As you wake up and have breakfast in the hotel, we will first go for a drive from Pokhara to Ulleri via Nayapul, Birethanti.

Just imagine walking through the ancient stone paths, past cascading waterfalls, and through dense forests and quiet villages. Wouldn't that be something best to do on one of the less traveled trekking routes? In the evening, you will reach Ulleri and check in at the hotel.

Visiting the Annapurna Trekking region and not going for a Poonhill viewpoint hike makes no sense at all.

It takes an average trekker about 45 to 1 hour for us to reach the top of Poon Hill Viewpoint. From here, the trekkers can witness one of the best sunrise views.

How is the trek to the Annapurna Base Camp with Nepal Unique Treks going? We believe that the team makes pa erfect arrangement for the trekkers. Being on the sixth day of this trek means that we are just 2 days away from the Annapurna Base Camp. Yup, it is something to be excited about. However, as we have ascended to a little higher altitude, we recommend the trekkers be patient and follow the guides strictly.
After breakfast, the guides lead you on a journey that will be more of a descent than ascent. Yes, we will descend to an altitude of 2165 meters (Chomrong) from 2,630 meters (Tadapani). Due to that reason, the walk on this day will be comparatively easy and the walk will be shorter. However, there will be no compromise in the adventure, experience, and excitement, that's for sure!
It takes about 5 hours for us to cover this distance of 10 kilometers on the sixth day. This means that the trekkers will reach Chomrong in the afternoon, giving them much time to explore the village, feel the cool breeze, and prepare themselves for a trip to the Himalayan Hotel on the next day.
Guesthouse Food Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Elevation 2890
The seventh day marks one of the most remarkable days of the entire Annapurna Base Camp Trekking trail as we finally step into the highest point before the ABC. Popularly known as one of the best resting spots on the ABC trail, Hotel Himalaya sits between two villages; Dovan and Deurali. We leave Chomring on the seventh day immediately after the trekkers have their breakfast. Following the Chomrong River, our walk becomes so exciting, scenic, and adventurous, that you might not have even imagined that. Also, remember that all this is happening below the altitude of 3000 meters.
Walking through a trail mixed up with ascents, descents, slopes, and stone steps, we delve deeper into the Annapurna Sanctuary. Moreover, the trekkers also get chances to cross the Chomrong River on a suspension bridge during this section of the 13-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek. On your way to the Himalayas from Chomrong, you will also come across some beautifully settled Magar and Gurung villages, including Sinuwa and Bamboo.
Even though most parts of this section of the trail are somewhat leveled, the final part requires the trekkers to go for a steady climb. Once you do that, you can see yourself walking across narrow valleys and stumbling upon some small wooden bridges. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Well, that's how we reach Hotel Himalaya from Chomrong on the seventh day of the ABC Trekking journey.

