Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular trekking trail for trekkers in the world because of its close view of Annapurna and Fishtail [Machapuchare] which lies to the Northwest of Pokhara touristic-beautiful lake valley at the the height of 4130 m.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek starts from Nayapul Birethanti-rice terraces field at the bank of the Modi River. Gradually climb uphill, it transforms its natural landscapes to the thick oak forests, birch tree, rhododendron forests and from lush green grazing lands to the paddy field. In the spring time, the trail is colorful rhododendron blossoming along the trek. That is not enough, this Annapurna region is shelter to 100 species of mammals, 60 reptiles and amphibians and more than 450 species of different birds. It offers to see you unique cultures, home settlement and lifestyles of ethinic group magar and gurung village.

We delight in numerous days of charming strolling with a blend of inexhaustible woodland and scattered zones of cultivated area. All around the stroll in there are extraordinary scenes of the high crests to the north, and the differentiation of the rice-fields and towns with the snow tops above, makes for extremely beautiful trekking without a doubt. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek trail takes you to the heart of the Gurung and Magar societies and their conventional lifestyle. Annapurna Trek is one of a kind experience to be one of them for a while and rejoice their hospitality.

The trekking to Annapurna Base Camp further introduces delightful perspectives of Himalayas incorporating Machapuchare, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and Gangapurna. Annapurna Base Camp Trek package is a great starting track for close experiences with the Himalayas in a brief time of time.

Best Time to do Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Autumn (September-November) along with spring (March-May) are the season for Annapurna Base Camp Trek
During autumn season the weather is warm and dry, so much suitable for trekking. Similarly autumn season offers crystal clear views of surrounding mountain ranges. Likewise, spring season is warm suitable for trekking in spring season Rhododendron starts to bloom and dry leaves turns green. Due to this reason if you trek in spring season you will observe greenery all around spring thus walk through such green.Trails will be fascinating

Winter (December to February) and Summer (June to August) are off seasons for Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Other remaining season summer and winter season are less popular for trekking. This is because of unfavorable weather condition. During winter season the temperature of Annapurna region drops below 0 degrees, making the Annapurna region freezing cold.  So if you choose to trek in winter season, be sure you have carried all those necessary trekking gears to be safe from extreme cold. In summer season Annapurna region experiences a lots of rainfall, making trekking trails slippery and muddy. Thus trekking in such trails is so much challenging.

Good to Know

Length of the Trek

In duration of 15 Days Annapurna base camp trek you will have to cover the length of 115 km. Thus you are likely to get tired during ABC trek, as you have to walk roughly 6-7 hrs a day. So it is good if you are physically fit if not then the trek might be difficult to you. It will be better if you train your body by doing some easy exercise like jogging, swimming cycling before a month of real trekking.

Altitude Sickens

At high altitude trekking like Annapurna Base Camp trekking people are likely to suffer from altitude sickness. It is best to avoid such high altitude trekking if you are suffering from any kind of heart disease. In case if you face any difficulty in breathing, descend to lower altitude as quickly as possible. The best way to keep yourself away from the altitude sickness is by keeping yourself hydrated similarly do not rush hard to reach the destination, trek slow and takes rest along the route . We suggest you to research about the symptoms’ and preventive measure of altitude sickness before doing the real trek.

Budget Management

During Annapurna base camp trekking, the charge of food and accommodation costs you more as trek to higher altitudes. At higher altitude, there are only few lodges that provide services. Due to this monopoly the cost is higher ever for simple accommodations. Similarly you will have to pay extra charges for tipping charging and hot shower bathing .Thus it would better if you take some extra Nepali currency with you to overcome budget problem while trekking.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    I have booked Everest base camp trek however there was very bad weather and my flight cancelled for two days. Suman was being flexible and offered other options including Annapurna base camp. It was very last minute, but Suman was able to organize everything very quickly. As a result the treks to ABC proceed without any issue. Guide Hupa Raj was incredible; simply no words can describe how professional, kind and informative he is. Dream Heaven Adventure, the company truly is above the competition and Suman has clearly worked extremely hard to build the company to this level, as such I won't hesitate to recommend Dream Heaven Adventure to anyone interested in visiting Nepal.

    Annapurna Base Camp and circuit trek

    I trekked the Annapurna Circuit and base camp with Gopal and Dream Heaven. I had a great time, as a solo hiker, it was great to not have to worry about anything and know that someone was looking out for me. It was also very cool to have someone informing me about the mountains and culture as we went along. Would definitely trek with Dream Heaven again!!
