Trip Overview
Our Annapurna Base Camp (Sanctuary) Trek is an incredible adventure through Nepal’s Himalayas, mixing culture, nature, and jaw-dropping mountain views. Starting in Kathmandu, you’ll take a scenic drive to Pokhara, then hike through lush green farms, charming Gurung villages, and forests bursting with colorful rhododendrons. Perfect for anyone with a decent fitness level, the trek takes you step-by-step higher, letting your body adjust while you soak in local culture. The grand finale? Reaching Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m), a ring of towering peaks that feels like standing in the heart of the mountains. With cozy teahouses, tasty meals, and days that challenge without overwhelming, this trip is your perfect first taste of Nepal’s legendary trails.
Your journey kicks off in Kathmandu, where a welcome dinner introduces you to Nepal’s flavors and hospitality. Day 2 is a relaxed drive to Pokhara, passing rolling hills and rivers—keep your camera ready! By Day 3, the real fun begins: a short drive to Jhinu Danda, followed by a hike to Chhomrong village. This first taste of trekking winds past waterfalls, swaying bridges, and terraced fields, with the snowy peaks of Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain) and Annapurna South peeking through the clouds. You’ll settle into the rhythm of life on the trail, sleeping in friendly teahouses and waking up to mountain air.
From Chhomrong, the trail dips into the Modi River Valley, where bamboo forests and icy streams guide you to Bamboo and Deurali. As you climb higher, the landscape shifts to rugged alpine terrain, and the air gets crisper. The excitement builds as you reach Machapuchare Base Camp, where the mighty Fishtail Mountain looms overhead. Then comes the big moment: Annapurna Base Camp. Surrounded by giants like Annapurna I (8,091m), you’ll watch the sunrise paint the snow in golden light—a view you’ll never forget. After soaking it all in, you’ll trek back down to Bamboo, retracing your steps with fresh eyes and a full heart.
The final days let you unwind. A downhill hike to Jhinu Danda rewards you with natural hot springs—dip your tired legs into the warm waters and let the mountain magic sink in. Then, it’s back to Pokhara and Kathmandu by road, where you’ll swap stories and photos, marveling at how much you’ve seen: from terraced farms and waterfalls to icy peaks and warm village smiles. This trek isn’t just about the destination—it’s about every step, every laugh, and every “wow” moment along the way. Whether you’re a first-time trekker or a seasoned hiker, the ABC Trek is a bucket-list journey that shows off Nepal’s wild beauty and big-hearted culture.

Awesome trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, Advanced Adventure made it all the most memorable!
Doing the ABC trek in Nepal was awesome and Advanced Adventures made it all the more memorable! Advanced Adventures has been very hospitable to us throughout our entire trip!
We were very impressed when Chet took time off to personally brief us on the itinerary upon our arrival and hosting us a farewell dinner before our departure. Price was very affordable and itinerary suited us very well, and provided us the flexibility to spend an extra day in Pohkara. We were also impressed with Chet’s ability to arrange for us to return from Pohkara to Kathmandu by flight despite the strikes.
We also had the pleasure of having Ram as a very experienced, responsible and friendly guide took good care of us during the ABC trek. He even went the extra mile to bring us around Pohkara and Kathmandu even after we completed the ABC trek.
We definitely recommend others to consider signing up with Advanced Adventures (http://www.advadventures.com/) on the adventure of a lifetime!