Today's walk will be like the famous proverb; two birds with one stone! How? Well, let us tell you. On the eighth day of this trekking package, we finally reached the Annapurna Base Camp. However, before that, we will also come across the Machhapuchhre Base Camp. This means that we will get to ascend on two different base camps in a single day.
Though comparatively shorter, this section of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers you all the adventure and excitement. Just imagine waking up at an altitude of 2890 meters above sea level knowing that you have two base camps to conquer! Doesn't that sound amazing? Well, this is just the day for that. Our journey on the trail begins with a gentle climb through some lush vegetation and dense forest. However, as you reach higher and higher on the trail, the trees and vegetation start becoming sparse.
The trail first takes us to a village named Deurali from Himalaya. Deurali is a small village settled between huge rocks and a narrow valley. While reaching Deurali, you would have already passed through small streams, and wooden bridges, and walked along a trail carved beside cliffs. So, yes, adventure never stops in the trek to ABC.
Keep in mind that the trail from Hotel Himalaya to Deurali can sometimes be prone to avalanches and landslides during the rainy and monsoon season. So, be safe and before leaving Himalaya, check for the trail updates as well.
As we leave Deurali, the trail converts itself into a wider and open form. Moreover, the trekkers can witness a dramatic glacial valley. Not to mention, it will almost be like watching any animated movie because you will be entering into a different universe. As you keep ascending the trail, you can see the giant Machhapuchhre mountain approaching near and near. This scene, without any doubt,t makes you more excited,d and adrenaline rises to the peak.
What more to see on this trail? An approximate distance of 4 kilometers to cover within 2 hours, that's how the hike from Deurali to Machhapuchhre goes for us. In a while, you will walk beside the Modi Khola River cutting through a deep gorge with occasional wooden bridges and stream crossings. As you ascend higher and higher, you can sense the temperature decreasing and the air getting colder.
Again, this section of the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking trail can be prone to avalanches and rockfalls. Therefore, we recommend that trekkers be highly active and follow the guides very strictly.
Crossing some amazing sections of the trek to Annapurna Base Camp, we finally reach the Machhapuchhre Base Camp located at an altitude of 3,700 meters above sea level. Do you know what MBC looks like? Well, it's a wide plateau sitting beneath the mighty Machhapuchhre Mountain (6,993 meters). After reaching the top, you can take your time to witness the beauty of this base camp. We recommend the trekkers take as many photos and videos as possible.
Now that we have conquered one of the two base camps of this adventurous trekking package, it's time to ascend to the second and final base camp. Yes, on this day itself, we will also ascend to the Annapurna Base Camp. This section of the map requires us to cover a total distance of 2.9 kilometers, walking past some of the most difficult and strenuous sections of the ABC Trekking route.
As we leave MBC, the trail goes for a gradual ascent which ultimately takes us to the open alpine valley. Well, let us tell you that this stretch of the trail does not have any green vegetation or forests. Due to the extreme climatic conditions in this area and of course, the altitude, the risk of altitude sickness also significantly increases. What to do in such a case? Well, just keep a slow and steady pace, listen to the guides, and follow their advice. That's it!
Annapurna Base Camp is located at an altitude of 4130 meters above sea level. Due to that reason, this base camp offers magnificent views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The first thing that you notice upon reaching ABC is a 360-degree mountain panorama around the wide plateau. Even after being at such a high altitude, this base camo sits a little lower than the EBC. Due to that reason, the weather conditions here might not be as bad as that of the Everest Base Camp.
Once you stand on this base camp after 7 straight days of alpine trekking adventures, you can feel the heart being happy. So, why not make this day a little more exciting? How? For that, we will spend the night in a tent at the Annapurna Base Camp itself. Doesn't that sound amazing?
In the meantime, we recommend the trekkers check out many more things around the base camp, including the prayer flags, and stone lodges. Until then, the guides from Nepal Unique Treks set up tents for you to spend the night. In the evening, you can also witness one of the greatest sunset views of your life. After that, we will have dinner and settle for the night in the tent.

So are we returning from the Annapurna Base Camp today? Yup, as you wake up and have a delicious breakfast with an outstanding sunrise view, the guides take you on a descending trail toward Bamboo. Do you remember this village? Well, even if you don't remember, let us tell you that we had been to this village while ascending from Chomrong to Hotel Himalaya.
As this is a descending journey, the journey will be comparatively easy and quick from this day onward. Covering a total distance of 14 kilometers and walking for about 6 hours, the trekkers will enter Bamboo, a beautiful settlement nestled in a quiet and shaded forest. Let us tell you that Bamboo sits as a perfect place for us to rest after such a high altitude ascend and descend.
During your walk on this day, you can witness the environment gradually transitioning from alpine barren lands into thick rhododendron, oak, and bamboo forests. Moreover, some smooth and sweet sounds of birds chirping and the air getting warmer make this walk even better and easier. Within the next few hours, you will finally reach Bamboo, check in at the hotel, and utilize the rest of the day to take some long, deep breaths and relax. Do you know what more you can do at this time? Stroll around the village, interact with the locals, and try some locally prepared delicacies as well.

