Trip Introduction: 15 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trekking 2023/2024-the most picturesque, quaint, and thrilling trekking trails in Nepal 

15 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is a pearl of an adventure. It is a heaven on earth in fact a treasure trove of awe-inspiring landscapes glorious mountain peaks and cultural diversity. 

Why is Annapurna Base Camp Trek so Popular? Why should I choose Annapurna Base camp for my trekking vacation in Nepal?

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is one of the most picturesque, quaint, and thrilling trekking trails in Nepal. The Annapurna region is located in north-central Nepal and it stretches over 55 kilometers that comprise valleys, rivers, and foothills. It nestles thirty peaks higher than 6,000 and 8 out of fourteen eight thousand high mountains can be sighted right here on this trek. This has always drawn adventurers from all over the world to be on a roller coaster of a trek that is limitless and perfect. Annapurna Base Camp Trek probably is one of the most popular trekking itineraries in Nepal. Though the journey up in the mountains can be tiring at times, but the rewards you get in terms of its panoramic views are priceless.

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Trail can be best attempted during the spring season. This is by far one of the best to see the unrivaled nature in its perfect bloom. 15 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek begins from Nayapul. It is a thrilling drive of about 2 hrs from Pokhara, the trail leads you through to the fascinating traditional villages of Nepal’s ethnic communities of Gurungs and Magar. We make our way through the dense rhododendron forest with towering snowy peaks in the background. The breathtaking view of an early morning sunrise at Poon Hill is mesmerizing. The rays of the first sun rays seep through shimmering gaps over the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountains. We continue the trail leaving the quaint cultural happening surrounding we enter the alpine circuit. A noticeable change in the landscape becomes prominent as we tread past the Machhapuchhre Base Camp to finally reach the Annapurna Base Camp trekking destination. It is nature’s lively amphitheater adorned with some of the highest peaks in the world. The sightings of the ever-present Annapurna I (8090 m), Annapurna South (7222 m), the fishtail Machapuchhre (6993 m), and Hiunchuli (6441 m) blow you away. After cherishing and gathering memorable experiences at the Base Camp, we retrace back to Nayapul, this is where our fairy tale of an adventure comes to an end. If this is what you are looking for then come and join the people who share similar interests as you accompany them on the journey to the Himalayas. Nepal Trekking Planner takes you on a roller coaster of a trek in the terrain that goes up and down. Also, you get to travel on one of the most sought high-altitude treks in Nepal with ease.

How difficult is the Annapurna Base Camp trekking journey?

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is not a difficult walk to look at it, but there are some challenges associated with this trek. Some common factors such as duration and distance of the trip, altitude sickness, preparedness, and trekking season, can make the trekking journey hard at times. However, with a little bit of physical endurance and good mental soundness, it can be achieved. Be informed that this trekking circuit involves a lot of ups and down. As you go to higher altitudes there is always a lack of oxygen during that can zap off your energy within minutes. But despite this, it is one of the lower and easier treks. So at any given point in time if you are determined and have an average fitness level it is achievable. 

Is Annapurna Base Camp/Annapurna Sanctuary safe for trekking?

Yes, Annapurna Base Camp/Annapurna Sanctuary absolutely safe for Trekking. Be reminded though that trekking is an adventure sport that comes with seen and unforeseen risks. There are few instances where avalanches have occurred in these areas but it’s rare and with anticipation and preparedness it can be avoided. Besides this, the Nepal Trekking Planners trek team is always well equipped to tackle any kind of accident if it occurs. The team always carries an oximeter, blood pressure monitor, stretcher, oxygen cylinder, walkie-talkies, and a high-altitude medical kit. We take great care in designing our treks and itineraries to ensure safety on the trek prevails at all times.

Which is the best season to visit the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking region?

Annapurna Base Camp Trek can be attempted all-round year. However, if you want it to be quaint and less trafficked then do it in the summer or monsoon season with preparedness. In the summer/monsoon (June, July, and August), the temperature ranges between 19°C/66.2°F to 4°C/39.2°F which results in a strong haze from the sun and heavy rainfall.

Ideally to get the best moods of nature and the weather we recommend you choose either autumn (fall) or spring to be in the Annapurna Region. The average temperature ranges between 12-21 degrees Celsius. The trekking trails are also neither too wet nor too slippery. The days are generally long and warm while the nights are comparatively cooler. As the days are brighter it provides a great opportunity to witness the green cultivable fields and the flora and fauna on the trails.

The winter months of December to February are the time when drastic changes occur in Annapurna Base Camp trekking region. The temperature ranges between 9.3°C/48.74°F to -20°C/-4°F. The weather is extremely cold and unbearable and poses all sorts of difficulties for trekking. This is the time that is not preferred by most trekkers.

Climate and Weather-Annapurna base camp

Himalayan climate can be unpredictable sometimes even in good best seasons, where April and May to first weeks of June will be the best time during spring times, when days are longer with enough sunlight hours.

Morning and night time as well in shade can be cold and much freezing temperatures around higher areas above 2,000 m.

FAQs

  • Based on location, the tea houses vary in their quality and style on this trek. Each of them has a communal room downstairs with one or two-bed bedrooms above them. You have to share toilet facilities. Some have hot shower facilities but some will have a standpipe. Tea houses use a burning stove in the main communal area. The other rooms are unheated. Tea houses do not have money exchange facilities. We recommend you exchange cash in Kathmandu.

    At lower altitudes, there is electricity to charge your electronics. As we go higher tea houses become more basic. Cooler temperatures drain battery life, ensure your batteries last a little longer by putting them inside the pocket of your coat during the day or under your pillow at night.

