Your journey to Annapurna Base Camp begins in Pokhara. That means you will fly from Kathmandu to Pokhara. To get there, there are two routes. There is a 30-minute flight option. And yet another is a seven to eight-hour road trip. If you want to take a flight, the package includes a tourist bus. $125 USD more each individual. They each have a speciality of their own. On one side, you may take in the breathtaking aerial vista of mountains. On the other hand, you can see the natural flora up close in the other. Make sure you have all the required paperwork, such as your passport, TIMS card, insurance, etc., before making a decision.

In Pokhara, you'll awaken to a revitalising morning. In the morning, you can take a trip around the Fewa Lake and Bindabasini shrine. Enjoy your morning meal at the hotel. You'll then get prepared for the two-hour taxi ride to Nayapul (1000m). Nayapul is your official starting point for the hike as you will be walking from there. After crossing the bridge, you will go via Birethanti, which is also your checkpoint, at 1035 metres before arriving at Hile for the night.

Proceeding to Ulleri (2000m) from Hile is where your journey will end. The section between Hile and Uller is difficult since it involves a lengthy and steep climb. Additionally, Ulleri greets you with an abundance of stone stairs, so be sure to go slowly. You will pass through towns like Banthanti as you walk uphill. Refilling tea and food is not an issue because there are several teahouses strewn throughout. When you go to Ghorepani, you'll need to double-check your permits.

Lower Ghorepani and Upper Ghorepani are the two village distributions of Ghorepani. Upstairs, the stone separating them is roughly 100–200 metres. Since it will be easier tomorrow and the sights are nicer, you will go to Upper Ghorepani.

You're going to get up early today because you really don't want to miss Poon Hill's sunrise. The highest point of the day is Poon Hill (3210m). This vantage point offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayas. Himchuli, Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, Mount Annapurna, and other peaks are seen. Following that, you'll head back to your teahouse for breakfast before continuing up to Tadapani (2610m). You are greeted along the route by a further 3000 metres of elevation, a few dispersed settlements, vibrant rhododendrons, and tumbling waterfalls.

Tadapani has the most breathtaking sunrise views, so make sure to get up early to take in the sight of Dhaulagiri and Fishtail. You'll carry on towards verdant forests after breakfast. Most of the stretch is good for the start. Once you reach Chhomrong, you'll begin another difficult ascent (2170m). Along the route, you will stop at communities including Ghurjung, Talung, Kimrong Khola, and Chuile. You will be welcomed by the opulent Gurung and Magar culture as well as the breathtaking Himalayan surroundings. After that, you'll trek a further hour from Chhomrong to Sinuwa.

Once you leave Sinuwa, you'll stroll through a forest that is home to ferns, oak trees, bamboo, and rhododendron. The trails may also be a little dim as the forest increasingly becomes denser. But you'll also come across a variety of creatures, birds, and floral plants along the route. You also go by Dovan (2500m) and Bamboo (2300m). This portion of the hike is more leisurely because it passes by rivers, waterfalls, and short ascents and descents.

It's time to continue on to the highest point of your journey. One of the most fascinating days of your journey will be passing through incredible locations like Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3700m) and Deurali (3200m). The beauty of the trails increases as you ascend. It's all worth it for the picturesque landscape, waterfalls, farmlands, and verdant pastures. The breathtaking mountain views from MBC are the nicest feature. Another wonderful sight are the glaciers glimmering beside the river. After several hours of travelling on a level, non-steep trail, you will arrive at ABC from MBC.

You will be awakened in the early morning by the cool mountain vistas and windy elevation. Then, you'll get to see the breathtaking dawn over the Himalayan peaks covered in snow. You can take a quick walk up to the sunrise point, which is located above the base camp. You will also see prayer flags and memorial stupas in addition to the breathtaking surroundings. The nicest aspect is the expansive vista of magnificent peaks like Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, and Himchuli. It will surely be the most wonderful time of your life. You will return to your teahouse after the exploration, have breakfast, and then depart for Bamboo.

After leaving Bamboo, you'll go back the same way towards Chhomrong. You get to enjoy the road once more as you pass the communities you have previously encountered. Don't forget to visit the locations you previously missed while you're doing that. You will go to Jhinu Danda by taking the Sinuwa-Chhomrong route. Jhinu Danda is well-known for its naturally occurring healing hot springs. Enjoy the verdant surroundings, forget your suffering, and take a dip in the hot spring!

You'll cross the suspension bridge across the Modi Khola and bid Jhinu farewell. You'll arrive at Landrung settlement (1680m) after continuing to walk. This well-known Gurung community is surrounded by farmlands and ridges of forest. It also offers a breathtaking perspective of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. You will next go through Bichkok Deurali and Tokla. After another hour of descent, you will arrive in Pothaha, which is home to several excellent teahouses.

Your journey will take you to Phedi, your next destination, after Pothana. Phedi is a sparsely populated settlement at 1500 metres, with the friendliest inhabitants. After almost three hours of walking, you will arrive. The majority of the population is Gurung and Magar, and they will greet you with special treats. You'll board a private jeep and travel to Pokhara after getting some rest. There is a lakeside where you may unwind and take in the nightlife.

Pokhara is a lovely city in western Nepal that is well-known for its gorgeous lakes, amazing scenery, and views of the mountains. This is a list of some of the most popular places you will see while on your sightseeing trip in Pokhara: Phewa Lake, Peace Pagoda, Bindhyabasini Temple, Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave and Seti river gorge.

This is the last day of your journey. To go back to Kathmandu, you have the same two choices. To have a better look at Pokhara, flying is the most convenient choice. The package includes a tour bus.
