This 10-day Annapurna Base Camp journey is designed for travelers who want to experience Kathmandu’s cultural heritage and one of Nepal’s most iconic Himalayan treks within a compact itinerary.
The journey begins in Kathmandu, where our team will welcome you before taking you on a private heritage tour covering
Swayambhunath,
Kathmandu Durbar Square,
Pashupatinath
and Boudhanath.
From Kathmandu, an early morning flight takes you to Pokhara, followed by a private jeep journey toward Jhinu Danda. From here, the trekking adventure begins through Chhomrong, Bamboo, Dovan and Himalaya, gradually entering the dramatic Annapurna Sanctuary.
The main highlight is reaching Annapurna Base Camp at approximately 4,130 metres, surrounded by Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre and other Himalayan peaks.
After spending the night at Base Camp, the journey gradually descends through Bamboo and Jhinu Danda before returning to Pokhara by private jeep and flying back to Kathmandu.
This is a moderately challenging to strenuous trek because the itinerary gains altitude relatively quickly and includes several long trekking days. It is best suited to travellers with good general fitness and previous hiking experience.
