Oct–Nov, Mar–May
Drive 1.5 hrs to Nayapul trailhead. Trek through terraced farmland and traditional Gurung villages to Tikhedhunga beside a cascading waterfall.
The 7-day ABC Trek is our fastest-paced Annapurna Base Camp itinerary — reaching the 4,130 m Annapurna Sanctuary from Pokhara in the shortest responsible timeframe. The route follows the standard Modi Khola valley approach via Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, Chhomrong, Deurali, and ABC, with Jhinu Danda hot springs on the descent. Daily stages are 6–8 hours of active walking — appropriate for experienced trekkers with prior altitude exposure (3,500+ m preferred).
The Annapurna Sanctuary amphitheatre — Annapurna I, Machapuchare, Hiunchuli, and twelve peaks above 6,000 m encircling a single viewpoint — is the destination. The 7-day schedule delivers it without the padding of longer programmes, for trekkers who are confident in their altitude acclimatisation history.
Prior altitude experience: Recommended. Best seasons: October–November and March–May. Max altitude: ABC 4,130 m.
Pickup
This trip begins in Pokhara, Nepal’s lakeside trekking town. Most international flights land in Kathmandu, about 200 km away (25 minutes by plane or 6 to 8 hours by tourist bus), so you can either make your own way to Pokhara or let us collect you in Kathmandu.
Already in Pokhara? We collect you from your hotel at no charge.
Landing in Kathmandu? We meet you at the airport or your hotel and get you to the start.
Prices are per person and added to the trip price when you book. “We quote” means the price depends on your flight time and hotel, so our team confirms it with you before the trip. It is never added to your payment without asking.
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
Best season. Crystal-clear skies, stable weather, spectacular mountain views. Peak crowds on EBC and ABC trails.
Spring (Mar–May)
Second-best season. Rhododendrons in bloom, good visibility. Slightly warmer than autumn. Pre-monsoon clouds build in afternoon.
Winter (Dec–Feb)
Cold but uncrowded. Clear skies and great views. High passes may be snowed-in. Lower altitude treks (Ghorepani, Langtang lower) remain open.
Monsoon (Jun–Aug)
Wet season. Trails slippery, leeches on lower sections, views often obscured. Not recommended except for rain-shadow regions (Upper Mustang).

NPR 2,000 (about US$15)Required for all trekkers in Nepal

Seven days was exactly right. Our guide Rajan never let the group feel rushed — we spent an extra hour at Tadapani because the cloud was doing something extraordinary with the light. By the time we hit base camp at 4,130m I felt genuinely prepared, not just relieved to have made it. The best week I've spent outdoors in twenty years of hiking.

7日間のABCトレッキングは最高の体験でした!ガイドの明まさんは常に笑顔で私たちをサポートしてくれました。高山病の予防もしっかりしてくれて安心でした。チョムロンから竹林を通り抜けてABCに到着した瞬間は感動で涙が出そうでした。アンナプルナのパノラマは一生忘れられません。日本人旅行者に強くお勧めします!(The 7-day ABC trek was the greatest experience! Guide Ama always supported us with a smile. The moment we arrived at ABC through the bamboo forest — I was moved to tears. I strongly recommend to Japanese travelers!)

Mate, just do it. I spent six months agonising over which company to use and which route to take. Travel Himalaya Nepal answered every single question I emailed within a few hours, never once trying to upsell or push a more expensive option. The guide they assigned us — Karma — was one of the best humans I've met. Seven days, zero issues, one of the great experiences of my life. The Annapurna sanctuary at sunset is something else entirely.

Sept jours parfaits dans l'Himalaya. Travel Himalaya Nepal a organisé chaque détail avec soin — notre guide Pemba était passionné, drôle et d'une compétence technique irréprochable. La montée depuis Chhomrong à travers la forêt de bambous était magique. Arriver au camp de base entouré d'un amphithéâtre de 7000m et plus est quelque chose que je n'oublierai jamais. Prix transparents, aucune mauvaise surprise. (Seven perfect days in the Himalayas. Guide Pemba was passionate, funny and technically irreproachable. Arriving at base camp surrounded by an amphitheater of peaks above 7000m is something I will never forget.)
