Although the Annapurna Base Camp trek itself takes only seven days to base camp and back, Royal Himalayan Holidays organizes a fourteen days package inclusive of a sightseeing tour in Kathmandu. Housing at least 7 UNESCO Heritages Sites, this city is filled with ancient treasures! Nepal is filled with intoxicating culture and beautiful traditions all waiting to be discovered on your journey to the Annapurna Base Camp. After enjoying the marvels of Kathmandu this trek in Nepal takes you to the magical lakeside city of Pokhara. The gateway to the Annapurna Mountains and home to the iconic Fishtail Mountain, Mt Machhapuchhre. Strolling around Phewa Lake is just incredible, especially at night. Seeing the lights glitter on the lake’s surface and enjoying one of the charming restaurants is just what you need before starting the trek into the Annapurna Sanctuary! It all begins with a short and scenic drive to Ghandruk, one of the biggest Gurung settlements. After a last check-up on our gear, we head for Chhomrong our first stop. The trail starts off easy, descending down and seeing the entire Modhi Valley just asks for some photos as the views are stunning. We continue upwards of the Modhi Khola (river) and head towards Chhomrung resting at the base of the mighty Himal Chuli. Our next destination will be Dobhan. This amazing village lies up high, but as we get familiar with the trekking trails, to get up we first must go down into an amazing gorge filled with bamboo trees. Following the west side of the river, the trail guides us up until reaching the village. Entering the Annapurna Sanctuary¸ the views lead into the mighty Annapurna South Glacier, an unforgettable sight! After a day of trekking in the Annapurna Sanctuary, we reach our first base camp, Machhapuchhre Base Camp. One option is to camp further up above the glacier for a more unique experience! Please consult during your booking with our Royal Himalayan Holidays booking team, as camping gear is required, which can easily be rented. Continue about one hour from Machhapuchhre Base Camp upwards in order to reach Annapurna Base Camp! It is just incredible seeing the blue roofs of the base camp laying deep within the Annapurna Sanctuary. The Annapurna Base Camp weather depends on in which season you wish to trek in Nepal. But the views as you can imagine are unbelievably beautiful. After we spend some time enjoying our victory of reaching the Annapurna Base Camp we head back down towards Deurali, Sinuwa, and Jhinudanda. At Jhinudanda there are natural hot water springs awaiting you! A great way to rest and recuperate from the trek. The next day we trek a short distance to Motkyu from where we drive back to Pokhara.
