Annapurna Base Camp Trek

A Himanshu Tours representative meets you at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and transfers you to the hotel, followed by a short trip briefing.

A 6–7 hour drive along the Trishuli and then Marshyangdi rivers, through local settlements, to Nepal's lake city. Free afternoon after check-in.

After breakfast in hotel we will drive to Matque village near Jhinu Danda. We will follow the trails of Modi Khola, we will drive to Matque village near Jhinu Danda and we trek upto the gateway of Annapurna Base Camp - Chhomrong. The trekking course is easy and flat until we reach Jhinu Danda (1,780 m). It is a steep uphill climb from Jhinu to Chhomrong, where we will stay overnight. Chhomrong is the largest Gurung village of the district. There are no alternative routes to reach Annapurna Base Camp without going past Chhomrong. Therefore, this village is also known as the gateway to Annapurna Base Camp. Overnight in Chomrong.

We will have an early breakfast and begin our journey to Dovan (2600 m). We will first take a downhill path to Chhomrong Khola (stream) - originating from Hiunchuli glaciers. From Chhomrong Khola, the path is uphill and difficult until we reach Sinuwa. The trail from Sinuwa is flat and easy for most part until we reach Bamboo (2,340 m), where we will have Lunch. From Bamboo, the trail begins to go uphill. There are no huge settlements after Chhomrong and all villages are thinly populated. We finally reach Dovan (2600m), where we rest for the night. Overnight in Dovan.

Today we will trek from Dovan (2,600m) through Deurali (3,230m) to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m) covers about 13 km of dramatic alpine landscape. Key highlights include passing the historic Hinku Cave, exiting the tree line into the wide glacial Modi Khola valley, and witnessing close-up views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna South

We will wake up early for the beautiful sunrise over Fishtail (6990 m) and Annapurna South (7220 m). After breakfast in guest house we will continue our trek to Annapurna Base Camp, which will be intense despite the short duration and moderate steepness. The difficulty is mainly due to thin air pressure as we move higher. Annapurna Base camp is a paradise, offering 360 degree view of the mountains in the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range to the trekkers. Overnight in Annapurna base camp.

We will wake up before the sun rises and enjoy the beautiful sight of sunrise over the mountains. The view will be breathtaking during the first hour of the morning. The view of sun ascending over Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Annapurna I, and Fishtail etc. is beautiful. We will return to our lodge, have breakfast and continue our trek towards Bamboo, where we will stay overnight. Overnight in Bamboo.

We will trek back to Jhinu Danda (meaning hill) - through Sinuwa and Chhomrong village. This is the same path we took on our way up. We will first reach a place called Khuldi Ghar. We will then go down to Chomrong River. Jhinu hill is at an hour of hike from Chomrong. Jhinu Danda is famous for its natural hot water springs. We will enjoy bathing at the hot springs. Two rivers, Modi Khola and Kyumun Khola, meet at Jhinu. Overnight in Jhinu Danda.

Today is our last day of trekking in the Annapurna sanctuary. The trail from Jhinu to Matque village is flat and easy for most part. We will cross the suspension bridge and arrive the point where our Jeep is waiting for us. It will drive us back to Pokhara (823 m), it takes about 2-3 hours to reach pokhara city. Overnight in Pokhara.

We will return back to Kathmandu today. The journey is along the same route - Prithvi Highway - that we took on our way to Pokhara from Kathmandu. You also have the option to travel by air but you will have to pay separately for it. Overnight in Kathmandu. Service Includes: Bed and Breakfast

You will return back to your destination with beautiful memories of trekking in the Annapurna. You also have the option to extend your stay by adding a new trip.
