Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days is the ideal trekking destination in the Annapurna region which can be done within a short period. This trek is popular among foreigners and Nepalese trekkers too. On this trek, we get a chance to see a stunning view of a snow-capped mountain with natural beauty. It is one of the most renowned and leading tourist destinations located on the very lap of the Annapurna Himalayas. While trekking on this route, we get a chance to learn about the culture, tradition, and lifestyle of the Gurung People who are the local tribe and are known as Brave all over the world.
Trip Highlight
Machhapuchhre Base Camp
Machhapuchhre Base Camp is located at an altitude of 3,700m, and it offers stunning views of the Machhapuchhre Peak (also known as Fishtail). The trail to Machhapuchhre Base Camp is challenging, but it is worth the effort.
Annapurna Base Camp
Annapurna Base Camp is the highlight of the trek. It is located at an altitude of 4,130m, and it offers panoramic views of the Annapurna massif. You will also get to see the Annapurna Glacier and the Gangapurna Glacier.
Hot Springs
Jhinu Danda is famous for its natural hot springs, which are perfect for relaxing after a long trek. The hot springs are located near the Modi Khola River, and they are open to the public.
These are just some of the many highlights of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The trek offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Annapurna region, making it a must-visit destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.
Best time to travel
Autumn and spring season is the perfect season for trekking at the Annapurna Base Camp. In this season, the weather and climate are warm and dry which is very reasonable and it is very unique and marvelous because trekkers get a chance to see a mesmerizing view of the mountain. During the autumn and spring season, the weather is clear, dry, and stable which is very much best for trekking. In the spring season, the weather is warm and sunny with blooming rhododendron forests in red, white, and pink colors. And in the autumn season, the sky is crystal clear with perfect views of the snow-capped mountain with natural beauty. These seasons are the busiest time for trekking in the high Himalayan land of Nepal.
If you want to trek during the off-season month you have to prepare for more challenging weather conditions. You can trek during monsoon season but in the winter the trek will become challenging because there will be snow everywhere. While trekking in the Monsoon, the road will become slippery and muddy and it will become a little bit challenging. And in the monsoon season, there will be rain a lot the sky is cloudy, and very little chance of seeing the mountain.

Excellent Verified PurchaseEverest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Rabin Gurung
This is my second trip with Rabin and I am already looking forward to a third trip with him soon. That shows how much I value his services, his extensive experiences with the treks, his honesty, and of course, the great supporting staff he have.
I feel safe and well taken care of with Rabin as my guide. He is a man with integrity and deal in a most honest way with us. This is unlike lots of horror stories you read about guides and tea-house owners collaborating to fleece hikers. We pay exactly what we consumed at the tea houses based on the published menu prices, no more and no less. With Rabin, there is no hidden cost.
With more than 20 years of trekking experience, he gave good advises on the route and safety measures to take. For example, he insisted that we started off early on a particular day so that we will reach a section with an ice sheet before the ice started to melt and traversing the ice-sheet becomes dangerous and difficult.
We have a large team of porters and assistant guides to take care of our team of 12 hikers and everyone on Rabin’s team have been extremely helpful and friendly. My teenage son enjoyed playing Uno and sliding down the ABC Trek icy slope with a teenage porter, a fellow hiker who has walking difficulties was supported all the way by assistant guides and porters and our meals were all ordered in advance so the group don’t have to wait long for food to be served.

Excellent Verified PurchaseAnnapurna Base Camp Trek with Rabin Gurung
If you feel it please skip to the last line. My name is Patibut Preeyawongsakul. I have been trekking since 2012. I do either individual trekking or going with a mountain guide. I was with Rabin on Annapurna Trekking in Dec 2015. Not only on the mountains but also roaming around in the city. I was with him for totally 15 days. By 4 years of my trekking around Asia (and a little hiking in the US), Rabin is the best mountain guide so far. Rabin knows how to take care of any kind of trekkers from slow ladies to teenagers. Luckily we didn’t need his first aid kit which he always carries it in his backpack. He’s expert in almost mountains’ information in Nepal (including sometimes Tibet). He can calculate the trip’s timing very precisely. We could change the itinerary on the way we walk without affecting flight schedule (we had one more day on the base camp last time.) Though, His skill still not matches his humbleness and hospitality. I had been seriously discussing with him for 6 months with nothing guarantee I’d go with him, but he happily helped me decide which route to take. He frankly showed the cost breakdown before we make a final decision. He welcomed us at the airport, and all of my team had his souvenirs on the day we flew back to our home country. If you want a short review, Hire this guy. 10/10 would go with him again.

Excellent Verified PurchaseExcellent Tour Company.. very flexible hiking plan
We did ABC trek in 5 days, and 4 nights, for 400 USD per person. This includes all meals, lodging, a guide, a porter, etc. This is the best value package you can find. The guide and porter took good care of us and played cards with us every night. We can customize the trip also, like when to eat, when to start hiking, when to rest, etc. We can hike as much or as little as we want each day. This is the ultimate flexibility. Love it.

Excellent Verified PurchaseAmazing 10 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek!!
A group of us friends went on a trek with Rabin and his supporting staffs. The scenery was ever changing and we were wowed with many amazing views and experiences. Lots of photos taken even for a photo shy person like me. Advise to do stairs training (min 2 months) before attempting ABC trek to better enjoy the trekking experiences. Rabin took care of all logistic smoothly and showered us with lots of interesting information & histories along the way. All his supporting stuffs were always on hand to help when situations became challenging, be it personal or due to changing weather reasons. All of us felt so blessed and grateful to be accompanied by caring friends and Rabin’s team. We did EBC before and now we completed ABC. Will trek Nepal again & again (with Rabin of course)!!!

My name is Petch from Thailand. Me and my friends have been to Annapurna (4,130m) during Apr 2018.
For the long trekking, u need to prepare a lot. your heart and your body to get to the top However guide is also a really important key to help u reach ur goal. To help u prepare for the flight, stay, estimated walking distance, bag carry, and many many things behind the scenes and last until u arrive home safely.
During our trip, Rabin Garung did an excellent job as a guide. He is professional and well-experienced guide in Nepal. He and his team always give us great support when we need it.
If anyone wants to ABC or trekking in Nepal, I would really love to recommend this guy and his team

Great experience in ABC trek Jan 2024
I found Everest Trekking Routes during an online research regarding trekking in Nepal. The website immediately caught my attention. It looks authentic and professional and the prices seemed fair.
Before booking any trip I was in email contact with the founder of the company called Robin. A very kind and helpful person who supported me in regard to gear to bring and the itinerary. He was very flexible in the itinerary so we adjusted it to my needs. He also helped me to find a very nice hotel in Pokhara and Kathmandu and even booked them for me for the best price.
The day before the trip started I met up with my guide Sukra in Pokhara to get to know each other. Right from that moment I liked him as a person. I could sense that he is an experienced trekker and guide. This turned out to be true during the trek. He knew teahouse owners, knew the trek and the peaks of all surrounding mountains. He is an incredibly fit and healthy guide. As he has three years of experience as a porter, he can carry very heavy gear if it is necessary. In addition, he prepared fresh fruits for me at least once a day. He took my food orders for every meal and always took very well care of me. I enjoyed talking about personal topics with him which was great.
I am not talking too much about the ABC trek because everybody will have a different experience. Sukra and I did it in the beginning of January of 2024. We had great weather, very few crowded treks, very kind teahouse hosts, and a very special and cold experience at ABC.
I can highly recommend the trek and Sukra as a guide. You will not be disappointed.
Best regards
Mark
