Trip Overview
Annapurna base camp trek is famous for trekkers. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3, and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center.
From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located so that these treks can be easily combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west.
In spite of the great heights of the surrounding peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000 and 14,000 ft. can provide comfortable camping spots in good weather.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is an advanced spectacular hiking course that spreads in some of the environments of Annapurna Sanctuary National Park. The route starts with the beautiful forest and terrace of the rice fields that go up at an Annapurna Base Camp at a height of 4100m.
The landscape changes rapidly when hiking the height from tropical forests in thin snow between spectacular snow tips. Trekking in Nepal is a wonderful experience. ABC Trek is one of the most spectacular journeys in this region. Many trekkers should choose this route as shorter and cheap for the Everest-base Camp trek. The base camp has a non-realistic environment surrounded by some of the best peaks in the world.
Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 M), Fish Tail Macha Puchere (6993), and Hiunchuli (6441 M). The road to Annapurna Base Camp is accessible from several trailheads and is a period of 6 to 12 days depending on your route.
This article describes the ability to combine with other hiking courses such as ABC and Annapurna Circuit, Poon Hill, and Mardi Himal Trek, from the viewpoint of Annapurna Base Camp. It is easy to reach by public transport from the beautiful city of road. It’s a teahouse trek, which means there are plenty of cheap guesthouses to stay in and eat along the way. Discuss costs, itineraries, guides, porters, altitude sickness, and provide packaging and planning tips.

