On this day you will grab your breakfast as early as 6:00 a.m. in the morning and head towards tourist Bus Park. You will board a tourist bus to Pokhara and depart from Kathmandu at around 7 am. The bus ride will take around 7 hours through coiled with couple of breaks in between for snacks and lunch. The drive to Pokhara on one of the major highways is exhilarating and you can witness beautiful views of never leaving tributaries, lush green hills and roadside settlements. Overnight in Pokhara.

The days are going to begin early in the morning and you will wake up early to catch your breakfast by 7:00 a.m. After breakfast, you will board the vehicle of your choice and embark on the highway to Nayapul. Roughly around 2 hours and you begin to unload your luggage and cross the rustic bridge of Modi khola and walk for about 15 minutes to Birethanti. After getting your permit checked here you will begin hiking for approximately 1 hour on jeep track. The trail mostly follows Modi Khola to Syaule Bazaar. From here you walk on remarkable paved stone trail for around 5 hours to reach Ghandruk. In Ghandruk you get exposed to the beautiful Gurung communities, their stone slated houses and beautiful Himalayan culture. Overnight in Ghandruk

Today you will ascend and descend through small patches of villages and seasonal crops on terrace farmland. The primary section of the trek can be described as effortless, walking through the rustic suspension and wooden log bridges. However, the final 2 hours of hike that takes you to Chomrong can be a little demanding. In the end, we call it a day in Chomrong and you can relax and enjoy the up close view of mountains Hiunchuli, Machapuchhre and Annapurna South. Overnight in Chomrong.

We commence our day from Chomrong and head towards Himalaya. You steadily ascend towards your destination and spend most of the time walking in the lush green Rhododendron forest. Except for couple of steep ascend and descend, the trail is not very demanding. You will walk through small patches of villages intermingling with the dense forest. Keep looking out as this section of Annapurna Base Camp trek is well known for witnessing of wild animals. Overnight in Himalaya.

You start the day by hiking a pleasant ascend, making our way through streams and falls until a steep ascend to Hinku and further small but steep hike to Deurali. With every spur towards the destination of the day, the mountains seem to be within the grasp of your palms. Once you reach Deurali, the trail is more relaxed but undergoes one of the avalanche prone zones. The most beautiful and majestic views wait at the Machhapuchhre base camp. On this day you may feel the effect of altitude. Overnight in Machapuchhre base camp (MBC).

From MBC you embark on the only trail that leads to Annapurna Base Camp. Comparatively, it is a short walk on the trail in between Hiunchuli and the glacier of the mountains in the area. The day’s trek does not exceed over 4 hours to the maximum. We call it a day at Annapurna base camp and relax in the serene ambiance, on the laps of Himalayas. This trek although is not strenuous is considered to be slightly technical because of altitude and snowy conditions at times. Overnight in ABC.

From today on you will begin descending and will trek the same route taken on your way up. We first head to MBC followed by Deurali, Himalaya, Dovan and finally Bamboo. We descend for almost 7 hours until we reach Bamboo. As every day we take frequent breaks in between the initial point and the final destination. After a long day on trails you will spend a night in Bamboo. Overnight in Bamboo.

From Bamboo you begin descending to a river, cross streams and bridges and climb steep uphill for almost 1 hour. This initial section of the trek allows you to enjoy serenity of lush green forest. From here on, most of this day’s walk is on flat trails with gentle up’s and down’s except for one final steep climb for half an hour to Chomrong. From here, you will follow the steep trail downwards to Jhinu danda where waits natural hot springs. Annapurna base camp trek offers the possibility of enjoying natural hot springs and rejuvenating for the rest of our journey. Overnight in Jhinu.

From Jhinu Danda the trail becomes gradual; ascends and descends are somewhat effortless. You make our way through rustic bridges, patch of villages and jeep tracks until you finally checkout from ACAP at Birethati. Once you checkout, you walk around 15 minutes to Nayapul. At Nayapul you board a vehicle and drive back to Pokhara. Once you reach Pokhara, you can enjoy walking around the Phewa Lake or rest, as per our preference. Overnight in Pokhara.

Early in the morning you head towards tourist Bus Park and board a tourist bus back to Kathmandu. The bus ride will take around 7 hours through curvy roads of hilly terrain with couple of breaks in between for snacks and lunch. Once in Kathmandu the representative of Crown Earth Treks and expedition will transfer you to your hotel. Your Annapurna base camp trek officially comes to an end once we wave you off at your hotel.

The Airport representative from Crown Earth Team will transport you to Kathmandu International Airport around 3 hours before your scheduled flight. You will then depart from Nepal with the most delightful memories stories to tell.
