Middle days are often five to seven hours of stairs and forest shade, and poles help on the descents. The last push is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 metres, in a bowl of ice walls and hanging glaciers, then the walk out via Jhinu. Annapurna Base Camp night is cold, and the return to Pokhara or Kathmandu follows the confirmed itinerary by road or flight. Extra days compared with the six-day Pokhara start keep height gain steadier on the stairs. Main luggage goes with porters while you walk a daypack, walking-day meals are included, and a start time can shift when lodges are busy or cloud sits in the basin. ✨ Why Choose Us ACAP permits and the Pokhara flight or transfer are arranged with teahouse bookings and a licensed leader for a small group. Briefing time covers the stone-step days, how the sanctuary is paced, and what to pack for cold nights at base camp. Domestic connections are held before you leave Kathmandu. Busy lodges are a reason to start earlier, not to rush the stairs. Porter support stays with the same team as the sanctuary nights. If someone is struggling in the basin, the day is adjusted rather than forced. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Licensed trekking guide and support crew on the route Teahouse or lodge nights as per the confirmed itinerary Meals on trek days as full board unless your confirmation states otherwise Conservation area and local municipality permits arranged for you Domestic flights or road transfers when included in the package description Airport or Thamel transfers when flight details are shared in advance Group first aid kit with the lead guide ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport or Thamel pickups International flights and Nepal visa fees Personal travel insurance including evacuation cover Personal trekking gear, snacks, and bottled drinks Tips for guides, porters, and drivers Lodge extras such as hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging Costs from weather delays or voluntary itinerary changes ### Kit list Broken-in hiking boots and moisture-wicking layers Insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag rated for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, and personal medications Passport copies and insurance documents ## FAQs ### When is the best season for Annapurna Base Camp? Spring rhododendron and autumn clarity are the favourite months, with Machhapuchhre often sharp above the sanctuary after a cold night. Winter is quieter and colder at the basin. Monsoon brings leeches and cloud on the lower steps. Ask us if your dates sit in late November or early March. ### How fit do I need to be? You should handle several hours of stone steps each day with a daypack, including the long pull through Chhomrong and the sanctuary basin. Hill stairs and weekend hikes prepare calves better than flat running. Poles help on the way down to Jhinu, where knees take the load. ### How high is Annapurna Base Camp? The sanctuary sits around 4,130 metres, lower than Everest Base Camp, but you still gain height quickly through the Modi Khola gorge. Guides watch for headache and poor sleep. Drink steadily, skip alcohol on higher nights, and say early if you feel off so the next stage can flex. ### What permits are arranged? Annapurna Conservation Area and local municipality permits are prepared from Kathmandu or Pokhara before you reach the Nayapul or Ghandruk trailhead. Passport copies are enough for us to file them. Keep the papers in a dry pouch because checkpoints sit on the stone staircase into the sanctuary. ### Which meals are included? Walking days are full board unless your confirmation says otherwise, with lodge breakfasts and dinners plus a teahouse lunch on the trail. Drinks, snacks, and hot showers are usually extra. Kathmandu or Pokhara meals outside any listed welcome sitting are typically your own choice. ### Is porter support included? Porter support at the ratio on your confirmation is included, typically one porter for two walkers, so you travel with a light daypack. Label bags clearly at the trailhead. Keep rain gear, water, and documents with you rather than in the porter load in case you pause for photos. ### What insurance do I need? Carry insurance that covers trekking to sanctuary altitude and helicopter rescue, even though this peak is lower than Everest routes. Evacuation from the gorge still happens by air when trails are slow. Keep the policy in your daypack and share the number with your guide. ### How does weather affect the sanctuary? Afternoon cloud is common, and snow can dust the basin even in spring. Rain gear belongs in the daypack on every walking day. Your guide may start earlier to reach viewpoints before cloud builds. Avalanche noise from hanging ice is normal; stay on marked paths near the headwall. ### Can I join as a solo traveller? Yes. Departures can run with one guest, and you will meet other walkers on the popular sanctuary steps and in lodge dining rooms. Private dates for friends or a family are available when lodges have space. Adventuro Chat is the simplest way to ask about a specific week. ### Where do we meet? You start in Thamel, Kathmandu, with airport or hotel pickup when flight details are shared, then fly to Pokhara before the walk into Ghandruk. Lakeside is the short hop that puts Machhapuchhre on the skyline. Stay contactable the evening before the domestic flight in case timings shift. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-01_at_11.18.45_AM_u09zyd-2.webp - **Gallery image count**: 1 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
