The Annapurna Sanctuary trek also known as the Annapurna Base Camp trek is famous for trekkers.
A.B.C Trekking 10-12 days :-
Duration : - 10-12
Max. Elevation: - 4210m
Style of trek : - Medium/Hard
Start : - Nayapul
Finished :- Nayapul or phedi
1. Kathmandu to Pokhara
Fly or drive to Pokhara, from where you will depart on your trek. Overnight in Pokhara.
2.Pokhara to Tikhe Dhungha (1525m)
Drive for an hour to Naya Pul and commence our trek to Birethanti, a large and prosperous town beside the Modi River. We head up the main trail to Sudami where we climb gradually up the side of the valley, reaching Hile (1495m) before pushing on to Tirkhe Dhunga (4-5 hrs).
3.Trek to Ghorepani (2830m)
First part of the day is hard because we have to climb Urlerri hill than spend a pleasant day’s walking, trekking through rhododendron and oak forests and across the Bhurungdi Khola stream before making a short, final climb to Nangethanti (2460m). After lunch in Nangethanti we head up to Ghorepani (2830m) (5-6hrs).
4. Ghorepani/Poon Hill to Tadapani(2600m)
I will wake you up early for the 1 hour walk up to Poonhill, where one may witness the sunrise for a lifetime memory. Over 30 snow-capped peaks of the whole Annapurna range can be seen from here. Back to Hotel breakfast then starting trekking to Tadapani.
This area is one of the finest and most famous trekking areas of Nepal. The Annapurna ranges and Machhapuchre (Fishtail) dominate the mountain views through glimpses farther east of Lamjung Himal and the Manaslu range (5-6hrs)
5. Tadapani to Chhomrong (2210m)
Dropping down from Tadapani Gurjung the route offers good views of the upper Modi valley. The path then starts the long ascent high above the west bank of the Modi Khola. We then arrive in the village of Chhomrong (2210m) which lies tucked at the very base of Himal Chuli. Chomrong is the last permanent settlement in the valley (5 hrs).
6.Chhomrong to Doban (2540m)
From Chhomrong the trail descends until Chhomrong Khola, then the trail begins a slow climb as we head up to our first destination – Sinuwa. We then proceed to Kuldi Ghar (2470m) about 2 1/2 to 3 hrs walking. The trek now enters the upper Modi Khola valley. We can expect snow from here on in the winter months (Dec-Febr.) We continue our trek going down to Bamboo through an uninhabited forest area, scattered with big rocks. From Bamboo the road will take us through bamboo and rhododendron forests to Doban (2540m) (6 hrs).
7..Doban to Deurali (3170)
After climbing 300 meters up we will first pas the Himalayan Hotel at 2840 meters. We then continue on to Hinko Cave (3100m) and then onto Deurali. During this day if we are lucky we can see interesting wildlife like deer, jackals and peacocks. Here we will also have great views of Machhapuchhare mountain (6997m) and you will understand why the translation of its name means fishtail mountain. In Deurali we will stay overnight (5:30 hrs
8.Deurali to Annapurna Base camp(4210m)
Today we climb on past the Machhapuchhare Base Camp (which isn't really a base camp since climbing the mountain is not permitted) to the Annapurna Base Camp. This area is called the Annapurna Sanctuary since it is totally surrounded by mountains. From here it is a two-hour trek to Annapurna Base camp, which offers spectacular views (5:30 hrs).
9.Annapurna Base Camp descend to Sinuwa
weak up and take some nice picture of Annapurna south, Annapurna etc.. then our way back to Sinuwa, it’s more easy as we descend the most part of our route (5 hrs)
10.Sinuwa to Jhinu Hotspring
11. Jhinu to Tolkha
12. Tolkha to Phedi drive back to pokhara
