Description
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek — also known as ABC Trek — is an 11-day hike in the beautiful Annapurna range. We’ll pass by traditional Nepali villages while we walk surrounded by lush vegetation and the stunning snowy peaks of the Himalayas.
The trek will start from Pokhara. During the next 10 days, our trek will take us through beautiful valleys. We’ll walk by glacier-fed rivers and pass by several of the Himalayas’ most famous peaks, including Annapurna (8091m), Annapurna South (7219m), Gangapurna (7455m) and Annapurna III. We’ll also pass by the scenic viewpoint of Ghorepani Poon Hill.
The trek combines imposing Himalayan vistas with the possibility of catching a glimpse of everyday life in this remote corner of the world. We’ll pass by small villages and farms where you’ll enjoy the hospitality of the local people.
On our way down from the Annapurna Base Camp, we’ll pass by the terraced Modi Khola and, from there, to Nayapul, from where we can catch a bus back to Pokhara.
You need a good fitness level to be able to enjoy this hike. Take into account that we will spend a good portion of the trek above 3000 meters, so that adds a significant challenge in terms of acclimatization.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to join me on the famous ABC trek! Request to book this trip and we’ll start planning your trip to Nepal. I guarantee an unforgettable experience surrounded by some of the world’s most famous mountains.

Mountain Guide
Hi! I'm Jyamchang, IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guide. I work together with a team of certified and professional mountain and trekking guides. If I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will take great care of you.
I come from the East part of Nepal, between Makalu (8,470m) and Kangchenjunga (8,586m). I am IFMGA/UIAGM fully certified since 2009.
I have 20+ experience of climbing in the Himalaya. I’ve climbed Mt Everest (7 times), Mt Cho Oyu in Tibet (2 times), Mt Ama Dablam (8 times), Baruntse (2 times), Island peak (15 times), Lobuche (10 times), Pokhalde (10 times), Mera peak (10 times), Mehera peak (5 times), Chulu far east (3 times), Mt Shishapangma until camp 3, Manaslu until 7200m, and Chulu West, Lhakpa ri and other another few more times.
I also have extensive experience of climbing in Europe: France, Italy, UK and Norway (where I work for three months during the summer as a glacier guide).
I'm also a technical mountain rescue coordinator for the 8000's.
It will be my pleasure to guide you through your journey whether for trekking, peak climbing or any mountaineering expedition. Get in touch and let's discuss about the purpose of your trip.

What people are saying about this trip
Julia
Excellent guide, à la fois attentionné et motivant. Il a su s'adapter à notre rythme tout en nous stimulant suffisamment pour qu'on atteigne nos objectifs quotidiens. Il nous faisait un briefing journalier avec le programme du lendemain et ses difficultés éventuelles et une vérification de notre adaptation à l'altitude (pouls, saturation en oxygène). Dès le premier jour, il a tout pris en charge tant du point de vue de l'organisation des transports que des hôtels sans faux pas.
