Annapurna Base Camp Trek

A representative from Adventure Kora will escort you from the airport to your hotel. In the afternoon, you can opt to  take a short excursion through the city, especially the Kathmandu Durbar Square to take you on a cultural and historical tour of the ancient city.  

If you still have some last minute trek supplies to purchase, our guides will take you to some of the adventure sports store. We’ll head back to the hotel for dinner where the guide will orient you about the trek.

Today we will be driving to Pokhara. It's a 6 hours drive from Kathmandu City. Once you check into the hotel, you can head out to the lakeside area. The lakeside offers boating rides, paddle boarding and also a short hike to the Peace Pagoda.

After an early breakfast, we’ll drive to the village of Siwai, the starting point of our trek. Along the way, you will be greeted by glimpses of Mount Fishtail. After a quick stoppover at Jhinu for lunch, we'll continue up the steep trail. The trail has a few stretches of downhill, before it steadily heads uphill again. The last stretch of the steep uphill climb to Chommorong is the most challenging part of this route. Stopover at Chommorong.

After Chommorong, the route is lined with forest cover until bamboo.  While you enjoy the view of Mount Fishtail and Annapurna ranges, do keep a lookout for the lophophorus (Nepali National Bird), blue sheep and deer.

Today’s trail includes steep uphill until Deurali. You’ll notice a marked difference in the vegetation as you head higher, with lush green forest giving way to alpine covers. If you’re lucky you might get to see groups of Langoors huddled together, busy basking in the sun or foraging for food.

Enroute to Annapurna Base Camp, we will stop at Machhapuchre Base Camp for lunch. Throughout the way enjoy magnificent views of Annapurna Range, Hiuchuli and Fish Tail. The night sky, and the view surrounded by the Annapurna range on all sides is simply awe-inspiring.

You will have to wake up early to watch the sunrise. The awe-inspiring view of the  sun slowly cloaking the mountains with its rays until they stand glistening admist the clouds is spectacular. After breakfast, we trace our way downwards to Bamboo again.

After a late breakfast, we descend towards Jhinu which is famed for its hot springs.The route is fairly short and we should reach Jhinu by lunchtime. Settle down in your lodge and head out to the hotsprings.

Tracing our route back from Jhinu we head toward Siwai. We’ll reach Siwai by afternoon and a jeep will drive us back to Pokhara. At Pokhara, feel free to spend the rest of your day at leisure.

We'll head back to Kathmandu after breakfast. You can spend the day at leisure in Kathmandu or opt to take a city tour with our guide or finish some last minute souvenir shopping.

Adventure Kora's representative will drop you off at the airport.