It's the tenth day in the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking package, approaching closer and closer to the end of the package as well. This section of the trail is mostly downhill. However, we will also have to go for a short and quick ascent on this day. On the way, we pass through several villages, including Sinuwa and Chomrong, villages that we have already been to. Moreover, Chomrong will also be the place for us to take a quick break and lunch.
From Chomrong, we will again go for another descent where the trail takes us through some terraced hillsides and vibrant greenery.

Are you excited to go for this off-the-beaten trek to the Annapurna Base Camp? Well, there is something you must know before heading on this trail, and do you know what that is? The best season for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Trekking on such a high-altitude map like this one requires proper planning and preparation, and the season stands as one of the most important factors.
If you ask us about the best time to go for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, here is what we have to say:
If you want to go for a high-altitude trekking adventure in Nepal, the autumn season, which falls between September and November, or the Spring season (March to May), stands as the best choice. During this season, you can expect clear skies offering stunning views of the Himalayas. Moreover, as the temperature remains mild with the weather being dry, you will also be in for a comparatively easy trek with a better experience. Due to such pleasant weather and climatic conditions, the landscapes also remain very enjoyable and scenic.
Also, do you know what is best during this season? Well, during these months, two of the most significant Nepali festivals, Dashain and Tihar fall between these months. Just imagine walking through rhododendron blossoms, and tracks full of greenery before reaching the base camp of Mount Annapurna. These two seasons are perfect for walking on the ABC Trail.
During these seasons, you might have to go through some serious rainfall, making the trail very slippery and leech-infested. Moreover, the temperature and climatic conditions also do not sit in the trekkers' favor. Do you know why? Well, imagine ascending to such a high altitude and not getting to see any mountains because of the cloudy sky and rainy days. Also, in these seasons, the days become too hot with scorching sunlight, and the night is as cold as ice. Therefore, we do not recommend that trekkers choose these seasons for the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
If you love adventures and want to go for a little extra adrenaline rush, we recommend you go for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek during the winter season. Winter season, with an icy climate, snowy weather, and a lot of tea houses closed, stands as the perfect season for adventure lovers. However, this season is not recommended for new trekkers, even if you love adventures. If you choose to ascend this trail during the winter season, be prepared to overcome some avalanches and rockfalls as well.
One of the most important factors to make any trek or travel doable is the food and accommodation available. On the Annapurna Circuit Trekking route, we will find several tea houses, hotels, guesthouses, and lodges that offer accommodation and food of the highest order. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, you can expect Nepal Unique Treks to arrange a three-star level hotel for your stay. However, as we ascend on the trail, the trekkers will have to make some minor compromises regarding accommodation facilities.
However, we make sure to arrange the best hotels, guesthouses, and tea houses for accommodation and meals throughout the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking journey. The trekkers can expect local Nepali cuisines like Dal Bhaat, Tarkaari Achaar, etc for lunch and dinner. For breakfast, you can expect the hotels and guesthouses to provide boiled eggs, curd, milk, tea, coffee, bread, etc. Moreover, you can also buy different food on the way from the tea houses.
For accommodation, the hotels and guesthouses offer cozy rooms, with warm and hygienic beds, clean toilets (both attached and separate), and proper room services. However, on the Annapurna Base Camp, we will spend a night in a tent settled by the Sherpa guides.
Besides room, toilet, and food, the trekkers also need some basic services to stay happy and go on the trail. These services or facilities include internet, WiFi, mobile data, electricity, etc. Not to mention, the Nepal Unique Treks make sure that all the hotels offer all of these services. So, if you book the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with us, you will be in for one of the most adventurous trekking journeys with all the required facilities arranged perfectly.
Traveling from Kathmandu to Pokhara and back from Pokhara to Kathmandu are two of the longest by-road travels that we do during this trekking journey. If you choose to go via tourist bus, our guides will drive you from your hotel to the bus station in a private vehicle and then to Pokhara on a comfortable tourist bus with good leg space. However, if you choose to go via flight, again, our representatives will drive you to the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Again from Pokhara, we will go for a drive towards Tikhedhunga and Ulleri. In the same way, we will also return either by bus or flight. Well, the decision is all yours! However, let us tell you one thing, in all cases, we make sure to arrange the vehicles of the highest quality.
Whether you plan for an adventurous trek to the base camp of a tall mountain or just for a quick tour, you must go for proper and smart packing.

