Itinerary

For trekkers dreaming of standing amidst Himalayan giants but short on time, the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers an unforgettable adventure. This journey takes you deep into the heart of Nepal’s Annapurna Sanctuary, where towering snow-capped peaks—including the iconic Annapurna I, Annapurna South, and Machapuchare (Fishtail)—surround you in a breathtaking natural amphitheater. The trek begins near Pokhara at Nayapul, following the lively Modi Khola river and ascending through lush forests, vibrant villages, and along picturesque cobblestone paths.

As you make your way up the canyon, the scenery gradually opens, revealing increasingly dramatic mountain views. The switchbacks from Ghandruk to Chomrong, the friendly calls of local birds, and the welcoming sight of red-and-white trail markers make navigation easy and enjoyable. The route continues past suspension bridges and through blossoming rhododendron forests, offering glimpses of local wildlife and village life.

The final approach to Annapurna Base Camp, perched at 4,130 meters, is nothing short of awe-inspiring—trekkers are rewarded with 360-degree vistas of Himalayan giants such as Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South, Annapurna Fang, and the legendary Machapuchare. The relatively short duration of this trek makes it accessible to experienced hikers with limited vacation time, while still delivering the full majesty and adventure of a classic Nepal trek.

A key highlight of this tour package is the immersive mountain experience, with fewer crowds as you ascend, and opportunities to spot both wildlife and the vibrant culture of the Annapurna region. This trip is perfect for those who want a condensed yet comprehensive Himalayan trekking adventure, promising memories that will stay with you long after you leave the mountains behind.

Abwechslungsreich und atemberaubend schön

Der Annapurna Base Camp Trek in nur 7 Tagen ist etwas fr alle, die wenig Zeit haben und trotzdem in den Genuss der wunderschnen Landschaft auf dem Weg zum Annapurna Basislager kommen mchten. Die Menschen und die atemberaubenden Aussichten machen diesen Trek zu etwas ganz besonderem. Die Bewohner der Gegend, sind wie fast alle Nepalesen die man trifft, unheimlich herzlich und gastfreundlich. Der Hhepunkt dieses Treks ist natrlich das Annapurna Basislager. Es gibt vermutlich nicht viele Mglichkeiten innerhalb von vier Tagen einem 8000er gegenberzustehen. Wahrscheinlich ist dieser Trek die schnste davon.
