Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. Also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, this trek in Nepal makes it possible for trekkers to get face-to-face with the 10th highest peak in the world, Annapurna I, and other prominent peaks in the Annapurna region that make Annapurna massif, like Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Hiun Chuli,Gandharwa Chuli, Annapurna III as well as Tharpu Chuli. Apart from the mountain views, the trekkers can enjoy a diverse landscape that ranges from the cityscape of Pokhara to the lush green forest (of mainly Rhododendron, Oak and Bamboo that support a variety of animal, bird and insect life) to the high altitude alpine meadows. The highest you will go on this trek is 4,130 meters. The landscape, the walking hours, the views, the distance and the altitude covered each day, all make this trek a perfect choice for all novice trekkers, solo travelers, groups with adventurous children and physically fit senior citizens.
Amigo Treks and Expedition’s 6 days Pokhara to Pokhara ABC trek is specially designed for trekkers who are looking to complete one of the high altitude treks in Nepal in the shortest possible time. This Pokhara-Pokhara Annapurna Base Camp trek itinerary starts with us picking you up from your hotel in Pokhara and a drive to Ghandruk/Jhinu to start the trek and ends with a drive back to your hotel in Pokhara from Jhinu. Out of 6 days, 3 days will be used to hike all the way up to the base camp of the Annpaurna, 2 days to hike back down to Jhinu and 1 day to drive to Pokhara. The trail goes through Ghandruk, Chhomrong and Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp. After base camp, trekkers will retrace the steps to Chhomrong and then hike down to Jhinu to end the trek. You also have an option to drive to Jhinu and start the trek instead of Ghandruk.
Our Pokhara-Pokhara Annapurna Base Camp Trek package allows trekkers to book their own accommodation, transportation and other services in the cities as per their requirements and budget. A similar alternative for this package will be Pokhara to Pokhara Mardi Himal Trek. Moreover, if you’d like us to take care of everything from your arrival in Nepal to departure our 10 days Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be the perfect option for you. However, if you can add a few more days to the trek, you can also include Ghorepani-Poonhill to the itineary, which is considered the best view point in the entire Annapurna region to view the peaks that make the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri range. If you’d like more information on this trek please follow our 12 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Ghorepani and Poon Hill. But if you are only on a week long vacation 7 days Ghorepani-Poon Hill trek will be the best option for you. Nevertheless, if adding 2 more days is not a problem for you, we highly recommend Ghorepani-Poon Hill with Ghandruk Trek to experience the perfect blend of culture and nature.
