Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Itinerary, Cost in 2024/25 Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek has captivated thousands of people around the world due to its true-to-life experience. It satisfies travelers' interest to witness the natural beauty that Mother Nature has gifted us.

Annapurna Base Camp is located in the north-central part of Nepal, and the trek route to the base camp encompasses peak chains that include Mount Annapurna (8091 m) along with 16 other peaks over 7000 m.

The entire views of the ranges of Annapurna are very fascinating, especially during the dawn. The enigma & magnificence of the Annapurna Region is almost unimaginable! It’s just magnificent beyond belief.

Mount Annapurna is the tenth-highest mountain in the world. An amalgam view of the mountain peaks, landscapes, tropical and alpine vegetation, rare floras, faunas, and nature makes trekking to Annapurna Base Camp unique in all aspects.

A wide range of natural landscapes, and steep, rugged, and beautiful mountains are just some of the highlights that trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp has to offer. Annapurna Base Camp Trek 14 days is an ideal way to enjoy the Himalayas and the hospitality of Nepalese people.

Relative to other hiking trails, the route here is also well-developed and you can observe different cultures and customs.

Why Annapurna Base Camp Trek 14 days?

  • Learn about Nepalese history, customs, and hospitality.

  • Breathtaking views of Mt. Annapurna, Nilgiri, Baraha Peak, Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, and Hiunchuli as well as Annapurna glacier’s periphery.

  • Experience a classical tea house trekking adventure where you will stay in local-run lodges.

  • An excellent opportunity to engage with locals, learn about Buddhist culture in the villages, and sample the local cuisine.

  • Annapurna Conservation Area, home to 1226 species of plants, 102 mammals, 474 birds, 22 amphibians, and many more, will also provide sightings of many rare floras and faunas.

  • Experience the sheer beauty of the diverse Himalayan landscape while hiking through remote villages, fairy-tale forests, vast moorlands cut by cascading rivers, and the blue-hued peaks of base camp as the journey takes you through alpine woodland, dense bamboo forests, rhododendron groves, an oak forest, and much more.

  • From the impressive heights of Poon Hill, witness a dazzling sunrise over the Annapurna ranges – an early-in-the-morning hike to this prime location would be well worth the effort.

  • Managed in conformity with the provisions that ensure respectful, secure, and appropriate working practices.

  • Although the snow cover on most routes leading to the base camp poses little risk, it is prudent to exercise caution during the journey. Annapurna Base Camp's 14-day Trek would appear to be relatively smooth at lower elevations, but it will be packed with snow and additional challenges at higher elevations.

Best Season for ABC Trek

The months of the spring season are ideal for trekking. Additionally, since it is centered at such a high altitude, weather conditions are extremely variable, but the autumn season has relatively consistent weather.

As a result, autumn is considered to be the best time to go trekking, even so, early summer could also be considered an appropriate time due to ever-changing climate variations. Before deciding on a trek to Annapurna Base Camp, suggested the considerations.

Considerations on 14 days ABC Trek adventure!

  • Annapurna Base Camp 14 days Trek includes 14 days of intensive hiking. You'll be hiking for up to 8 hours a day and at altitudes over 4000 meters at times, so be mindful of altitude sickness.

  • Preparation is recommended ahead of time because the trek takes place at a high altitude, and it is important to be in excellent physical condition and health.

  • The trekking lodges, aka teahouses, are very simple, with only the most basic amenities. Luxuries such as hot water and Wi-Fi may not always be available and may require extra payment.

  • Your requirement differs based on the season you're trekking in, so it's crucial to be well organized.

  • The Annapurna Base Camp trek has a prominent route, and you'll encounter a lot of other trekkers and groups along the way, both on the trail and at the teahouses. Other trekking options are available if you prefer a trek with much fewer people and therefore more time spent trekking across communities rather than on a more developed path.

  • The area, which is located in Nepal's north-central region, includes mount ranges that include Mount Annapurna (8091 m) and 16 other peaks over 7000 m. The combination of mountain ranges, landscapes, tropical and alpine vegetation, unique floras, faunas, and wildlife make this an exotic location in every way.

  • In contrast to other hiking trails, this one is well-developed, and you can observe a variety of ethnic people practicing various cultures and customs.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Route

The baseline for the journey is Pokhara, popularly known as Lake Paradise. This beautiful city has an unspoiled vision, and the authorities never overlook city management. Phewa Lake, Nepal's second-largest lake, is among the main tourist destinations. It is also here that you can see many landscapes as well as the majestic mountaineering museum.

The actual ABC trek route, however, begins in Ulleri and continues through Ghorepani (Magar settlements with notable mountain views of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri), Poonhill, and the tremendous Himalayan ranges while passing through beautiful dense rhododendron forest, thick bamboo forest, and oak trees.

On the way to Jomsom, Mustang, we will also have the privilege of seeing the stunning Kali Gandaki Gorge, the world's deepest gorge. Well before you enter the onset point of the trek, you are welcomed with magnificent views of mountains such as Annapurna South, Nilgiri, Baraha Peak, Fishtail, and Hiunchuli!

