Meeting Point
Airport or Hotel in Kathmandu
- The meeting point will be decided whether to meet at the airport pick up or the Hotel after the arrival.
Day 1: Drive to Nayapool and Trek to Ghandruk
The ABC Trek begins with drive to Nayapul. You will do some Permit checking at Nayapuland Birethanti and start walking. It will be an easy walk for an hour through the road passing small villages. Upon reaching Kyumi, an uphill walk begins. From here it takes 2-3 hours to reach Ghandruk Village. Overnight stay at Ghandruk
Day 2: Trek from Ghandruk to Chommrong
Get a first sight of Mt. Annapurna South and Hiunchuli from Ghandruk. After enjoying the breakfast with mountain views, descend for 2 hours to reach Kimrong Khola. Then climb the uphill from Jhinu Danda to Chommrong. It can be a bit difficult to ascend through the staircases. The village of Chommrong is beautifully settled with the Gurung Community. You can see many teahouses in this village. Overnight stay at Chommrong.
Day 3: Trek from Chommrong to Himalaya
Today will be one of the longest hikes of this ABC Trek. At the beginning drop down to Chhommrong Khola and cross the river to reach Sinuwa Village. From Lower Sinuwa, it takes an hour to reach Upper Sinuwa. From here, the trail gets easy through the jungle until you reach Bamboo. You will take an hour's rest at Bamboo while having lunch. It takes another 3-4 hours to reach the Himalayan Hotel from Bamboo. In between you will pass through Dovan. Overnight stay at Himalaya Hotel.
Day 4: Trek from Himalaya to MBC or ABC
Today, take your day lightly as you will walk for 3-4 hours only. The regular ABC Trek Itinerary goes to the Base Camp on this day. However, if you also want to push to the ABC today then you can. But we do recommend staying overnight at Macchapuchre Base Camp. From the Himalayas, the path goes through the forest and then descends to Bagar. From Bagar, a gradual uphill walk for an hour takes you to MBC for an overnight stay. If you reach MBC in the afternoon and the weather allows, get some beautiful views of Mt. Fishtail, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna.
Day 5: Hike to ABC and trek down to Dovan
The day begins with a morning hike to ABC from Macchhapuchre Base Camp. Wake up early around 4 am and start the hike to ABC. The glittering sunrise view from the Base Camp is magical. Likewise, you will be surrounded by soaring peaks with sunrise. Take your time to click some photos on the popular ABC Hoarding Board and mark your achievement. Then, hike down to MBC to have breakfast and you will retrace the same trail back to Dovan.
Day 6: Trek from Dovan to Chhommrong
After having breakfast, the day proceeds to Chommrong today. Although you will lose a lot of elevation, the trail has ups and downs. You will pass Bamboo and Sinuwa to arrive at Chommrong for an overnight stay.
Day 7: Trek from Chhommrong to Jhinu and Drive back to Pokhara
If you need to relax in Jhinu Hot Spring then early morning the trek will descend to Jhinu. From here, you will cross the longest bridge to catch the Jeep for driving back to Pokhara. The Jeep drive is about 2-3 hours and you will arrive at Pokhara to end your short Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
