About this trip

  The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a popular hiking and trekking route in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The trek takes you through stunning scenery of high mountains, forests, and traditional Nepalese villages. The trek usually takes about 7-10 days to complete, depending on the starting and ending point and the pace of the trekker. The trail is well-marked and well-traveled, but still requires a moderate level of fitness and some hiking experience.

The trek starts from the city of Pokhara and passes through several villages, including Chomrong, Dovan, and Machhapuchhre Base Camp, before reaching the Annapurna Base Camp at an altitude of 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). The Annapurna Base Camp offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range, including Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli.

Along the way, trekkers will have the opportunity to experience Nepalese culture and hospitality, as well as see local flora and fauna, including rhododendron forests, waterfalls, and various species of birds and animals.

It's important to note that the Annapurna region is prone to avalanches and landslides, so it's important to check weather and trail conditions before starting the trek. It's also recommended to trek with a licensed guide or porter for safety and support.


Annapurna Base Camp Trek Best Time

The best time to go for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These months are characterized by mild temperatures, clear skies, and stable weather conditions, making for comfortable and safe trekking conditions.

During the spring season, the weather is mild and the days are longer, providing plenty of time to explore the beautiful landscape and enjoy the views. The forests are in full bloom during this time, and the rhododendrons are particularly beautiful.

Similarly, during the autumn season, the weather is also mild and clear, and the skies are often very blue, making for great photo opportunities. The autumn season is also a great time to witness traditional festivals in the region, such as the Dashain and Tihar festivals.

It's important to note that while the weather is generally stable during these seasons, the Annapurna region can be subject to occasional weather fluctuations and sudden changes, so it's important to be prepared and to keep an eye on the weather forecast during your trek.

Overall, the best time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is during the spring and autumn seasons, but with proper preparation and gear, it's possible to trek in other seasons as well.


Annapurna Base Camp Trek Food and Accommodation

During the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you will have access to a variety of food and accommodation options along the trail. Accommodation options include basic teahouses and lodges, which offer simple rooms with a bed and a shared bathroom. These lodges are located in most of the villages along the trekking route, and they usually provide meals as well. Some of the lodges have hot showers available, but it's best to check in advance.

In terms of food, the teahouses and lodges serve a variety of local and western dishes, such as dal bhat (a traditional Nepalese dish), pasta, fried rice, and soups. You can also find snacks such as chocolate bars, biscuits, and tea or coffee. The food is usually fresh and cooked to order, and the portion sizes are generally generous to fuel you for the trek.

It's important to note that the higher you go in altitude, the more expensive the food and accommodations become. The price of food and accommodation also increases the further away you are from the starting point in Pokhara.

It's a good idea to carry some snacks and water with you during the trek, as well as a water purification system or tablets, as safe drinking water may not always be readily available.

while the food and accommodation options along the Annapurna Base Camp Trek are basic, they are sufficient for most trekkers and provide a good opportunity to experience local culture and hospitality.

Reviews

Our trek to ABC with Nepal Base Camp was a never to be forgotten experience. Prior to the trek, Sappa Lama was responsive in his emails and WhatsApps, and accomodated to all our needs and requests. My friend and I went on the trek with Jaya Ram Tamang, who was extremely amazing. He speaks well, makes communication easily, carries himself well, and is strong (as compared to us younger folks). Most importantly, he is extremely experienced and looked out for us every step of the way. We appreciate him a lot and if we were to come back to do EBC, we would want to again follow him. We would also like to thank our porter for the hard work he put carrying our things up. Thank you very much Nepal Base Camp Treks for making our experience a memorable one 👍🏻

Firstly would like to thank Mr Sappa Lama for making my dream trip a success! I had a warm welcome and a very cultural farewell. Also would like to thank my guide Raj Kumar and also my porter Buthi. Both of them were very helpful and Raj was very informative. Very adventurous trip, fantastic views of snow capped mountains. As for the trek, it was little difficult at times when walking on the rocks and going up, plus going down too (in the rain). So much excitement when we reached EBC and the same when able to view Mt. Everest from Kala Pattar. On the other hand due to bad weather and landslides my trip was delayed by 3 days (2 days in Kathmandu and 1 day in Lukla). Nevertheless how difficult is was, every moment was enjoyable with lots of memories. Unforgettable, Superb trip, full of memories!!!
