This is our Annapurna Base Camp trek for guests who are already in Pokhara. You drive to Nayapul, walk through Gurung villages to Ghandruk and Chomrong, climb the Chomrong staircase into the Modi Khola gorge, and reach Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m inside a ring of snow peaks. You come down by Bamboo and Jhinu Danda, with its natural hot springs, and finish back in Pokhara on day 7.

If you would rather start in Kathmandu, with the drives and Pokhara hotel nights included, see our 9-day Annapurna Base Camp trek. The trail is the same.

If you want the quiet side of Annapurna instead, see our Annapurna North Base Camp Trek, 9 Days.

Why book with The Everest Holiday

Three Generations of Family Guides

Family-run since 2016 with three generations of guiding heritage. Not an agency — the family that runs the company leads your trek personally.

Private Group — No Strangers

Every trek we run is private. Your group only. We never combine bookings or add strangers to your party. If you book solo, you walk with a guide; if you book as four friends, your group stays four.

Nagarjun Learning Center Giveback

A fixed share of every booking funds the Nagarjun Learning Center — 70 children, 7 community centres, 3 full-time teachers, 600+ medical interventions, 275+ women supported. You can visit the centre before or after your trip; we arrange the visit separately.

  • Packing: a day pack, warm layers for the evenings, good walking shoes, trekking poles, a rain jacket and a head torch. We send a full packing list when you book.
  • Hotel nights before and after the trek are not included, so we can fit them to your own dates. We can book them for you.
  • Documents: bring your passport.

FAQs

The trail is the same. This version starts and finishes in Pokhara, so it does not include the two Kathmandu to Pokhara drives or the Pokhara hotel nights. You begin walking from Nayapul on day 1 and are back in Pokhara on day 7. The 9-day trek starts and ends in Kathmandu.
It is a demanding trek for a fit beginner. Day 3 is seven hours including the Chomrong staircase of about 2,500 steps, and the climb from Deurali to the base camp gains about 950 m. You need to be able to walk for several hours a day, and to walk slowly at altitude. No technical skill is needed.
An Annapurna Conservation Area permit and a TIMS card. We arrange both and the cost is in your price.
Yes. Your guide, and your porters on Standard and Luxury, are for your party only. We never merge separate private bookings.
The route is the same. Budget gives you a guide, simple lodges with shared rooms and the permits and transport, with no porter and no meals. Standard adds one porter for every two trekkers, a private room where the lodge has one and all meals. Luxury gives each trekker a dedicated porter, the best rooms available and all meals with fruit, nuts and unlimited soft drinks.
If we cannot run your trip, we refund what you have paid, less taxes, bank or card charges and any money already spent on your behalf, or move you to another date. Plans change? You can reschedule free to any date within one year with at least 72 hours' notice. The deposit itself is not refunded if you cancel.
Yes. Buy travel insurance at home, before you travel, and check that it covers trekking to 4,500 m, medical care, emergency helicopter rescue and the dates of your trip. We do not recommend insurance bought in Nepal.
You pay a 10% deposit to book and the balance before the trek. We take US dollars or euros, in cash or by card. We cover the card fee on the deposit. Card payments of the balance carry a 3.5% bank charge, and cash in Kathmandu has no fee.

It is from USD 605 per person for 2 to 4 people on Budget, USD 1,045 on Standard and USD 2,045 on Luxury. A solo traveller pays USD 1,080, 1,480 or 3,415, because the guide and transport are not shared. Larger groups pay less per person, and every price is shown on this page.

March to May and October to November gives the clearest weather and views. We check conditions before every departure and tell you if anything changes.

Yes. We run it privately for groups of 1 to 20, so you never wait for other people to sign up. On your own the price is USD 1,080 on Budget, 1,480 on Standard and 3,415 on Luxury.