Day 2
After breakfast transfer domestic airport and flight to Pokhara then drive to Ghaundrung Phedi by Jeep and trek to Jhinu danda (natural hot spring). Flight for 30 minutes and driving 3:30 hours and walking 3 hours.
We will start our trek with a half-hour flight to Pokhara. The flight introduces us to the gigantic mountain peaks of Nepal. Right after taking off from Kathmandu, we will be greeted by the peaks of Langtang and the Lakpa Dorje Range. Going slightly westward we will see the mountain peaks of the Annapurna Massif and the Dhaulagiri range.
We will land at the Pokhara airport with the view of beautiful blue lakes like Rupa, Begnas, and Fewa in the fore ground.
A jeep will be waiting for us at Pokhara Airport then continue drive by jeep to Ghandruk Phedi. The road from Pokhara to Nayapul is the main road connecting Pokhara with Parbat, Beni, and Baglung. Therefore the road is black topped and the ride is comfortable.
We will leave the main trail from Nayapul and head on an off-road towards Ghandruk Phedi. We will drive through beautiful village sand picturesque fields of rice, barley,millet, potatoes, and other vegetables.
The view of mount Machhapuchre from Ghandruk Phedi is stunning. We will carry our luggage and start our trek from Ghandruk Phedi. We will take a short trek to Jhinu Danda today, where in lies the natural hot water spring. The road leading up to Jhinu is pleasant with the beautiful view of the Landruk village to our right. We will cross a long and high suspension bridge over Kimrong Khola after walking for a short while from Ghandruk Phedi. Another hour of the walk takes us to Jhinu Danda.
We will unpack our luggage at a guest house there and head 15 minutes downwards to the bank of the Modi River. Here lies the hot spring of Jhinu. It is believed that bathing at these springs’ cures people of skin and bone-related ailments. We will spend some time relaxing at the hot water spring in Jhinu and climb back towards Jhinu Danda. We will rest by the fireside for some time and slip into our bed after dinner.
Day 3
Jhinu danda to Sinuwa . Walking 6 hours.
We will start our trek from Sinuwa after early morning breakfast. The settlements are far-flungnow except for some small clusters of guest houses and homes of the local people. Places like Bamboo, Khuldi Ghar, and Dovan provide us welcome respite with hot tea served by the people of the hotel. We will also have our thermos and water flasks filled with hot water during breaks.
The road is steadily upwards, and the forest starts to get deeper as we move along. Sunlight is scarce because it is often blocked by the mountains and the canopy. The view of the deep glacial valley on our right is astounding. The Annapurna Massif projects towards the sky like a magical wall of snow ahead of us. The view of Machhapuchhre (fishtail)from our trekking tail is particularly noteworthy. We will encounter dense bamboo forest after reaching the place known as Bamboo. We will also see pipes used for hydroelectricity projects in the Modi River during our trek. We will reach Deurali in the evening and rest at a guest house there.
Day 4
Sinuwa to Deurali. Walking 6 hours
We will start our trek towards the Annapurna Base Camp today. The first part of the trek up to the Himalayas passes through forests which gets sparser as we move along. The road goes up and down a little and can often be slippery. We will rest for some time in the Himalayas and take our lunch. We will reach the banks of the Modi river after walking for a short while from the Himalayas. There are two route options from here – cross the Modi River and walk along the other bank or walk along same bank.
The two routes are almost parallel and converge near Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700 m/12,139 ft). However, if you are trekking during peak winter it is better if you walk along the opposite bank because the near bank has a risk of avalanche. Narrow passageway between Machhapuchhre and Himchuli Mountain is located near Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). This passageway is the only route towards the Annapurna Base Camp from the valley below. The Machhapuchhre Mountain has never been climbed as the locals hold the mountain sacred and it is considered ominous to climb the peak. The Base Camp is therefore only symbolic and is a resting spot for trekkers on their way to Annapurna Base Camp. The walk from Machhapurche Base Camp to Annapurna Base Camp takes about one and a half hours (two hours at most). Deep snow marks our track and if we are trekking during spring, we can see Danphe (the national bird of Nepal) in the mountain slopes to our right. Annapurna Base Camp is located in the middle of a small valley-like circle formed by mountains like Annapurna, Himchuli, Machhapuchhre, Gangapurna, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, and Gandharva Chuli. The rare sight of Machhapuchhre from its northern slope is visible from Annapurna Base Camp. We will rest at
guest house in Annapurna Base Camp for the night.
Day 5
Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp (4090m). Walking 4:30 hours.
We will wake up early so that we can catch the first glimpse of the sun rising over the giganticpeaks of the Annapurna Massif. There is a spot at a few minutes’ walk from Annapurna BaseCamp, which provides a stunning view of the mountains including the view of the glacier in theravine below. The sun lighting over the two fins of Fish Tail Mountain provides a view for a lifetime.
We will come back to our guest house after enjoying an early morning spectacle with the mountains.
We will begin our return trek after breakfast. The first part of the trek is to the narrow escapeway between Fish Tail and Himchuli Mountain. We will go further down from here, walking along the banks of the Modi River, until we reach the small settlement of Bamboo. We will warm ourselves by the fireside in a guest house at bamboo and slide into our bed following dinner.
Day 6
Annapurna base camp to Bamboo (2210m) Walking 6:30 hours
We will head back towards Jhinu Danda today. Today’s part of the trek is a pleasant downwardstroll among the silent woods of the Annapurna Sanctuary. One particular climb – from the baseof Chhomrong Khola to Upper Chhomrong – is difficult otherwise today is one of the easiest days of our trek. The view of Chhomrong village on the other hill across the river right after crossing Sinuwa is spectacular.
We will go down to the river through wide stone pavements and again climb up to the top of Chhomrong village, from where Jhinu Danda is clearly visible in the foot of the Modi River on the other side of the hill. We will often come across mule caravans which are the sole means of transport in this region. After reaching Chhomrong, we will begin a forty-five-minute descent toward Jhinu Danda. We can again go back to the Jhinu hot spring if we are willing and have time to spare. We can see light coming out from the Landruk village in distance during the evening.
Day 7
Bamboo to Pokhara. Trek to Ghaundrung Phedi then drive by Jeep to Pokhara. Walking 5 hours & Driving 3:30 hours.
We will bid farewell to Jhinu Danda after breakfast and start our trek. The trek is easy and takes us through level hillsides. We will cross the suspension bridge over Kimrong Khola after walking about an hour from Jhinu Danda. The view of the gorging Kimrong Khola below from the suspension bridge is spectacular. We will also see the meeting point of the Kimrong and Modi rivers from the suspension bridge.We will rest for tea upon reaching Ghandruk Phedi. The Ghandruk village, which is known for it home stays and beautiful view of the mountains, is located at ten minutes of a hike from Ghandruk Phedi. We can explore the village and learn more about the culture of the local Gurung people if we have enough time. We will board a jeep to Pokhara from Ghandruk Phedi. Please note that Jeep might not always be readily available upon return to Ghandruk Phedi from Jhinu Danda. In such cases, we might also need to board on a local bus to Pokhara.
We will reach Pokhara after three and hours of drive. We will check into our hotel and walk along the Fewa lakeside. Pokhara is a beautiful tourist town with vibrant nightlife. We will enjoy a pleasant evening at the lakeside and go back to our hotel.
Day 8
Drive to Kathmandu by tourist bus. Driving 6 hours
The view of the mountains from Pokhara during sunrise, especially the reflection of fishtail onthe Phewa Lake is spectacular. We will wake up early to catch this spectacular sight and boardon a tourist bus back to Kathmandu following breakfast. The bus ride is a joy ride along the Prithvi highway which serpents along the banks of the Marsyangdi and Trishuli rivers for the most part. These two rivers are among the main tributaries of the Narayani River, the deepest river in Nepal.You will see the mid-altitude parts of the Mahabharata range during the ride back. Beautiful classical Nepali villages are seen along both banks of the river during the ride. We will also come across some highway towns like Damauli, Muglin, Gajuri, Malekhu, and Naubise.

