Why This Trip is Special
Here are a few reasons why you'll love this adventure as much as we do
Stand in a 360° Mountain Sanctuary
The trek's ultimate reward: arriving in the Annapurna Sanctuary. You'll spend a night in an awesome natural amphitheatre, walled by some of the highest peaks on earth like Annapurna I and the iconic Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
Watch a Famous Himalayan Sunrise
Experience one of Nepal's most iconic moments. A pre-dawn hike to the top of Poon Hill (3,210m) reveals a breathtaking panoramic sunrise over the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges. It's a memory, and a photo, that will last a lifetime.
Trek Through Traditional Villages
This isn't just a mountain trek; it's a cultural journey. You'll walk through charming Gurung and Magar villages, stay in family-run teahouses, and get a real sense of the warmth and resilience of Himalayan life.

The views are relentless and rewarding. From the epic Poon Hill sunrise to the Annapurna Sanctuary itself, you'll get up close to two of the world's ten highest peaks: Dhaulagiri I and Annapurna I.
Me and my friend had the holiday of a lifetime with them! We completed the Annapurna base camp trek and it was one of the best experiences ever, made all the more so by our wonderful guide Janu, and our amazing porters. Janu was an excellent guide, demonstrating in depth knowledge of trekking, the mountains and first aid. He is also kind, funny and supportive and made my friend and I feel so looked after throughout our trek. Would highly recommend to anyone.

How fit do I need to be?

How High Do We Go?
Max height 4,130m. Gradual ascent and savvy guides keep altitude worries low.
Creature Comforts
Four comfy hotel nights; eight simple teahouses. Hot showers most days, no room heating.
Am I Fit Enough And Can I Handle The Altitude?
Slow ascent, oximeter checks and an acclimatisation buffer keep altitude worries low—reasonably fit walkers routinely conquer this challenge
What our adventurers say
Hiking the Annapurna Base Camp trek was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Traveling to the other side of the world can be quite a stressful endeavor but they made it so easy. Every step of the way they were there for us. They handled all of the transportation, communication, meals and navigation. All we had to do was hike, enjoy the beauty of Nepal and take in the amazing culture of the Himalaya. We’re looking forward to trekking the Himalayas again, with you as our guides!
Harold Weber
Amazing trek to the Annapurna Base Camp. The trek is not only getting to the famed Annapurna base camp’s signpost. The magnificent mountains, gorgeous valleys, colorful villages, bird’s chirping, clean air, combine to form a satisfying sensory experiences. Life in the mountain villages is characterized by simplicity and modesty. The journey itself is always more than its destination. The most memorable trekking trip i have had. ABC is so rewarding in every aspect.
