ABC Short Trek Details

We have created this trek for physically fit persons who have less time but want to see/experience the Annapurna region, one of the most famous trekking regions in the world.

Even though this trek is short, you will come across diverse landscapes, different climatic regions, and multi-ethnic villages. As the hike progresses into Annapurna Sanctuary, you can also witness different flora, fauna, and ethnic Gurung and Magar villages. You will see Annapurna ranges, Dhaulagiri mountain, and Machhapuchhare for most parts of your trek.

The trek starts from Pokhara. If you are in Kathmandu, you should head to Pokhara as we will depart for the trek from Pokhara. On the first day, we will drive you to Samrung from Pokhara. The drive will last for around four hours. From Samrung, you will trek to Sinuwa to spend your first night in the trek region.

The next day you will travel from Sinuwa to Deurali, gaining elevation gradually. As you trek, the Annapurna mountains start to grow in front of you, indicating that you are getting nearer to the Annapurna mountain. After reaching Deurali, the trek ascends further, taking you to Annapurna Base Camp. On the way, you will also pass Machhapuchhare Base Camp. You will be spending the night at Annapurna Base Camp. We are sure you will be delighted to spend a night surrounded by tall snow peaks.

After enjoying the sunrise over Annapurna ranges from Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), it is time to return. You will follow the same path that took you to ABC, but this time as the journey is downhill, you will not stop at Deurali. From ABC, you will trek to Sinuwa and then to Samrung. You will then return to Pokhara from Samrung in private transport.

We hope, during this short but exciting journey, you will create some of the most precious memories in your life.

Day-1: From Pokhara drive to Samrung and trek to Sinuwa

After an early morning breakfast in Pokhara, we will head to Samrung via the picturesque Gurung village of Ghandruk. The journey will take around four hours. From Samrung, the trek begins, and trekking is very easy until Jhinu Danda, but the hike from Jhinu Danda to Chomrong is quite demanding. From Chomrong, you will continue ahead, and after crossing a steel suspension bridge, you will reach Sinuwa. The whole trek will last for about four hours.

Day-2: Trek from Sinuwa to Deurali
