Base Camp (4130M).

However, for those who are worried about the altitude, Annapurna Trek has one exceptional benefit. That is, to choose where to spend the highest overnight stay.

Trekkers can spend the final night at the base camp (4130M) or Machhapuchere Base Camp (3700M) and the next day hike an hour and a half to explore the Base Camp. This will be a good start for first-time trekkers as well.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Location

Annapurna Base Camp is situated in the Annapurna Village Development Committee of Kaski district in Gandaki Province of Nepal. This is just 40 KM to the north of Pokhara.

The only way to trek to the Annapurna base Camp is through Pokhara. Trekkers need to take a short flight (30 minutes) or drive from Kathmandu (8 hours). This will be a 200 KM journey one way from the capital Kathmandu.

Upon reaching Pokhara, take an hour-and-a-half drive to Nayapul, the classical starting point of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. If you take a flight, you can start the trek on the same day. However, while driving from Kathmandu trekkers need to spend a night in Pokhara and start the trek the very next day.

This is the best way to get to the Annapurna Base Camp. Moreover, you can start the trek through Pothana or Ghandruk. This will be another optional choice.