  • Annapurna Base Camp trek is considered a moderately strenuous trek. However, trekking in Nepal requires a lot of steep uphills and downhill walking. You must be healthy and fit and be able to trek a minimum of 4-5 hours.

  • A group will have a group leader or a guide who will lead you on the trek. Porters will be there to carry your baggage packs as well as all camping gear. One porter will carry two trekkers' bags. The number of supporting staff will depend upon your group size.

  • At most, 3-4 liters is sufficient. You will be able to refill bottles at lunchtime. When you are at a high altitude you have to drink more water to alleviate the symptoms of altitude.

  • Yes, trekking poles make it easy to walk over rough or steep terrain. Trekking poles make your body and leg move more safely. Furthermore, it will help relieve the stress on your legs. So, we suggest you use them.

  • Tea houses and other small shops on the way have stores that sell bottled water and other supplies you may desire. There are no any plastic recycling facilities in Nepal, we encourage you to bring chlorine tablets or a filter and use previously boiled water in the tea houses.

  • You have to bring iodine tablets with you. Chlorine tablets are widely available. The most effective and commonly used version of chlorine is chlorine dioxide, which is tasteless and odorless. Tablets can be bought cheaply and usually, 1 tablet is sufficient to purify 1 liter of water. Neutralizing tablets can also be bought to get rid of the smell and taste of chlorine or iodine. This will need to be done for water obtained using hand pumps or in streams during the trek.

  • Altitude produces physical changes in the body. The higher you go, the more pronounced those changes. If you gain a lot of elevation quickly then you experience dizziness, nausea, headaches, and dehydration, you are probably suffering from altitude sickness. In rare cases this may worsen, so the group leader keeps a close watch on all trekkers. The group leader is trained to recognize Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). If a trekker shows any signs of AMS they will be evacuated to a lower, safe altitude immediately. To minimize the effects of altitude you ascend slowly which allows for safe acclimatization.

  • It depends on the nature of your illness. If you suddenly feel dizzy or weak, you have to sit or lie down. If you still feel sick, keep warm and rest until you can get medical help. You will be carried down or evacuated if you do not start to feel better. Although we provide a first aid kit, we advise travelers to take a personal first aid kit too.

    In serious cases, you may need helicopter rescue. Our guide will suggest you use it if your condition is very serious. Therefore, helicopter rescue insurance is necessary for every trekker before you come to trek with Trekking Planner.

  • Yes. The weather is changeable in the Himalayas so you should expect to experience all four seasons in one day. Make sure you have plenty of warm layers which you can shed or add as required. Even in winter, it can be as warm as 19C during the day. The higher the altitude the higher the temperature difference is at night. It can get very cold at night, around -10C in October/November, and around -20C from December to February.

  • Alcohol is consumed in Nepal. You can buy it in tea houses in the trek. Local alcohol is also available. However, we suggest not to drink alcohol at high altitude.

  • Mountain weather is difficult to predict. With that being said, nights are generally cooler and the days are warm. Winter (January and February) will be colder but the days can be warm if the sun is out. There will be a bit of snow during the months of January, February, and December. It is also important to make sure that you can stay warm and dry in just about any condition.

    Amazing guides, porter and team! Highly recommend!

    I did the 15 Annapurna base camp trek with the trekking planner and it was fantastic - beyond my expectations.

    Prior to arriving, Dipak always answered my questions super quickly which was so helpful!

    The airport pick up and check in to the hotel was all taken care of and I instantly felt at ease and right at home! Dipak and his team were so welcoming and it helped me enjoy my first couple days in Nepal!

    The trek itself - wow. Binoud was my guide and he was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, caring and funny and was so generous throughout the trek. He taught me many card games and offered up his phone to play games as well! Pardip was our porter and he added such great company to the trip. Together we laughed a lot and had a lot of fun!
    Binoud shared lots of stories and information about Nepalese history and areas we hiked. He always made sure I was comfortable and safe both at the tea houses and throughout the trek. I feel lucky to have had him and Pardip as a team throughout the 10 days!

    Overall I felt just so taken care of and that everyone went above and beyond to make this experience so unforgettable!

    Trek of a lifetime with a fantastic guide and porter

    From the minute we left the airport, trekking planner ensured that everything for our stay in Nepal was organised leaving myself and my partner nothing to worry about. Big shout out to Dipak for being so on the ball organising everything. After confusion with the hotel we initially booked independently in Kathmandu, trekking planner (in particular Abhi) stepped in and sorted us a new room in a different hotel on the spot and was incredibly keen on helping us out after a long and stressful journey.

    Once in Pokhara, our fantastic guide Binod and porter Thoman were at the bus stop already waiting for us to arrive. Spending 10 days with these guys on the trek to ABC was an absolute pleasure and an experience we will never forget. Binod always ensured we were looked after throughout our time in the mountains and ensured we were always well fed in the evenings, constantly going above and beyond, with Thoman always at the next guest house already waiting with our bags in the best room possible. It was a memorable experience trekking through the Himalayas to ABC with Binod and Thoman, whilst learning about the mountains and Nepali culture.

    Having initially nothing booked after our trek, we messaged Dipak at relatively short notice to see if trekking planner could organise the remaining 10 days of our trip. Trekking planner managed to organise all transport for the remainder of our trip, and all the activities we wanted to do (including a safari, Birthplace of Buddha, cooking course and temple visits).

    If you're after a memorable and adventurous holiday in Nepal, then this is definitely the company to book with.
