The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of Nepal’s most iconic and rewarding trekking experiences, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and moderate adventure. This 14-day journey begins in Kathmandu, where you’ll explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Bhaktapur Durbar Square—setting the stage for the spiritual and cultural richness of Nepal.
From Kathmandu, we drive to Pokhara, a picturesque lakeside city known for its stunning views and relaxed atmosphere. After a scenic drive to Hile, your trek begins. The trail ascends through terraced farmlands, charming Gurung and Magar villages, and dense rhododendron and bamboo forests. You’ll pass through popular stops like Ulleri, Ghorepani (famous for its sunrise hike to Poon Hill), Tadapani, and Chhomrong, each offering unique landscapes and authentic Himalayan hospitality.
As you gain elevation, the scenery transforms, revealing panoramic views of towering peaks such as Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), and Hiunchuli (6,441 m). The trek culminates at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m), also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, where you’ll be surrounded by a breathtaking amphitheater of snow-capped mountains.
After soaking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas, the descent begins through the same picturesque trails, with a relaxing stop at the natural hot springs in Jhinu Danda. The trek ends at Nayapul, followed by a drive back to Pokhara, where you can unwind and explore the lakeside shops and restaurants. The journey concludes in Kathmandu with a farewell dinner hosted by Naata Trek and Tours.
This trek is ideal for travelers seeking a moderately challenging hike that combines cultural exploration, natural beauty, and unforgettable mountain vistas.
