Itinerary

Short on time but craving a classic Himalayan adventure? The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is your answer, packing breathtaking views, cultural encounters, and a taste of Nepalese hospitality into just eight days. Hike through enchanting rhododendron forests, pass terraced farmlands, and marvel at the amphitheater of Annapurna’s towering peaks, including Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri.

Highlights abound: soak in a natural hot spring at Jhinu, revel in the riot of blooming rhododendrons during spring, and enjoy comfortable accommodations in well-equipped teahouses along the well-marked route. Led by experienced guides and supported by friendly porters, this moderate trek is accessible to anyone with reasonable fitness and a love for walking.
