Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Chitwan National Park - 14 Days

Driving to Nayapul from Pokhara, the trek begins through the terraced hillside. It is bound within the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). A 3-hour trek leads you to Tikhedhunga, passing the paddy fields and enjoying the scenery of the Bhurungdi Khola. Overnight at lodge. 

The trek begins by ascending the steep uphill trail for about a couple of hours to Ulleri. Then it goes through the rhododendron forest. After having lunch at Banthanti, the trail leads gradually to Ghorepani, a Magar dominated village, which is located at the middle of the rhododendron forest. Overnight at lodge.

Wake up to catch the early morning sunrise view over the snow capped Himalayas. It’s extremely breathtaking and the views of Annapurna, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Fishtail and the surrounding strike you. Hiking down to Ghorepani, have a breakfast and trek further to Tadapani Via Deurali and a lunch place at Banthanti. Overnight at lodge. 

The trail is steep downhill from Tadapani, which leads you through the rhododendron forest. Crossing the stream, you climb to the next green hill ridge. Chhomrung is located on the wonderful terraced hillside, which is a large Gurung village. Overnight at lodge.

Following the river bank and with a continual up and down, you trek further to Himalaya from Chhomrung. On the way, you cross the landslide area and the rhododendron forest. The stone paved trail is easy to deal with but tiresome. We reach to the juncture of two streams, which is called Dovan and we take a rest. Overnight at lodge. 

The spectacular views of the Annapurna chain can be seen perfectly. Then, trek to the Annapurna base camp, which is located at 4130 meters altitude, and is in the shape of a natural amphitheater. The Himalayan white peaks can be observed stunningly. Overnight at lodge.

It’s a continual climb down from Bamboo to Jhunu, including a few uphill sections.

Natural hot spring is regarded as the best cure for various skin diseases. Overnight at lodge. 

The trail descends steeply through forests to the village of Ghandruk where you will arrive around noon.
