trekking opportunities. The Mardi Himal Trek, Annapurna Circuit, and Ghorepani Poon Hill
Trek all begin from the lakeside city of Pokhara, which serves as the gateway to the
Annapurnas. But it’s the Annapurna Base Camp Trek that best captures the imagination
of visitors from all over the world. While many travelers take up to two weeks to complete
this unforgettable hike, we’ve developed an alternative, shorter itinerary—and for travelers
who don’t have several weeks to devote to their trek in Nepal, our nine-day Annapurna
Base Camp Trek is perhaps the best option in the entirety of the Himalayas. Because the
trek reaches a maximum elevation of just over 4,000 meters, it’s also an accessible
itinerary for hikers who aren’t quite ready for the high mountain passes of the Everest
Base Camp Trek or Langtang Valley Trek. Read on to discover what you can expect on
the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
What can you expect on the Annapurna Base Camp

Trek?

An expedition into the western Himalayas of Nepal rewards travelers with the opportunity
to explore a remarkable diversity of ecosystems: subtropical rhododendron forests, alpine
river valleys, and sheer mountain heights. Our destination is the Annapurna Sanctuary: a
sacred amphitheater of Himalayan peaks where you’ll come face-to-face with the world’s
tenth-highest mountain. Annapurna I rises to a staggering 8,091 meters in elevation, and
there’s no experience like standing in the mountain’s shadow as dawn breaks across the
sky. You’ll also enjoy first-rate views of Annapurna II and III, Machapuchare, Annapurna
South, and even more of the highest mountains in the western Himalayas. But the
Annapurna Base Camp Trek has more to offer than splendid scenery; traveling through
this part of Nepal will also introduce you to the culture and traditions of the people who
live here. We’ll visit remote mountain villages, relax in isolated hot springs, and enjoy the
scenic, pastoral beauty of hillside terraces where rice and millet have been grown for
centuries.

Camp Trek

Consider why you want to trek in Nepal: are you drawn to the chance to meet our
country’s famously friendly people? Are you fascinated by the historical and architectural
wonders of our cities? Or do the mighty Himalayan mountains call to you? Whatever your
desire, Alpine Ramble Treks will work with you to craft the trekking itinerary of your
dreams. We’re proud to create bespoke, private trekking packages, using the skills of
dedicated guides and porters to ensure that your trek is a success. And because our
guides are intimately familiar with the terrain of the Himalayas, we can also build some
flexibility into your itinerary. If you need to stop early one day or prefer to trek a little
further, we can change our plans on the fly. Your guide will ensure that you’re ascending
at an appropriate pace, always keeping your safety as our first priority. So when you’re
ready to start planning your own Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Best Time of Year for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Trekking seasons in Nepal are largely dictated by the summer monsoon, and our
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is no exception. The monsoon typically lasts from June to
August, and most visitors consequently choose to hike during the spring months of
February to May or the autumn months of September to November. These are the best
times of year to enjoy the perfect combination of comfortable temperatures and clear
mountain views. But you can hike in the Annapurnas at any time of year, and the snow-
laden trails of winter are just as mysterious and evocative as the mist-shrouded hillsides
of summer. Whenever you choose to travel, rest assured that Alpine Ramble Treks will
put together a trekking adventure that will surpass even your highest expectations.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek Difficulty
Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most accessible hikes in the Himalayas.
Most travelers in good health and reasonable physical fitness will be able to complete this
itinerary without issue, and no previous trekking experience is required. However, this trek

does reach altitudes higher than 4,000 meters, and it’s important to drink lots of water and
get plenty of rest in order to let your body adjust naturally to the increased elevation. As
always, your guide will look after your progress and ensure that you enjoy a safe and
rewarding trek to Annapurna Base Camp.

If this itinerary isn’t quite right for you, Alpine Ramble Treks is also proud to offer a host of
alternate treks in this region. If you’d like to spend more time in the mountains to see
fantastic sights like Poon Hill, consider our 13-Day Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. For an
even more epic adventure, take a look at our 14-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek. And if you
