Not happy with our itinerary?
Let’s create a custom trip just for you. It takes only 2 to 3 minutes.
Drive to Hile & Trek to Ghorepani
We begin our day with a scenic 3-hour drive from Pokhara to Hile, the starting point of our trekking adventure toward Annapurna Base Camp. From Hile, we follow the trail through Tikhedhunga and conquer the famous Ulleri stone staircases (around 3,300 steps)—a rewarding ascent that opens up into stunning valley views. Continuing past Banthanti, our trail winds through lush rhododendron and oak forests before arriving at the vibrant mountain village of Ghorepani.
Ghorepani to Tadapani via Poon Hill
Today, we will visit Poon Hill for the sunrise experience. We should wake up early in the morning and get ready to hike Poon Hill, which takes about 2 hours. After watching the sunrise from Poon Hill, we will return to Ghorepani and trek to Tadapani. It takes about 4 to 5 hours from Ghorepani to reach Tadapani by walking.
Tadapani to Sinuwa
The trekking trail from Tadapani to Chuile passes through a forest. After descending for approximately 55 minutes from Chuile, you’ll arrive in Kimrung Khola. From there, you’ll cross a suspension bridge and continue trekking towards Gurjung. It takes roughly 50 minutes to reach Gurjung from Kimrung Khola. After a further 2 to 3 hours’ walk from Gurjung, you’ll reach Chhomrong Village. Around an hour and a half’s further walk from Chhomrong, you’ll reach Sinuwa, where you will stay overnight at a teahouse.
Sinuwa to Deurali
Upon crossing Sinuwa, we will walk through rhododendron and bamboo forests. On the way, we’ll get a glimpse of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre, but more often, we’ll be under the shade of the green forests. Upon arrival at Kuldighar, we’ll take a short break and descend the steep stone staircase heading to Bamboo. From there, we will continuously ascend to Deurali through the forests. At Dovan, we’ll have lunch.
Trek from Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp
After walking for about 20–25 minutes from Deurali, there is an avalanche area that can be bypassed by taking an alternate route. The valley widens after Deurali and the trail becomes less steep than before. A further 2 to 3 hours of hiking will bring you to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC), located at 3,700m.
After lunch in MBC, you will continue to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) at 4,130m — about a 2-hour hike from MBC. From ABC, you will have stunning views of the Annapurna range, including Annapurna I, the tenth highest mountain in the world.
ABC to Bamboo
On this day, after watching sunrise from Base Camp, we’ll start our day with breakfast. After relaxing for a while, we’ll check out of ABC and retrace our steps back to Bamboo, using the same trail we used on the way up. It takes approximately 7 to 8 hours to travel from ABC to Bamboo.
Bamboo to Jhinu
Around a 2-hour walk from Bamboo, we will reach Sinuwa Village. From Sinuwa, we will descend to the Chhomrong River and then ascend to Chhomrong Village, before a further 1-hour walk to Jhinu. We will store our backpacks at the hotel and descend to the bank of the Modi River for a soak in the hot springs.
The hot spring sits on the bank of the Modi River, about 30 minutes from Jhinu. Once we are done relaxing, we will retrace our steps back to Jhinu for the overnight stay.
Trek to Siwai & Drive to Pokhara
On the last day of the trek, we’ll have a short trek down to Siwai. From Siwai, we will catch a jeep or cab to Pokhara (depending on group size). The walk takes 3 to 4 hours and the jeep/cab ride from Siwai to Pokhara takes about 2 to 3 hours. Upon reaching your hotel in Pokhara, our 8-day ABC Trek concludes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before heading to Annapurna Base Camp.
How difficult is ABC trek?
It is moderately difficult trekking because the maximum elevation of the journey is 4,130m above sea level. So it’s not high-altitude trekking and the total distance of the trek is approximately 115km. ABC hike is 10–15km (5 to 6 hours) each day walking.
How many days do we need for the trek?
5 to 8 days. The duration of this hike ranges from 5 to 8 days depending on starting and ending points.

If you’re limited on time, a 5 to 7 day short trek from/to Pokhara is also available.
How to get there and away?
