Trek du camp de base de l'Annapurna

To get to Pokhara, take an early morning drive through the breathtaking Nepalese countryside. 

You will get the opportunity to take in the peace of Nepal's less-visited areas and catch a peek of the charming villages along the road. 

Pokhara is a picturesque and recreational destination where you may unwind next to the stunning Fewa Lake. After the exhausting trip, relax on your own and spend the night at the hotel.

We will meet and welcome the porter and guide team after breakfast. They will be there to support and help us the entire hike. 

After that, we'll depart from the resort town of Pokhara and travel an hour by car to our trek's beginning point, Nayapul. 

There are several stores in the little town of Nayapul that sell hiking gear. This is the place to complete your last-minute purchases because our trip will begin immediately after. 

After an hour of trekking, we arrive at Birethanti, a little settlement at the base of the Modi Khola Valley. We arrive at Tikhedhunga after traversing a few suspension bridges and ascending a fair number of stairs. Today's hike will take about four hours.

Following breakfast, we'll get ready for the fairly strenuous ascent, which begins with the sharp ascent on the stone stairs leading to Ulleri village. The journey offers breathtaking natural surroundings and a view of the Himalayas, albeit being quite difficult. 

The breathtaking experience of traveling through the magnificent rhododendron and oak woodlands will instill in you the fortitude to ascend these stairs. 

We will arrive in Ghorepani after walking for seven hours, stopping frequently along the way. Relax in the teahouse while taking in the breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges.

We will begin our 40-minute hike up Poon Hill (3210 m/10530 ft) before dawn to witness the magnificent sunrise. 

One of the highlights of our trek, Poon Hill promises breathtaking views of the rhododendron forest, an unhindered sunrise over the high Himalayas, and a panorama of the Annapurna, Dolpo, Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Machhapuchre (Fish Tail), and Manasalu from the far western Himalaya. 

We will then resume our trip to Tadapani after returning to Gorepani for breakfast. There are monuments, memorials, and, of course, prettier rhododendrons bloom along the walk.

This trek to Chhuile is another one that descends through an oak and rhododendron woodland. You have an excellent opportunity to see Fishtail, Himchuli, and the Annapurna South firsthand. continuing to hike down and cross the Modi River, with lunch breaks in the little settlements. 

The route to Chhumrong, the ABC entrance, is now straightforward and uncomplicated. The prettiest Gurung village. Enjoy a cozy and spotless stay at the guest house.

The trail descends to the Chhumrung River before climbing to Sinuwa. After then, the road flattens out till it approaches Khuldi Ghar before dropping down to Bamboo. Bamboo grows between thickets and large rocks. 

The quiet of the walk may be broken by the sound of monkeys swinging in the trees. Following lunch, the sounds of rivers and waterfalls will greet you as you make your way through a bamboo grove and into the Himalaya.

After breakfast, we will trek from Himalayas to the Annapurna Base Camp. We will follow the route of Modi Khola Glacier Valley, Hinku Cave, and the lodges of Deurali and enter the Annapurna Sanctuary, which leads us to our destination of ABC. In this trial, we will see the Annapurna glaciers, , Machhapuchhre Base Camp, Hiunchuli, Annapurna South to Annapurna I (8,097m/26,566ft), and Khangsar Kang, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhare.

Encircled by sheer cliffs and cascading waterfalls, the walk offers a serene environment. The descent is pleasant with serene natural beauty and wildlife sightings along the route, although it does need cautious navigation, particularly on steep areas. Donvan is a peaceful pause before resuming the descent.

The journey from Dovan to Jhinu Danda offers a variety of mild ascents and descents while passing through lush forests and picturesque scenery. 

Views open out and grow more vast as you descend into Jhinu Danda, offering a sight of the neighboring valleys and mountains.

On this, our last day of hiking, we leave Jhinu Danda and go for four to five hours over a track that is very easy to follow alongside the Modi Khola River, arriving at Birethanti Village. 

After that, we go back to Pokhara via Nayapul. The hike and travel today should take six to seven hours.

With many happy memories of Nepal and its distinctive culture and geography, we are returning today for a six- to seven-hour trip to Kathmandu. 

Today, you will be leaving Kathmandu for your next destination. If in case, the above itinerary doesn’t fit your schedule and you would like to customize it, then please let us know.
