Annapurna Base Camp Trek- Cost, Distance, Itinerary, In Nepal

Following our arrival in Kathmandu, a representative from Himalayan Glacier will meet us at the airport and transport us to our accommodation. We may rest or visit the Himalayan Glacier's office in the afternoon. A welcome supper will be served by Himalayan Glacier in the evening. You will be served real Nepalese cuisine for supper, which will provide you with an introduction to the country's culinary culture. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

We fly to Pokhara, a lovely lake city, early in the morning and have spectacular views of the Himalayas from the right side of our plane. We drive to Naya Pul (1 hour and 20 minutes) after arriving at Pokhara airport and begin the hike. We trek from Birethanti to Ghandruk, a lovely settlement dominated by the Gurung community. Today, if time allows, we will also visit the Gurung museum. Ghandruk is where you'll spend the night.

We ascend up to Kimrungdanda for about an hour at this point. We can see Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre), and Ganggapurna along the way. The Kampong Khola is reached after a steep descent. We drop for a while after another hard ascent from Kimrong Khola to Chere Danda, and then it's an easy trek to Chhomrong. Chhomrong is a lovely town nestled in the shadow of the mighty Annapurna. In Chhomrong, spend the night.

We cross the bridge over Chhomrong Khola after descending 2500 stone steps. Sinuwa is an uphill trek from here. After that, we walk through a magnificent forest to Kuldihar, then downhill to Bamboo. In Bamboo for the night.

We continue through a damp and cold bamboo jungle before gradually ascending with a few difficult stretches. The forest only opens up after we arrive at Himalaya Hotel, and we are once again out in the sun, with breathtaking views of the glacial river below. Before reaching Hinku Cave, there is a difficult walk up through a much drier forest. The trail drops closer to the river from here before going back up to Deurali, the most spectacular part of the day. The flora is sparser, allowing for breathtaking vistas of the valley, the river below, and the steep rock-face cliffs above, complete with bands of wispy waterfalls. Deurali is where you'll spend the night.

Climb gradually via a riverbed before ascending to the mountainside through a hard trail. The trek from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is difficult. We get fantastic views of the majestic Machhapuchhre as well as Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna from Machhapuchhre base camp, which is a truly gratifying experience. On our way to ABC, the foliage fades and the trail expands as we enter the Annapurna sanctuary. From here, we get spectacular views of Annapurna's near-vertical south face, which towers above us. The sanctuary boasts a stunning 360-degree panorama with nothing blocking it. We get to enjoy stunning views of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and other peaks from the base camp once more. Annapurna Base Camp is where you'll spend the night.

We retrace our travels back to Bamboo from the Annapurna base camp. The hike today is downhill, so it shouldn't be too challenging. Aside from that, we'll always have the company of the magnificent scenery to cheer us up. In Bamboo for the night.

It's an uphill climb from Bamboo to Kuldighar, then a downhill stroll to Chhomrong Khola. Then we make our way to Chhomrong via the stone steps. After that, the trail descends to Jhinu Danda, where we will spend the night. Today we will have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the hot springs, which are only a 15-20 minute downhill stroll from Jhinu Danda. Jhinu Danda is where you'll spend the night.

We get to see the spectacular hill landscape of western Nepal on our route to Naya Pul from Jhinu Danda. On the way, we stop for lunch. Our hike will come to a close in Naya Pul, where we will board our van for Pokhara. Pokhara is where you'll spend the night.

*If the road connecting Jhinu Danda and Naya Pul is completed, another option is to drive from Jhinu Danda to Pokhara.

In the afternoon, we fly to Kathmandu. We will be escorted to our hotel after arrival in Kathmandu. We take it easy for the rest of the day, catching up on some last-minute shopping or exploring any monuments we missed on our first day in Kathmandu. In the evening, we will enjoy a farewell meal to commemorate the successful conclusion of our voyage. In Kathmandu, spend the night.

Today is the last day of our Nepalese adventure! We'll be dropped off at the airport by a Himalayan Glacier representative about 3 hours before our flight. We'll have plenty of time on the way home to plan our future excursion in Nepal's gorgeous land.
