Following a strenuous climb, we arrive at Machhapuchhre Base Camp through a trail that runs alongside a Himalayan riverbank.

We will then move in the direction of Annapurna base camp from there. We leave ABC after enjoying a stunning sunrise and return along the same route through MBC, Deurali, Himalaya, and Bamboo. The path is relatively flat and is simple to walk. Stay the night at Bamboo. We head to Chomorong now. We arrive at Jhinu after a 45-minute descent. Natural Hot Springs, where you can take a calming bath, are what make Jhinu famous. The guesthouse is 30 minutes' steep walk from the spring. The leisurely walk continues for another four to five hours along the Modi Khola until it reaches Birethanti and Nayapul. We return to Pokhara from Nayapul and spend the night there or you can ride in a shared jeep close to Jhinu.

Essential Info

1.TRAVEL INSURANCE

Our main priority is the safety of our visitors. So we suggest. If you consider an Annapurna Trek, you should consider purchasing travel insurance to cover any unexpected costs due to health difficulties, injuries, or accidents (including air ambulance, helicopter rescue, and other treatment costs). It will help if you take travel insurance and medical and accidental insurance. 

Your insurance coverage should also cover any additional activities you plan to participate in while in Nepal. There's a thin line between adventure and outright danger. What distinguishes them is their level of preparedness for a specific task. Leaving the comforts of home and entering the embrace of nature is an adventure; failing to ensure that you are adequately covered is a danger.

 

2. Food and Accommodation

I)Food

As for food, the Annapurna region has many hotels and tea houses that facilitate you with the best food items. 

Our package will offer you full-time food with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tea and coffee. We will give the food as per the menu of the hotel or tea house. We prioritize Nepali food mainly. Therefore, they will serve Nepali food items, but if you wish to have a western food item, they will also prepare it upon your request.

II)Accommodation

For accommodation in the Annapurna region, you can find hotels, lodges, and restaurants. From mid-range to expensive resorts can be seen. While trekking, you may need to stop at local villages where you cannot find such facilities. The lodge costs a bit high than other options like the hotel. However, We will arrange your accommodation in tourist comfort hotels, motels, or resorts. The hotel will provide the room with a twin bed which demands you to share your room. In your demand, we can also arrange a triple bed or a single bed which cost a bit expensive compared to others.  

 

3. Heath /Fitness And Experience Requirments 

Because some portions of the climb are very strenuous and some days need 8-9 hours of constant walking, trekking throughout Annapurna Region requires exceptional stamina, tenacity, and good health. As a result, we recommend that you get medical counsel, medicine, and authorization before embarking on this adventure. Also, consult your local General Practitioner for professional advice on the essential Guide walks before embarking on the Annapurna Trek in Nepal. However, if you don't have access to a doctor, travel clinics can provide you with the most excellent guidance.

 

4. Travel Tips (ATM, ELECTRICITY, INTERNET, LUGGAGE, PERSONAL EXPENSES)

As mentioned earlier, we can find all types of hotels and lodges starting from mid-range to very standard. But if we are moving to the local community, we might not find clubs and hotels with all kinds of facilities. 

As for the facilities, there is no electricity in all of those locations. Therefore, it is preferable to have a backup plan. We may still use batteries and chargers for backup, but additional expenses will be. There are charging stations in the lodges where you may set your devices. You may have to pay a minimal cost for the service. Bring along additional chargers or a solar charger.

There may not be internet access in all locations, limiting your ability to use data. You may have to pay extra to utilize the internet. The internet connection throughout the walking trail is sporadic at best, and it only worsens as you climb higher.

Having cash on hand for your payments is recommended due to the lack of ATMs. It would help if you had to pay for things like power, internet, and other extras like bakeries and pastries and cash for tipping. Please bring extra cash to spend while trekking because there are no ATMs as we move to higher altitudes. You may need money on the road to buy additional beverages, food, or luxuries like a hot shower, internet, etc. 

In the hotel's locker room, provide free spaces for extra luggage. Each hiker can bring up to ten pounds of trekking tools (carried by porters). There aren't any ATMs, so have plenty of cash! Even in a "main" community like Jomsom, you might not find an ATM in the Annapurna region. Almost no tea houses or commercial enterprise accepts credit cards. 