Well, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek stands tall at an altitude of 4130 meters above sea level. If we ascend to an altitude of 3000 meters, the risks of altitude sickness increase. So, based on that information, the ABC Trek certainly holds the risk of altitude sickness. So, how do you know if you have altitude sickness? Check these points where we have listed the common symptoms of altitude sickness:
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Nausea or loss of appetite
Fatigue
Difficulty sleeping
Shortness of breath at rest
Here is how you can stay safe from altitude sickness during the trek to Annapurna Base Camp:
Make sure that you go for a slow and steady ascend right from the beginning of the trekking route. Moreover, you shall be even more cautious about the pace.
We recommend the trekkers to keep themselves as hydrated as possible. Make sure that you drink 3 to 4 liters of water every day during the ascent.
If you want to go on a safe, experienced, and adventurous trekking journey, you need to stop consuming alcohol and smoking.
Make sure that you maintain a balanced, carb-rich diet to fuel your energy and support acclimatization.
Take proper acclimatization during the ABC Trek as that helps your body adapt to the higher altitude.
If you feel difficulty ascending at such a high altitude, we recommend you take Diamox (Acetazolamide), which prevents Altitude Sickness.
Talk to the guides or our representatives if you require more acclimatization days or changes in itinerary.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is considered to be a moderately difficult trekking route in Nepal's Himalayas. Therefore, if you are someone with a basic fitness level and some prior experience, you can join us on this trek with us.
We recommend that trekkers gain some prior experience before heading to this trek because that helps your body adapt to the higher altitude.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek, located at an altitude of 4130 meters (13,550 meters) above sea level, stands as the highest peak of this trek.
On average, the trekkers need to walk for about 4 to 7 hours throughout the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
If you want to go for a comparatively less difficult ascend to the Annapurna Base Camp, we recommend you choose the Spring season (March to May) or Autumn season (September to November). However, if you love adventure, adrenaline rush, and a little bit of difficulty (mixed with strenuous ascent), you can also opt for the winter season.
Yes, the trekkers need to obtain the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit and Trekkers' Information Management System to go for the ABC Trek.
Hiring a professional and licensed guide is mandatory for any trekking journey in the Nepali Himalayas. However, hiring porters completely depends upon your decision. We recommend the trekkers hire local porters to ensure an easy and efficient trekking experience without carrying heavy loads.
During the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you can expect healthy and hygienic three-time meals with cozy and comfortable hotels, tea houses, or guesthouses during the ABC Trekking journey.
As this will be a journey to an altitude of 4130 meters above sea level, you must be very smart and careful while packing for this trek. We recommend the trekkers pack all the necessary items, including Warm layers, waterproof clothing, trekking boots, a sleeping bag, a headlamp, and basic first aid.
Yes, almost all the hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants offer WiFi, electricity,y, and hot water facilities. Moreover, booking the package with Nepal Unique Treks and Expeditions means ensuring all of these services and facilities throughout the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Though not necessary, we recommend the trekkers to obtain travel insurance. Having travel insurance during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek can save you from spending a hefty amount of money in situations like emergency evacuation, hospital stays, loss of personal belongings, or an extension in the package itinerary.
During this trekking package, Nepal Unique Treks makes arrangements for a proper private vehicle and tourist bus. Moreover, if you choose to travel via flight, we make sure to arrange the flight tickets and boarding passes as well.