Kathmandu is the starting point and Pokhara is the ending point of ABC hiking. You can fly Kathmandu to Pokhara (25 minutes), then drive to the trekking starting point Nayapul. Alternatively, you can drive directly from Kathmandu to Nayapul, which takes about 9–10 hours by private vehicle, tourist bus, or local bus.
Is Annapurna Base Camp dangerous? Is it safe to trek?
Some parts are dangerous but not all. From Dovan to Fishtail Base Camp, there are avalanche-prone areas — particularly active from January to May. However, if you trek with a licensed guide/porter, it is a safe journey. Guides know the risky sections and how to cross them safely.
Is Annapurna Base Camp the same as Everest Base Camp?
Not at all. Everest Base Camp (5,364m) is a challenging trek requiring prior hiking experience and physical conditioning. Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) is moderately difficult and suitable for fit beginners. ABC is also shorter in duration and requires less preparation than the EBC trek.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Reviews
Amazing Annapurna Base Camp trek
We had an absolutely amazing experience. The scenery was breathtaking and the whole trek was very well organized. Our guide and porter were both fantastic – friendly, helpful and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nepal and the Himalayas completely stole my heart, and I’d definitely love to come back for another trek! Highly recommended!
Higly recommended!
We had an amazing experience with Base Camp Hike during our Annapurna Base Camp Trek. From the very beginning, Jayaram was extremely helpful and organized everything perfectly. Communication was easy and he was always available whenever we needed anything.
Our guide Man Bahadur and porter Mingma were absolutely fantastic. They were both professional, kind and reliable, and we always felt well taken care of. Man Bahadur explained everything we wanted to know, but at the same time understood that we also enjoyed having some peaceful time to simply enjoy the mountains and scenery. Mingma was incredibly fast, helpful and always in a good mood.
The trek itself was beautiful and everything went smoothly. We also really appreciated their flexibility when we decided to return to Pokhara one day earlier, especially because of my friend’s sore leg.
We are extremely happy with our experience and would definitely choose Base Camp Hike again. In fact, when we return to Nepal for our dream Manaslu Circuit trek, we would love to trek with Man Bahadur and Mingma again.
Thank you so much to Jayaram, Man Bahadur and Mingma for an unforgettable week in the Himalayas! 🙏❤️
Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Had the loveliest time trekking to ABC with the team at Base Camp Hike!
We had the loveliest time trekking to ABC with the team at Base Camp Hike! Pre-trip communication with Jayaram was really smooth and he was super helpful with all the arrangements and the many questions I had.
Our guide Navaraj (Mr Nepal) and porter Arun were the best duo! They made the whole trip so fun and were incredibly hospitable throughout. They were always happy to accommodate our requests and took such good care of us, especially since we were first time hikers.
Big shoutout to the whole team! Would definitely recommend Base Camp Hike to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced agency for their trekking adventures in Nepal. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience! 🫶
Had an amazing trip to ABC with Base Camp Hike!
We’re beginner trekkers and honestly had quite a lot of concerns before the trip because we didn’t really know what to expect. The team was really accommodating and planned a longer itinerary for us so we could take our time and get used to the altitude, which we really appreciated.
Our guide, Mr. Nepal, took really good care of us throughout the whole trip. He was always checking in on us, making sure we were okay and comfortable, and keeping an eye on how we were handling the altitude. He also takes amazing photos and videos throughout the hike, so we didn’t have to worry about missing out on capturing all the beautiful moments and views!Even when it was raining and we were completely exhausted, he would always crack jokes and somehow lift our spirits
Also want to give a special mention to our porter, who worked so hard carrying all our stuff throughout the trek. One of my favourite things was that every night, he would prepare fruits with Oreos for us and somehow present them differently each time .Such a small thing but it really made our evenings!
Overall, we had such a great experience and felt really well taken care of throughout the trek. Would definitely recommend Base Camp Hike to my friends if they’re looking to do a trek in Nepal! ❤️🏔️
Was a bit apprehensive to do this hike, Im glad I chose Base Camp Hike as they were just supportive
everything great! Mr Nepal knows it all! Everyone at Base Camp Hike auper nice, patient, you can’t ask too many questions, they’ll answer them all, accommodating, and they make sure to keep you safe.