 

5. Altitude Sickness And Prevention 

While trekking to the Annapurna region, moving to higher elevations will cause altitude sickness. In addition, you will be more likely to face AMS, which might worsen HACE( High Altitude Cerebral Edema) and HAPE(High Altitude Pulmonary Edema).

When people are traveling and rising or being moved to a higher level fast, altitude sickness is prevalent. Because lower the air pressure and oxygen levels are, the higher you climb. Our bodies can handle the change, but it will take time to acclimate. 

 So to prevent AMS, we will take two acclimatization breaks every thousand meters. We will trek at a higher altitude but sleep lower to cure this altitude sickness. If we suffer from acute mountain sickness, we will take rest immediately at the same place. To energize, we will drink more liquid to stay hydrated, like soup and water. If the case starts to get worse, we will have to take rescue by helicopter.

 

6. WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

The following is the list of the things and equipment that we will need to carry with us when you are heading on the journey. 

1. For the upper part of the body

HAT: You'll need a nice, wide-brimmed trekking hat to keep the sun off your face. Lightweight, simple to carry, and neck-covering styles are the best.  While trekking, wearing a hat can protect yourself from the sun on the trail.

HEADLAMP: Along with the hat, it is better to carry a headlamp with you during the trek. Headlamps are lights we can wear on a person's head. Due to their hands-free operation, these gadgets are great for trekking and hiking. It's ideal to have your hands free when hiking so you can deal with anything Mother Nature throws at you or pull your stuff.

 At night, trails can be hard to navigate. These footprints generally incorporate pebbles, tree roots, twigs, and even animals and resemble an uncharted maze. These hazards can be dangerous, and having your hands free allows you to catch yourself, move obstacles, sprint, or fend off an enraged rabbit on the track.

WOOLEN HAT: When you move to higher elevations, you get a high chance of being caught by cold. So, it is essential to carry a woolen hat with you for your protection. Not every hat is equally suitable for trekking, so it is safer to have a woolen hat; it will be available to you if you need it. 

SUN PROTECTING HAT(WITH WIDE BRIM): Day during your trial can be sunny, and the rays directly showered upon you. It will protect UV rays from entering your skin. We must be more careful regarding our heads and protect the scalp from sunburn and skin cancer. 

SUNGLASSES(WITH UV PROTECTION): As we move towards high altitude, the atmospheric layer becomes thinner, which increases exposure to harmful rays because the capacity to filter these rays becomes less. Therefore, we need to carry sunglasses to protect our eyes from harmful rays.

 

2. BODY PART

Waterproof jackets and trousers: Rain on the path is always possible, especially if you intend to hike between June and September (we strongly advise against walking in the region). We recommend bringing rain gear with you as a precaution, preferably a gore-tex membrane hardshell jacket. An inexpensive pair of waterproof pullovers will typically be enough for pants.

T-SHIRT: It is better to wear light clothes to avoid extreme sweating and discomfort during trekking. A t-shirt is best to wear during such trips. 

Clothing: Layering is a significant walk component due to the considerable fluctuation in altitude and temperature. You'll be able to quickly adapt to the climate and be comfortable and safe if you can add and remove layers of clothes while trekking. For example, if you intend on hiking during the cooler winter months of December through February, you'll want to bring some extra layers.

GLOVES: You will need to carry your gloves with you because gloves will help protect your hands from sweat, extreme weather conditions, and other inconvenient situations that may cause discomfort and injury.

 

LOWER BODY CLOTHING

THERMAL INNERS: Thermal inners are insulators between your body and the surrounding cold air. They trap body heat and prevent heat loss. Use the ones generally made with polyester or give extra comfort and flexibility.

TROUSERS: A full-length pair of trekking trousers provides solid path protection, preventing cuts and scratches from prickly plants, twigs, rocks, and other hazards. Trekking trousers allow you to travel much easier without the sound of rustling plants and enable you to get near to animals without making a nuisance.

DOWN JACKET: One of the most significant purchases you'll make is a down jacket. On a hiking or climbing journey throughout the journey, having the correct warm, insulating layer may make or break your pleasure level. So when you are heading for a trek in the Everest region, we must include a down jacket in your packing list. 