Several private accommodation lodges are located along the trail to the base camp, situated in front of the Annapurna Glacier. Since most of Annapurna's ranges are exposed, the view from the glacier fringes is incredible.

The Annapurna Conservation Area covers 7600 square kilometers and is home to a diverse range of wildlife. You'll also get to meet a variety of indigenous Nepali tribes and gain some insights into their cultures.

This 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek is moderate in difficulty grade and is the most popular trekking route among all the other trekking destinations.

If you are crossing between Annapurna and Everest base camp, we have a great post that compares the two. Please follow Annapurna Vs Everest Base Camp in our blog post.

Accommodation

Our packages include 3-star Standard category accommodation with breakfast on a twin/double sharing basis. This accommodation is available in the cities such as Kathmandu and Pokhara. However, the accommodation can be modified as per the traveler’s interest, budget, and availability. Luxurious hotels comfortable guesthouses, lodges, and homestays are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. 

During the trek, we provide the best available, neat, and clean lodges and teahouses. Until Chhomrong private rooms with an attached bathroom are available in a couple of places. However, after Chhomrong, there is less availability of attached bathrooms. From bamboo camp to Annapurna Base Camp, there is a very limited number of tea houses so during the peak season, you might have to share a room with separate beds with others due to the lesser availability of rooms and more number of trekkers. Likewise, a hot shower facility is available throughout the trek but after the bamboo camp to the ABC, some places might charge you a small amount for the bucket of hot water. 

Meals During Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Breakfast is included with the accommodation. But for lunch, dinner, and other beverages in the cities, it is up to the travelers to choose among the various varieties of cuisines available. We do not include it in our package. 

But during the trek, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the package and we allow our clients to choose from the menu according to their preferences in Ala-kat. In the lower region of the trek, Nepali, Indian, Continental, Tibetan, and a few Western cuisines are available but as we start moving forward, traditional Nepali dishes are available, and could be nice to try a couple of times :). This dish is called Dal-Bhat and it consists of Lentil Soup, Rice, Vegetable curries, Meat (optional), and Pickles. This dish is prepared from hygienic food found in the mountains and is very healthy and filled with nutrients which is vital for the trek.

Excellent! 無得頂!! 太牛逼!!

Trekking in ABC is absolutely the best and most amazing trip I have experienced!!

如果去尼泊爾唔行個山你就白黎一趟喇!我同個friend 2個女仔 總共行左 9日,無想像中咁難行,路上遇到 最細既有 5~6歲 既小朋友,最老既 70~80呀婆都黎行,D韓國大媽行得比我地仲快。 路上面既風景靚到係此生難忘!

Madan 係我遇到最有趣既 Tour guide! 佢迷人既 bling bling eyes簡直殺死唔少少女!完左呢個trip 之後 ,我恨不得馬上 再黎一個 EBC trekking! 而我一定會搵佢做我既Tour guide!

Tips: 旺季既話, 小心有D point 住宿會full 哂,如果唔係可能要摸黑行去下個point ,如果行得慢 可以叫個 guide 行先你一步去 攞定位先, 咁樣就安全好多! 因為當年有幾個韓國登山者遇險,某D時候佢地既家人會成團咁一齊去ABC 拜祭, 我就試過因為佢地人太多令某D point 客棧爆滿, 結果摸黑行去下個point 但係果邊都無客房最終安排我地訓柴房。

Great tour and service. I would recommend our guide Raj to anyone.
Not only did he guide us around Annapurna he also took us out in Kathmandu.

The trek was paced to my own fitness and was an experience that I would love to do again. Not once did I feel uncomfortable as Raj knew a lot about the local areas, knew where to eat and where to stay.

It was a very relaxed way to tackle the mountains.

Thank You raj and team!

Himalayan Trekkers never failed to impress us on service. The director Mr. Raj was very promptful for attending our queries. 4 of us had an awesome 14 days tour for Annapurna Base Camp and was truly satisfied with their service from A -Z.

They have a dedicated team comprised of truly caring hearted people. Shankar, Balakrishna and Raj will always remain in our hearts for their caring and service throughout the journey. It was a family belonging experience with these folks.

Their cost are very much reasonable as well they are very open to discuss on it. I will be booking my Kailash tour with them too. Truly an exceeding expectation team!

ABC Trekking Trip

Tiring but meaningful trekking trip to experience the nature of Nepal. Lots of determination to conquer the trekking route to the ABC, the feeling at ABC is marvelous as it gives us a sense of achievement surrounded by Annapurna mountain range. Back to Pokhara by helicopter give us a different feel to a quick recap of the tough journey we had embarked on for the past 7 days making our way to the base camp after conquering many mountains and ridges.

My guide Biplav and porters Yam are helpful to provide our family with all the help needed along the way. Mr. Raj of the agency is also attentive and hears out about our problems faced where he goes the extra mile to get things resolved.