Temperatures during this period in the Nepali mountains remain relatively warm 10° to 15°, much warmer than the one you experience during the winter. The most important thing about this season is that mornings mostly remain bright and clear. The afternoons remain mostly filled with warm air. The rhododendron forests in springtime create a spectacular scenes. You can experience the wild and natural “Himalayan” beauty. Needless to say, June is much warmer and greener.
Another best season for trekking in the Nepal is from September to the half of December. This is often regarded as the ideal time for the panoramic view of mountains. Days during these months typically remain sunny and clear. Moderate temperatures and comparatively cool evenings make the experience of trekking in this part of the world quite unique.

Making trekking around Mustang, Rara, Dolpo, Annapurna circuit, Lantang Valley, Jomsom Trek, Everest base camp, and Gokyo valley during this season enables you to explore nature in their unique blend.
As long as you are in good physical shape, you do not require any hiking experience for this trek. Good fitness level, proper training plan, and acclimation make the trek much easier.
Proper training like 3-5 days of week (hiking, brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming) are essential for an enjoyable and successful trek in Nepal. Generally, you need to walk 6 to 7 hours each day while trekking in Annapurna base camp.

Certainly! When trekking at high altitudes, it’s essential to acclimatize gradually to prevent altitude sickness. The provided itinerary includes acclimatization days to help you adjust to the altitude.
There are health centers and clinics available in some villages along the route in Annapurna. Your guide will also carry a basic first aid kit.
Accommodations & Foods
We do provide 3 stars hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara on BB plan and tea house (mountain lodge) in trekking in AP plan (accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner). Tea Houses (mountain lodge) are more like hotels, with hot showers, western food, and private rooms (twin sharing). In this arrangement overnight halts with dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges) and lunches in local restaurants en-route. Freshly cooked food is served at all times (western, continental and Nepalese, Chinese, Indian and Tibetan meals are available in all places).

Meats are rarely eaten although you may have canned tuna or sardines and the occasional yak stew. Breakfasts typically consist of eggs (prepared in many ways), hot porridge, muesli, toast, peanut butter and honey. Hot tea is served at every meal. Although food is looked upon as
“fuel” rather than a “culinary art”, your cook will occasionally surprise you with such delights as banana fritters and apple crisps! You may want to bring you’re a few of your favorite trail snacks.
You will get mix of toilet facilities from basic to western one. When discussing the topic of showering at higher altitudes during trekking, it’s essential to consider both hygiene and health factors.

Altitude sickness/ Insurance/ Medication/Equipment's
Many people are concerned about altitude sickness. This problem, often known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a particularly important medical consideration while trekking in Nepal and Tibet. Altitude illness rarely occurs lower than 2800 meters (9520ft) and only minor symptoms occur below 3000 meters (9,800ft). AMS occurs when the body does not adapt well to less oxygen at higher altitudes. At 18,000 ft (5490m), there is one half the oxygen available as at sea level; on top of Mount Everest, only one third. The body tries to adapt to less oxygen by increasing the rate and depth of breathing, as well as the heart rate. Individual susceptibility to altitude sickness seems to be genetically determined.
What happens to the body during altitude illness? Fluids accumulate in between the cells in the brain and/or the lungs, creating mild or severe symptoms. Mild symptoms include headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms usually resolve by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude. If symptoms worsens descent to lower altitudes is warranted..
If you are resting at the same altitude and your symptoms are becoming worse, then it is also necessary to descend.
More serious symptoms of AMS include increased tiredness, severe headache, vomiting,, loss of coordination, shortness of breath, cough. These extremely dangerous symptoms are called High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE). They can lead to unconsciousness and death within 12 hours.
Increasing shortness of breath, cough and tiredness may also be signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE. HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored.
Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude. The following substances can do this and should never be used by someone who has symptoms of altitude illness:
- Alcohol
- Sleeping pills (acetazolamide is the sleeping tablet of choice at altitude)
- Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses
To prevent AMS and respiratory depression, drink at least three liters of liquids a day and avoid getting cold. Altitude sickness can to a certain extent be prevented by acetazolamide (Diamox SR), 750mg per day. Some experts suggest a two-day trial before the trip. Please seek the advice of your personal physician. Please note that taking Diamox SR does not mean that you can ignore advice about proper acclimatization.
To recap, serious symptoms of altitude sickness include:
- A severe, enduring headache, which is not cured by ordinary painkillers
- Marked nausea and repeated vomiting
- Irritating dizziness or actual difficulty with balance and direction
- Visual disturbances with flickering vision and problems judging distance
- Pressure in the chest, rapid breathing and pulse rate, crackles in breathing and shortness of breath
- Swelling beneath the skin (edema), typically around the eyes
- Swollen ankles and hands
- Confusion
- Convulsions
In the presence of these symptoms, medical attention must be sought immediately in conjunction with descent to the lowest possible height.
Prevention of Altitude Illness:
- What happens to the body in altitude illness? Fluid accumulates in between cells in the brain and/or the Symptoms can be mild or severe. Mild symptoms of acute mountain sickness or
AMS are headache, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, lack of sleep and dizziness. These symptoms can resolve once someone is acclimatized e.g. by spending one or two extra nights at the same altitude or symptoms may worsen needing someone to descend to lower altitudes.
- When mild symptoms develop, it is a signal that you must stay at that altitude until symptoms have gone away. Usually within one or two days you will feel well and can continue your trek. If you are resting at the same altitude and your symptoms are becoming worse, then it is necessary to descend. Worsening symptoms of AMS including increasing tiredness, severe headache, vomiting, and loss of coordination. These are signs of High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE). HACE can lead to unconsciousness and death within 12 hours if progressive symptoms are ignored. Increasing shortness of breath, cough, and tiredness are signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE. HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored. Increasing shortness of breath, cough, and tiredness are signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema or HAPE can also be rapidly fatal if ignored.
- Respiratory depression (the slowing down of breathing) can be caused by various medications, and may be a problem at altitude.

-Narcotic pain medications in more than modest doses
- Drink plenty of liquids (at least three litres a day)
- Avoid getting
- Altitude sickness can, to a certain extent, be prevented by acetazolamide (Diamox SR), 750mg per day from one day before ascent until two days after reaching the maximum height. Some experts suggest that to get to know the possible drug side effects it is wise to give it a two-day trial before the trip. This is an unlicensed use of this medicine, which is also only available on prescription, so it should only be undertaken on the advice of a doctor. Possible side effects include nausea: taste disturbance, tingling hands and feet, frequent and copious urination, visual disturbances and skin However, taking Diamox SR does not mean people can ignore advice about slow ascent.

