- Day to Day Itinerary
- It’s a long drive to Pokhara via the Prithvi highway. The view of the countryside, terraced farmland, and Trishuli river will keep us company way though. Passing through various cities we will reach Pokhara where we will set our luggage. Boating, cycling and enjoy the exquisite city of Lakes. No meals included.
- We drive all the way to Gurung village of Ghandruk. This city is blessed with the view of the Annapurna range as well as Mt. MAcchapuchhre (6,993) and the availability of the cherry blossoms in the area makes it even more spectacular. Descending down the forest we reach Kimrong river. From there we climb the hill and reach Kimrong village. 3 hours of drive. 4 hours of walk. BLD included.
- Climbing the hill and through the forest, we will reach an open land. Walking some more and we will reach Chhmrong (2,310m). Then after a long descent through the stone staircase, we cross a long suspension bridge. Again, it’s a long way up to Sinuwa. From there, we trek through the Bamboo forest and hillside and crossing Bamboo we reach Deurali. 6 hours of walk. BLD included.
- We start off early and walk up and down the rocky trails. From there, we will come across a wide grassy land that continues for miles. The mountains look shiny and highlighted from the distance. Their peak looks glittering with sunlight. It’s a peaceful walk until alongside the river until we reach a long staircase to Macchapuchhre Base camp. It’s a good place to enjoy the great fishtail mountain which looks huge from up close. After resting for a while we slowly walk towards Annapurna Base camp. 8 hours of walk. BLD included.
- Early morning, the view of the sunrise reflecting upon the Annapurna ranges is a sight to behold. We take our breakfast and walk back the way we came. It’s downhill so the trek becomes easier. Walking past the grassland and forest we cross Deurali and reach Sinuwa by dawn. 7 hours of walk. BLD Included.
- From Sinuwa we drop down through the long arduous stairs to cross the suspension bridge. Then we climb another series of awfully long stairs to reach Chhomrong. From there, we use a different path back home. We descend down the steep hill and reach JhinuDanda to reach the famous natural hot spring. Take a dip and we are good to go. We descend some more and stay overnight at an inn. 6 hours of walk. BLD included.
- Early morning after breakfast, we trek through the farmland. The walk is pleasant as there are no climbs. Through the terraced landscape, we reach Nayapul. From there we drive back to Pokhara through the winding roads alongside the great Modi Khola. Rest the luggage in the hotel and there will be plenty of time to enjoy the clean and tourist city of Pokhara. 2 hours of walk. 3 hours of drive. Breakfast included.
- We will drive back to the capital city through the same winding roads, with the view of the huge hills, white rivers and the terraced farmland from our window. We will stop by the highway for lunch and toilet break. Reaching Kathmandu, you can freshen up and stroll around the city and enjoy the exquisite nightlife at Thamel. You can also buy some souvenirs to take back home.

Fantastic epic adventure to ABC via poon hill
Thank you for organising the wonderful trek Mr Ghan. And special thank you to Milan who was very friendly, knowledgeable, patient, reliable and flexible. We both had a fantastic journey up/ down the ABC in all the different weather conditions. Santos was also exceptional in carrying our luggage. So huge thank you everyone! God was also very kind to provide us with such beautiful mountains, forest and views as well as answering many prayers for safety and good weather conditions in Jesus' name. :)

Annapurna base camp trek
I trekked to Annapurna Base Camp as a solo female traveler and felt safe and supported the entire time. Milan was an excellent guide—kind, professional, and very attentive. The experience was unforgettable, and I’d highly recommend this agency to anyone trekking in Nepal.

Great ABC experience
Walking the ABC trek with the group I joined was a lovely experience. The trek itself was much more demanding than I expected, but reaching the base camp and watching the sun rise was a moment I will never forget. Milan, our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and helpful. Thanks guys for the amazing moments.

Memories to last a lifetime, the first long hike.
I am very grateful to our best guide Jog Bahadur Gurung and team of porters for the great accompaniment of our group on this trek. They are true professionals, helped every step of the way, Jog helped wonderfully with counting in cafes, and even in unforeseen situations (finding a medical center in the middle of nowhere) helped us successfully find a way out. They are also very heartwarming and fun campagnons. Thank you so much for these wonderful memories and experiences.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $499 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Annapurna Base Camp Trek take?
+
Plan for about 192 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Base Camp Trek start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
