Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Q: How many days is the Annapurna Base Camp trek?

Most ABC treks take 7–12 days from Pokhara, depending on the route and pace. Adding Poon Hill adds a day or two.

Q: How high is Annapurna Base Camp?

Annapurna Base Camp is at 4,130 m. Machapuchare Base Camp, the last stop before it, is at about 3,700 m.

Q: Is the ABC trek difficult?

It is a moderate trek. The altitude is lower than Everest, but the trail has thousands of stone steps and long climbs, so good fitness helps.

Q: Where does the Annapurna Base Camp trek start?

It starts from Pokhara with a drive to a trailhead such as Nayapul or a road head near Ghandruk or Jhinu Danda.

Q: What permit do I need for the ABC trek?

You need the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP). Our team arranges it for you.

Q: What is included in your ABC trek package?

A licensed guide, the ACAP permit, teahouse accommodation, Pokhara–trailhead transport and meals as stated. Check the full list on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek page.

Q: Can beginners do the Annapurna Base Camp trek?

Yes. ABC is one of the best first Himalayan treks for fit beginners who train beforehand.

Q: When is the best time for the ABC trek?

October–November and March–May. Winter brings snow near base camp, and June–August is the rainy monsoon season.

Q: ABC trek or Everest Base Camp — which is better?

ABC is shorter, lower and greener, starting by road from Pokhara. Everest Base Camp is higher, longer and takes you to the foot of the world's highest mountain. Compare them on our Himalayan trekking page.

Q: Are there hot springs on the ABC trek?

Yes. Jhinu Danda, on the lower part of the route, has natural hot springs by the river — a favourite stop on the way down.

ABC Trek Difficulty and Fitness

Is it right for you?

Moderate difficulty: 5–7 hours of walking most days with many steep stone staircases, especially around Chhomrong.
Lower altitude than Everest: the maximum is 4,130 m, so altitude sickness is less common but still possible above 3,000 m.
Good for first-time trekkers with regular fitness training.
Avalanche awareness: after heavy snow, the section above Deurali can be closed — guides follow local advice.

Best Time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek
