The legendary Annapurna Basecamp Trek is a mesmerizing adventure that goes through Nepal’s most iconic Landscapes. It’s a blend of lush rhododendron forests blooming in the lap of the mighty himalayas with many rich cultural encounters which offers an unforgettable immersion into the himalayas.
Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA), you will be met by a representative and transferred to your hotel. Check into your cozy Boutique hotel in Thamel. In the evening, there will be a pre-trek briefing, and you will enjoy a welcome dinner with traditional Nepali cuisine and a cultural show.
Enjoy a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara by private jeep, traversing winding roads and picturesque landscapes. Upon arrival, check into your hotel. In the afternoon, you can explore Lakeside, enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake, or visit the Tal Barahi Temple.
After breakfast, drive by private jeep to Nayapul and then further to Siwai/Matkyu, the actual trek starting point. Begin your trek to Ghandruk, a beautiful and large traditional Gurung village. The trail offers stunning views of Annapurna South, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Explore the Gurung Museum and experience local culture.
Today's trek involves a descent to the Kimrong Khola and then a steady climb to Chhomrong, a significant village on the ABC trail. Chhomrong offers fantastic close-up views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre.
Descend via stone steps to Chhomrong Khola, cross a suspension bridge, and then begin a steep ascent to Sinuwa. From Sinuwa, the trail goes through dense bamboo forests, descending gradually to Bamboo.
Continue through the bamboo and rhododendron forests, making a gradual but steady ascent along the Modi Khola river. You'll pass through Dovan and then climb towards Deurali. The landscape starts to change, becoming more rugged and alpine.
This is a crucial and exciting day. The trail ascends steeply from Deurali, passing through Hinku Cave, before reaching Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC) at 3,700m. Take a break here, soak in the views, and then continue for another 1.5-2 hours to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). At ABC, you'll be surrounded by a magnificent amphitheater of towering peaks, including Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhre. Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views.
Wake up early to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Annapurna range from ABC. After breakfast, begin your descent, retracing your steps back through MBC and Deurali to Bamboo. This is a long day mostly downhill, so be mindful of your knees.
From Bamboo, the trail generally descends, with some uphill sections. You'll pass through Sinuwa and then descend to Chhomrong. From Chhomrong, a significant descent leads you to Jhinu Danda. In the afternoon, you can walk down to the natural hot springs located by the Modi Khola river for a relaxing dip – a perfect way to soothe tired muscles after days of trekking.
Enjoy a final morning walk from Jhinu Danda to Nayapul (or a closer road head like Siwai/Matkyu). From there, you'll take a private jeep back to Pokhara. Check into your hotel and enjoy a well-deserved evening of relaxation, perhaps celebrating your successful trek.
After breakfast, drive back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you can spend the afternoon relaxing, doing some last-minute souvenir shopping in Thamel, or exploring any sights you might have missed on Day 1.
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel. Depending on your flight schedule, you might have some free time before being transferred to Tribhuvan International Airport for your international departure.

I had a very good experience with Admiral Adventure Treks. We were with a group of 11 adults. The owner is trustable and does what he promises. Good price. During the trek the guide took very good care of all us. And the potters were great too. We had lot's of fun and enjoyed the mountains. Great service.
I did the ABC trekking via Agency and with guide. Because I thought, it might be more safe not to travel alone in high mountains. As I also could have some troubles with chronical deseases.The guide that came in the morning to pick me up was Nakul Pulami. And I got to know him as the most mindful and caring person ever. We did an 8 days trekking plus 2 days on bus back and forth and it was just very comfortable to have him at my side. In Annapurna Base Camp I got slight hight sickness. But enough for me to panic. Nakul was all time around to do first aid and what ever he could to calm me. I am sure, that with anybody else at my side I would have needed helicopter rescue.Next morning I felt good enough to slowly descend. Again, Nakul helped me and we could make jokes about 'helicopter rescue on foot'.Short: I felt a 100% safe at Nakuls side and would always again travel with him. Highest recommendation.
We decided to climb up all the way up to Anapurna basecamp. It was a perfect adventure for us. Our guide Tej helped us in every situation, he took care of us, explained us the way, found amazing places to stay AND we had our Nepali class every day 😂😊 it was really fun. So if you wanna do trekking, don’t do it alone- book this company and choose tej as your guide. 👍
Did an 8 day trek with Prakash as our guide and it was fantastic. He was super accommodating and knowledgeable on the trek, couldn’t recommend his service more. Nothing bad to say at all, very happy with our experience in Nepal! :)
Had an unreal time with our guide Prakash who arranged everything for us and gave us an excellent time in Nepal! He was very accommodating to everyone’s needs and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Organised everything above and beyond our trek.
I went to Nepal a few years back and did the 10 day trek to Annapurna basecamp. Tika was the tour leader. The tour was very organized and the group was taken care of really well. I did not have to think about any of the logistics and felt that I could totally depend on Tika and his team. Tika and his team were also friendly and good company. They were happy to answer any questions or curiosities we had about Nepal and the way of life there. I really enjoyed my experience and felt it was made all the better by Tika and his team. I plan to return at some point and would definitely use Admiral Adventure Tours. I'd also strongly recommend them to any of my friends and family - or whoever is looking to visit Nepal!
I have hired Tika, from Admiral Adventures treks on both of my visits to Nepal. He and his company are top class and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Tika tailored our tours to fit in exactly what we wanted and needed. The first time I did a 10 day trek to Annapurna basecamp, which was totally amazing, and he looked after our group at all times, making sure we were all well, and sharing his vast knowledge of the area with us.The second time I went to Nepal I had hired Tika to take us on another 5 day trek. He sorted out our accommodation in Kathmandu for the night before and we had arranged to meet the following morning to set off by bus to the mountains. Unfortunately my partner and I had come down with a very nasty case of food poisoning or stomach bug during the night and we had to call on Tika. He was fantastic and got medication to help settle us from the pharmacy. He also cancelled out trek at our request, as we were too ill to move for a couple of days. Tika kept calling in on us and making sure we were comfortable whilst we recovered. When we recovered Tika suggested some alternative easier day walks for us to cope with, which were beautiful and just the right level of difficulty for us, as we were weak from sickness. The care and service Tika provided was amazing, he cared for us as a friend as well as guide. I am so grateful to Tika for making the time we had with him so easy and enjoyable. When I go back to Nepal again I will most definitely be contacting Admiral Adventure Treks again.
