Itinerary

Experience the ever-changing wonders of Nepal on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, a journey crafted for young adults and seasoned explorers. Begin your adventure amid lowland rice terraces and climb steadily into the heart of the Annapurna massif, where snow-capped peaks surround you in an awe-inspiring amphitheater at 4,230 meters.

Travel through Gurung, Thakali, and Magar villages, gaining insight into their traditions while marveling at the region’s rich flora and fauna. The trek’s moderate difficulty makes it accessible to those able to walk 5-6 hours daily, with a day set aside for proper acclimatization.

What sets this trekking tour apart is its striking contrast of landscapes—lush forests give way to stark mountain grandeur—making every day on the trail a new discovery. For those who journey during spring, the forests burst into a colorful bloom, adding another magical dimension to this memorable trip.

An amazing lifetime experience of Annapurna base camp trek

We embarked on a remarkable two-week journey to Nepal, expertly organized by Mr. Gokul of this tour company. Despite some last-minute changes on our part, he remained incredibly accommodating and patient throughout. We were thoroughly impressed and satisfied with the accommodations, tours, and activities he arranged for us. Exploring Kathmandu with our knowledgeable tour guide, Siri, was an enriching experience. His insights into the city's vibrant history added depth to our exploration. Our short but amazing flight to Pokhara was nothing short of unforgettable, thanks to the breathtaking views of mountains and valleys along the way. Mr. Kumar & Botie ( not sure the spelling) were exceptional skills ensured our safety, and the delicious food we enjoyed during the journey, especially the Dal Bhat, left a lasting impression. Our stay in Pokhara was equally pleasant, with a well-located hotel providing easy access to shops, the lakeside, and various dining options. Exploring temples and cruising on Fewa Lake added to the charm of our visit. However, the pinnacle of our trip was undoubtedly the journey to Annapurna Base Camp. The awe-inspiring landscapes and towering mountains along the route left us spellbound. Mr. Kumar, our experienced trekking guide, played a crucial role in making this leg of our journey truly unforgettable, sharing his expertise on the mountains, trekking routes, and religious sites. We owe the success of our trip to the seamless coordination and outstanding arrangements made by Mr. Gokul, Ms. Ashmita and all the staff. Their dedication created memories that will last a lifetime, and we eagerly anticipate our next adventure in Nepal. Love you all !!!

Great experience!

We booked our trek in advance to our visit to Nepal and it really was fantastic. Everything was so well taken care of - the pace of the trek, the places we would stay including food, and especially our guide and porter. Bishnu and Gopi were so friendly and were very alert to our needs. Would definitely recommend them to anybody who is considering the ABC trek.

Excellent Guide and Magnificent Views

First time trekking in Nepal with equally inexperienced friends and we did the ABC trek with the help of local tour operator. The whole experience was great - Gokul was very responsive from the beginning and accommodative to our changes and requests. Special shout out to our guide Chhabi who was extremely patient and resourceful which made the trek so much more manageable.
