With a maximum elevation of 4,130 meters, Annapurna Base Camp Trek is equally famed and astounding as the Everest base camp trek.

While the Annapurna Base Camp trek mostly comprises the well-known route, it also includes an off-the-beaten-track. There are many tracks that one can take to reach the Annapurna Base Camp and as such, it can be difficult to identify the right path without guide porters. As the trail is moderately difficult, you can also come across some unforeseen circumstances. We highly recommend you hire a guide who has been an experienced trekker before and has good contact with the locals. With the help of a guide, you can enjoy the trek without any difficulties or problems. What makes this trek exceptional is that it can be combined with other treks such as Annapurna Base Camp Trek Via Poon Hill, Ghandruk village Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, and Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. Scenic beauty coupled with the friendliness of the villagers on the way, this trek is bound to be in your memories forever. As you hike on this route, you’ll go through rhododendron forests, cultural villages, lush green hills, rocky slopes, ridges, and steep ascents. Furthermore, You’ll hike through the villages of Chomrong, Sinwa, Dovan, and Deurali as you explore their customs and traditions. The villagers will greet you kindly and treat you with warmth. Their hospitality also further elevates your experience. With such a combination, this trek can be categorized as one of the best treks in Nepal. During the spring season, the Annapurna Base Camp trail has warm weather with blossoming flowers and verdant trees. It offers the rhododendron forests in full bloom along with a view of the mountains unhindered by clouds. It is considered the second-best season to trek after autumn. The spring season lasts from March to May. The average temperature during the day is 14-20 degree celsius whereas the temperature dwindles up to 2 degrees celsius at night. The summer season brings rainfall to the trail. So, this season is also called the off-season but, some trekkers opt to go trekking this time of the year. More than 100 types of flowers bloom during this season, the valley looks green, colorful, and amazing totally different compared to other seasons. The paths can get muddy and slippery while clouds mostly conceal the views of the mountains. The months of June, July, and mid-August have this weather. The autumn season is considered the best season to trek in the Annapurna region. It is because this season provides some spectacular views of the mountains along with the pleasant weather. It might get somewhat chilly at night, but it’s warm during the day. The average temperature during this season ranges from 6-2 degrees celsius on the day and the temperature plunges up to -9 degrees celsius at night.An Exceptional Experience.

Is travel insurance required for the 09 Days Annapurna trek?
The trail goes through some remote areas of Nepal and constitutes some exhausting ascents and steep descents. That is why having travel insurance is highly recommended. If you plan to go trekking by yourself, you must have travel insurance as it is mandatory for issuing a permit.
However, if you organize a trek with us, we can arrange the trip without having high-altitude travel insurance. That said, we suggest you have travel insurance in your home country before arriving in Nepal.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek: An Exceptional Experience Company Reviews
Unforgettable trek to Annapurna Base camp through North Nepal Treks
Amazing host - Mohan, Awesome guide - Bipin and very supportive porter Basanta - provided great support to us in our 7 day trek to Annapurna Base Camp. From booking the rooms in Kathmandu to booking to and fro flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu and everything during the trek was arranged very nicely. Bipin and Basanta made sure we were well taken care of during the entire duration of the trek to Annapurna base camp.
Always smiling and putting the needs of customer before their own.
Five stars to North Nepal Treks.
Amazing ABC Trek, responsible tour guide
We went to Pokhara in November 2019 for a visit and decided to book a trip to ABC with North Nepal Travels & Treks. Our guide was Neeraj, who was very thoughtful and took care of all our needs. He was knowledgeable of the surrounding mountains and Nepali traditions. The porter was also very helpful and nice. Both of them were very friendly so that 6 days of trekking with them were very enjoyable. Thank you so much for the memorable trip.
Highly recommend to all friends!
Kudos to North Nepal Tours
I had the most amazing experience with my siblings, recently completing the ABC trek. The trek was organized by Mohan Raj Bhandari if North Nepal Tours. We had a wonderful team of sherpas and a guide who ensured that we were comfortable and enjoyed our trek. Mohan personally co-ordinated and made us feel at home both during the Trek and our stay at Pokhara. Mohan has been very patient and professional in handling and responding to all our queries before and during the trek. Grateful for making our experience a memorable one.
Unbelievable Pokhara Trek
I did my Annapurna base camp trek with these guys!
Such good people. I made close friends with Ananda who took me on a tour around his home village!
He introduced me to his family, bought me some traditional Momos and gave me a insight into real Nepal life. Such a special experience!!!!
