9 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Our representative will pick you up from the airport with put a garland on your neck which traditionally means you are welcome. Then you will be driven to the hotel. After refresh, you will be briefed either hotel or at our office for your trip. At last, if you will have time you can roam around at Thamel market.

Drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara by Tourist Bus. Pokhara is located about 200 km west of Kathmandu and the tourist coach takes about 7 hours to get there. The drive mostly follows along the Trishuli River side enjoying the view of landscapes. In the Evening you may take short sightseeing around lakeside Pokhara.

Early morning after breakfast we drive to Matque 3 hours by Jeep and start the trek. We start our trek by crossing Modi Khola’s longest suspension bridge to Jhino, about 1 hour from the last bus stop. From Jhino steeply up to beautiful village Chhomromg from where you can see the Annapurna south and Himachuli very near.

The trail out of Chhomrong descends via 2500 stone steps and crosses the Chhomrong Khola on a swaying suspension bridge. It is an uphill climb to Sinuwa. Next, we pass through a beautiful forest to Kuldihar followed by an easy downhill walk to Bamboo. We pass through the bamboo forest which is damp and cold then ascend steadily with fewer steep sections. It is only after reaching Himalaya Hotel.

It is a steep climb through a much drier forest before reaching Hinku Cave. From here we can see the trail drop closer to the river before climbing again to Deurali, the most scenic stretch of the day. The vegetation is sparser, allowing magical views of the valley, the river below, and the sheer rock face cliffs above with bands of wispy waterfalls. Climb gently through a river bed then over a steep trail to the mountainside. The hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is somewhat strenuous.

From Machhapuchhre base camp, we get excellent views of the majestic Machhapuchhre along with Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli and Gangapurna which is certainly a rewarding experience. The vegetation disappears on our way to ABC and the path widens as we enter the Annapurna sanctuary. From here, we get sensational views of the near-vertical south face of Annapurna towering above us. The cover boasts of a dynamic view without anything impeding the 360-degree panorama. From the base camp we again get to savour mesmerizing views of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna south, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli and other peaks.

After a nice sunrise view at ABC, we retrace our steps to Bamboo. Today’s trek is downhill so it shouldn’t be very difficult. Besides, we will always have the company of the extraordinary landscape to cheer us up.

From Bamboo, it is an uphill trek to Kuldighar followed by a downhill walk to Chhomrong Khola. Then we climb the stone steps to Chhomrong. The trail then descends to JhinuDanda for overnight.

We begin our walk from Jhinu danda to Matque village just opposite of Jhino after we take a jeep to Pokhara. The drive will take 3 hours. Upon arrival in Pokhara we will have an opportunity to visit some more places around the lake city until the evening. A post trekking massage is always a great way to relax.

After a quality time in Pokhara, you will make a beeline for Kathmandu today. After breakfast, you will be taken to your transport and the voyage back to Kathmandu is a similar course you came into Pokhara. The lengthy drive can be difficult to head out back because of your long trekking adventure.

On the departure day, we will send you to Tribhuwan Internation Airport with the certification of completion.
