About Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of Nepal’s most popular and rewarding trekking adventures. It takes you deep into the heart of the Annapurna region, combining spectacular mountain scenery, lush forests, traditional Himalayan villages, and rich local culture.

The trek offers close-up views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Annapurna I (8,091 m), the 10th-highest mountain in the world, as well as Machapuchare (Fishtail), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, Tent Peak, and Singi Chuli.

The route can also include the famous Ghorepani–Poon Hill section, making the trek an excellent combination of mountain scenery, sunrise views, cultural experiences, and natural beauty. The ABC Trek is considered a moderate-level trek and is suitable for trekkers with a reasonable level of fitness. Depending on the chosen route and pace, it generally takes 8–12 days and begins and ends in Pokhara.
