Annapurna Base Camp Trek has always been a very popular choice for most adventure trekkers around the world. This walk, all the way up to the altitude of 4,130 meters not just greets trekkers with mesmerizing views of the peaks in the Annapurna massif, such as Annapurna I (the 10th highest peaks in the world), Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Annapurna II, Gangapurna as well as Annapurna III and other peak rising above over 6000 and 7000 meters, but also with a very stunning landscape that presents the glimpses of heaven on earth. Additionally, simple yet traditional settlements of mostly Gurung (ethnic group in Nepal) people have prettified this area to a great extent.
This Short Annapurna Base Camp trek is a 10-day trek package that starts and ends in Kathmandu. You will spend 2 nights in Kathmandu. 2 days will be used to transfer you from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back. You will spend the remaining 6 days in the Annapurna region, making your way all the way to the Annapurna base camp and back. The actual trek starts with a drive from the beautiful city of Pokhara to either Ghandruk, or Jhinu (you can choose your start point). The trail then goes through Chhomrong and Deurali to the base camp of Annapurna, which takes 3 days. Your return journey will be on the same trail down till Chhomrong, from where you will hike further down to Jhinu and then drive to Pokhara. Apart from the mountain views, during these 6 days, trekkers can enjoy a wide variety of landscape, vegetation, birds, insects and animals. You will spend only one night above the treeline. After the trek, Pokhara makes a perfect destination to relax and rewind.
