Luxurious Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Arrival in Kathmandu airport, meet our Himalayan Social Journey team and transfer to hotel. Orientation program starts at 5 PM and after that welcome dinner at hotel with guide.

After breakfast, you take a 25-minute flight to Pokhara, with early views of the Himalayan range along the way. After a short stop in Pokhara to prepare for the trek, you start walking. The trail climbs gradually toward Tikhe Dhunga, at 1495m (4903ft). This first day of walking is a good way to begin adjusting to the altitude while taking in the forest and village scenery.

Today, after a warm breakfast, you will head towards Ghorepani. Walking along the terraced fields, lush rhododendron and oak forests, meeting people along the way eventually you will reach beautiful village of Ghorepani.

Ghorepani is a picturesque village located in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Situated at an altitude of approximately 2,874 meters (9,429 feet), Ghorepani is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and panoramic mountain views. 

Early morning, you hike up to Poon Hill for sunrise. On a clear day you get a wide view of peaks including Annapurna and Dhaulagiri as the early light hits the snow. After taking in the view, you walk back down to the guest house for breakfast, then continue trekking to Tadapani, a mountain village at around 2630m.

On the fifth day, the path is descending up to Bamboo passing through forests with varieties of rhododendron, oaks and bamboo plants. Take the opportunity to spot the diverse flora and fauna that thrive in this area, enhancing the natural beauty that surrounds you. After Bamboo, the trail goes steeply up to the Kuldi Ghar and now the trail is quite flat until we reach Sinuwa. 

After breakfast, the trail climbs gently through forest with rhododendron and oak trees, then follows a muddy path high above the river. Deurali is a quiet stop before the final push to Annapurna Base Camp, with views opening up toward the mountains and valleys ahead.

On this day, you finally arrive to your ultimate destination. At the altitude of 4130m, you shall have walked 6-7 hours to reach the Annapurna Base Camp. To reach here you pursue an itinerary through the narrow gorge Modi Khola glacier valley, which takes you to Annapurna's base camp, at the foot of Machhapuchhre. The Annapurna glaciers are not far away.

The Base Camp in Machhapuchhre gives us amazing views of the nearby mountains. From Hiunchuli, past Annapurna South to Annapurna I (8097m/26,566 ft) and Khangsar Kang, Gangapurna, Annapurna III and Machhapuchhare we have an impressive 360 grade view.

After breakfast at Annapurna Base Camp, you board the helicopter. As it lifts off you get a wide view of the surrounding peaks and the Annapurna Sanctuary from above, before landing in Pokhara. The rest of the day is free time to rest.

After breakfast, join a guided sightseeing tour of Pokhara, including about an hour of boating on Phewa Lake and a hike up to the Peace Pagoda.