Unique path trekking company has excellent staff on ground to make the trekking experience very enjoyable and memorable. The guide and porters go out of their way to make each and every member of the team feel safe and secured. Mr Babu the founder owner of the company is very responsive and is able to assist every member of the team with their individual needs. I would recommend engaging Unique Path for Himalaya trekking.

I like trekking with Unique Path, the guides of this company many times made my way comfortable and safe. I traveled with them to Lobuche, Mera, Island and other places solo and in the groups with my friends. Unique Path is a reliable partner and I plan to trek with them again in Langtang region this autumn.

I have used Unique Path three times and each time the team were all helpful, friendly and informative. Every aspect of our trip to Nepal was taken care of - Pick up at the airport to take us to our hotel. Next day the excitement of getting our trekking details and depending on the trip setting out with our guide and porter. My husband and I prefer to hike on our own, so we did no group options. Our itinerary was always followed exactly. When I go hiking in Nepal this company is my first point of contact. They are a great team and are totally recommended by me and my husband.

Unique Path is a great choice for anyone who wants to explore the Himalayas. My wife and I made several treks with Unique Path to Manaslu, Kangchenjunga, Tilicho Lake, and Mustang. It goes without saying, that the scenery in Nepal is stunning. Lots of opportunity to learn about the culture and religion and traditions of Nepal. The people we met along the way were engaging and wonderful.
Unique Path's staff was fantastic throughout all the trips. They were very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. They arranged everything from transportation to accommodation to food. They also provided all the necessary equipment and guidance and handled all the permit applications.
I highly recommend Unique Path trekking to anyone who loves adventure and nature. These were once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I will never forget.
I am available as a reference.

Myself and 2 buddies hired Unique Path Trekking to coordinate an EBC trek back in 2014. We couldn't have been more happy with the results...Everything went flawlessly and we had the adventure of a lifetime. Babu and his staff / guides / porters were top-notch and I highly recommend them to anyone who may be reading this.

As with all treks, there will be unforeseen circumstances and you’re always beholden to nature. So you want a guide and an agency that is not only experienced enough but also sensitive and quick to changes on ground.
I am very grateful for the deep experience that our guide, Dambar had. He made us feel safe and constantly had everything under control despite the weather and some early sickness some of us had.
Coupled with his sharp wit and deep knowledge, this became such an enjoyable climb that was filled with priceless stories that I can’t wait to tell the kids about.
The porters too were a lively bunch that ultimately became friends and we shared lots of fun moments on the mountain together.
Babu ensured that our arrivals, arrangements and any administrative hassles were smooth and out of our minds so we could focus on the climb ahead.
Thank you Unique Path trekking & expedition. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a great time while knowing you’re in safe hands!

We were very fortunate to have Unique Path Trekking for our EBC with 3 Himalaya passes expedition, we were so happy/satisfied with Unique Path trekking.
Babu ( owner of Unique Path Trekking) is so kind, knowledgeable and mellow personality so does their staff ( all guides and porters ). We had great time during this expedition in terms of lodging/food. We had large group ( ~ 18 ppl ) and believe or not no one had any single complain of food.
Their guides and porters are so knowledgeable, smart, humorous made our entire expedition lots of fun. They take care of us with positive attitudes with smiley face in entire trip.
I definitely recommend Unique Path Trekking for any expedition in Himalaya ( we're looking forward to go with them in Annapurna expedition in near future ).
You will very glad/happy if you choose Unique Path and Trekking.

I just returned from a wonderful hike to Everest base camp with helicopter return. I was traveling solo am so grateful to Manager Babu and guide Suresh for looking after me. It is a trip I will remember the rest of my life. We started with a half day tour of Kathmandu and then flew to lukla on the next day to begin the trek. All the arrangements were made ahead of time and the folks unique path team constantly got on the phone to make sure the logistics went smoothly. Suresh kept a moderate pace and a great sense of humor. We made good time throughout the hikes and always got to the lodges on time and in daylight with energy left for the next day. The weather also cooperated this March and we had beautiful sunny skies and gorgeous Mountain View’s throughout the trek. I really could not ask for anything more and would very much recommend unique path