 

3. FOOTWEARS

TREKKING BOOTS: Trekking boots are necessary as they help to protect the foot and ankles during long-distance trekking. They are one of the essential items of trekking as they can determine a trekker's ability to walk long distances without injury.

SOCKS: A trekking sock is essential for avoiding blisters. Unlike a weak, stinking cotton sock, a hiking hose will not continually brush against the back of your foot and will give substantial protection from friction caused by your shoe. The socks maintain a constant temperature for the feet. Socks are incredibly soft and comfortable on foot.

 

4. OTHER TYPES OF EQUIPMENT FOR TREKKING

TREKKING POLES: Trekking poles intersperse your arms and shoulders into the trekking movement, allowing you to use better muscles to force yourself uphill and control your downhill. The result is an expansion in rate without an accumulation in leg soreness.

FIRST-AID KIT: First aid kits are a must-have for every trekker. They help you with necessary treatment during the trial. Thus to minimize the risk of infection or injury severity, we must take it with ourselves. A well-stocked kit contains items that treat burns, injuries, scrapes, and cuts.

SLEEPING BAGS: Though we will be staying in hotels and there will be services, still take no risk and carry a sleeping bag with you. If you want the best night's sleep on the trail, it is best to take your sleeping bags.

PERSONAL BAGS: When going on an outdoor trek, you want to be sure that you'll be comfortable the entire time. Personal bags are vital if you're hiking a long and challenging walk. The type of trekking backpack you use will significantly impact how pleasant your adventure will be. If you're carrying many goods, you'll need a bag that distributes the weight properly, so you don't get tired soon.

 

7. PASSPORT AND VISA

It is relatively simple to acquire a visa for Nepal. You can apply for a visa at your nearest Nepalese Embassy/Consulate or Mission office in your home country or buy one when you arrive at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan International Airport. To apply for a visa, you'll need two passport-sized photos, US dollar visa costs, and a valid passport for at least six months before your travel. Nationals of the SAARC (India, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Maldives, and Afghanistan) and China, on the other hand, do not need a visa to enter Nepal. However, a transit visa is only valid for three days for foreign nationals. As a result, for more extended visits, a permit is necessary.

A passport is very crucial to travel in Nepal. In addition, if you want to do mountain trekking, you will have to get a mountain license. 

 

8. BANKING AND ATM

Our packages usually include meals and lodging, but you may require cash for personal expenses. There is a lower likelihood of finding an ATM or no ATM on the ABC trail. . Before you go on the walk, make sure you have enough cash. As mentioned above, there is no ATM in the Annapurna region everywhere, so It is better not to depend on ATMs for the expenses. The hotels and lodges also mostly accept cash rather than online payments, so it's more convenient to take enough money with you.  

 

9. GUIDES PORTER AND TIPPING SYSTEM IN NEPAL

Solo trekking, group trekking, or a couple of trekking without a guide will be difficult, so it is necessary to take a guide with you whenever you plan to trek. In addition, the trail in the Annapurna region might not be familiar to you if you are traveling for the first time. 

Since you will have to carry many trekking equipments, it will be convenient and helpful if you take a porter. The porter will help you maintain the luggage, and the Guide will help you take the right trail. 

While traveling, you may face uncertainties. For example, you may suffer from altitude sickness and AMS (Acute mountain sickness), so to help you during such situations, we need to take a guide with us.  

As for the tips for guides and porters will set you back 10% of the total price. Ten percent of the cost is for the Guide and porter. Mountain Rock Treks provide sixty percent to the Guide's tips and 40 percent to the porter.

FAQs

  • Q1. How hard is Annapurna Base Camp trek?

    In opposed to the Everest Base Camp trek, the Annapurna Base Camp trek is a somewhat simpler hike. The reasons for this include that hiking to Annapurna Base Camp requires fewer days of trekking, elevations of no more than 4,130m/13,550 feet, and stays at higher elevations of no more than a few days. Additionally, the Annapurna region has more oxygen in the air than the EBC climb because of the lush woods at low altitudes. There are enough days for acclimation because the Annapurna Base Camp hike starts at an altitude of 800 meters (2,625 feet). The level of fitness needed for both climbs is the same, despite the fact that the Annapurna Base Camp walk may be simpler than the EBC trek.

  • Since the trek is just a long hike on low elevations across the verdant slopes of the Annapurna massif's southern flank, hikers do not need technical experience, rock climbing, or mountaineering skills. The trek is only strenuous due to its nine-day length and several uphill and downhill stretches (11 days, including arrival and departure). If you don't have much time, you can complete the walk in 7 days by taking the quicker route.

  • The pre-monsoon months of March through May are the ideal time to hike to Annapurna Base Camp. Additionally, from late September through December, the post-monsoon season is a good time to go trekking. Although it is also possible to go to Annapurna base camp in February and early September, the aforementioned season is the best for this expedition.

  • On the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you should bring just enough for at least 8 days' worth of travel. You won't be able to enjoy your trip across the Himalayas if you don't pack wisely. You will spend the entire trek sleeping in tiny lodges or teahouses because it is a lodge-to-lodge trek. It may get colder at higher elevations, especially during the cold months, so you need to be ready with the appropriate gear and equipment. Visit our thorough packing list for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek for more information on what to bring with you on the hike.

  • The 67-kilometer trip to Annapurna Base Camp is long. The trek to and from Pokhara can be completed in nine days. A significant portion of the trek's trail is laid up with stone stairs that are well-paved. These steps can be strenuous on the body even though they allow you to gain elevation quickly.

  • Your lodging for the trekking section of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be a guesthouse. Guesthouse bathrooms are often built inside the home area, and the rooms are tidy and clean. Rooms with attached bathrooms are only available in Ghorepani along this walk route. Similar to this, teahouses up till Chomrong village feature rooms with twin beds that two trekkers can share.

    However, after Chomrong, there aren't many teahouses, thus there will be several beds in a single room. Additionally, three to four trekkers will have to share a room during the busiest trekking season; each will have a bed to sleep in. For your comfort, mattresses, bed sheets, pillows, and blankets are already on the beds in the teahouses.

  • Participants should have started paying attention to their food and exercise routine a few months ago if Annapurna Base Camp is their first hike. It is 4130 meters above sea level, and the full walk might be up to 115 kilometers long. You'll need to hike 10–12 kilometers each day. This categorizes the trek to Annapurna Base Camp's difficulty as moderate. It won't be difficult if participants are accustomed to hiking and heights.

  • First off, even if you feel energetic and believe you could continue walking for another four or five hours, we advise you not to rush the trek. While trekking at high altitudes, it is exceedingly harmful and dangerous. Keeping hydrated is also crucial, on the same vein. Drink 4 to 5 liters of water daily when trekking. By doing this, mountain sickness will be avoided. Similarly, we would advise choosing foods that are easily digestible and soupy. Even though there is no connection between food and altitude sickness, eating a large meal can cause gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, you shouldn't consume alcohol when hiking. You can easily get a headache from drinking, which can cause altitude sickness. You can also take pills containing Diamox. These medications are available without a prescription at the pharmacy. These are just a few of the crucial advice to keep in mind while hiking in Nepal. These will assist you in reducing your risk of experiencing altitude sickness.

  • Yes, you can charge your phones, camera batteries, and other electronics with electricity. However, these services will cost money. Not every teahouse levies fees for using electricity to power electronic gadgets. However, many will charge you additional fees. Therefore, before utilizing the service, it is advised that you discuss the price with the proprietor of the teahouse. Normally, charging batteries for cameras and phones costs between NPR 200 and 300.

Client Reviews

  • Exciting Route

    The track is really challenging because it travels through dense forests where you can see a variety of species. Along the way, you pass through charming villages and cross exciting bridges and lovely waterways. The stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayas, which include the Tent Peak, Mount Gangapurna, Mount Fishtail, and Mount Hiunchuli, were simply breathtaking. I really enjoyed the hike a lot.

  • Fantastic Hike

    With the Mountain Rock Treks staff, we had a fantastic short hike to Annapurna Base Camp. They were very aware of what we needed and did everything they could to make sure we had a great day. Everyone, from the little ones to the adults, had a lovely time in the magnificent Annapurna region, and we all have wonderful memories of our time in Nepal. My only recommendation would be to learn the trail or trekking path and see if that is acceptable with your pace and physical capacity. The crew is really honest and they do not try to cut corners. If you want to experience the breathtaking Annapurna Base Camp but don't have time for lengthy treks, this package is ideal for you.
