Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek Overview
The Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is a scenic Himalayan adventure that takes you to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m / 13,550 ft). It is a fast-paced trek that lies in the Annapurna region of central Nepal.
Your journey begins with a drive from Pokhara (820 m / 2,690 ft) to Kimche (1,784 m / 5,853 ft) via Nayapul and Syauli Bazaar.
From here, you continue the route on foot through terraced hills and forested slopes to Ghandruk (1,940 m / 6,365 ft). It is a traditional Gurung village known for its stone-paved alleys and slate-roofed houses.
You head towards Chomrong (2,170 m / 7,119 ft), a village mainly inhabited by the Gurung community. The village has well-established lodges, teahouses, and bakeries for trekkers. As you approach, you get clearer views of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
The trail takes you through dense rhododendron, bamboo, and oak forests to Dovan and Bamboo. Then you continue along the steep stone steps after crossing the Chomrong Khola on a suspension bridge. The final stretch leads you to Sinuwa, a peaceful stop surrounded by dense forest.
Leaving the dense forest behind in the Himalaya, the path continues deeper into the sanctuary. As you approach Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,720 m / 12,205 ft), the landscape opens into alpine terrain.
Alongside the Modi Khola valley, the trail enters the wide Annapurna Sanctuary above the tree line. You pass Farsang and memorial shrines before a gentle uphill walk to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m / 13,550 ft). The amphitheater of snow-covered peaks makes it the highlight of the trek.
At the top, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna surround you. You can take time for panoramic mountain views and explore the high-altitude surroundings.
You retrace the trail from Machhapuchhre Base Camp and continue downhill to Bamboo (2,350 m / 7,710 ft). As you descend, the air warms and the landscape turns greener.
The trail then continues through the forest to Jhinu Danda (1,780 m / 5,840 ft). After the long hours of trekking, you can relax in the natural hot springs beside the Modi Khola.
On the final day, the local bus drives you from Jhinu Danda to Nayapul (1,050 m / 3,445 ft) and continues to Pokhara. Reaching Pokhara marks the end of your seven-day Annapurna Base Camp adventure.
Note
The Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek begins with a 6–7 hour drive (around 200 km) from Kathmandu to Pokhara by tourist bus, which is included in the package. For a faster, more comfortable journey, you can choose a 20-minute flight or a private vehicle to Pokhara for an additional cost.
We recommend arriving in Kathmandu at least one day before the trek, preferably by 3 p.m. It gives you enough time for final preparations and any last-minute arrangements.

Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek Itinerary
Drive from Pokhara (1,070 m / 3,510 ft) to Kimche (1,784 m / 5,853 ft). Trek to Ghandruk (1,940 m / 6,364 ft)
We begin our Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek with a scenic drive from Pokhara through Nayapul and Syauli Bazaar to Kimche.
The road follows the Modi Khola area through terraced hills and green countryside before reaching Ghandruk, the starting point of our trek.
Pokhara → Nayapul → Syauli Bazar → Kimche → Ghandruk
From Kimche, the trail is relatively short toward Ghandruk, a well-known Gurung village in the Annapurna region. Traditional stone houses, mountain views, and local indigenous culture give us our first taste of rich customs and lifestyles.
You spend the night in Ghandruk, enjoying views of the surrounding mountains: Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre. Here, you will not miss a chance to explore Buddhist monasteries and the Gurung Museum.
Trek from Ghandruk (1,940 m / 6,364 ft) to Chhomrong (2,170 m / 7,120 ft)
After breakfast, we leave Ghandruk and follow the trail toward Chhomrong. The route takes you down into a river gorge and back up, passing through small ridge settlements and hillside hamlets.
Ghandruk → Komrong Danda → Kimrung Khola → Gurjung → Chhomrong
With a cup of tea, you follow the hillside trail toward Komrong Danda. The route alternates between forest and open sections, with terraced slopes and distant mountain views appearing between the trees.
From the ridge, the trail drops steeply toward the Kimrong Khola. You descend through rhododendron and oak forests and cross the river on a suspension bridge.
The trail then takes you uphill on the other side of the gorge toward Gurjung. Small hillside communities and farmed slopes appear along the way.
You reach Chhomrong after a final ascent from Gurjung. The village stretches along a steep hillside and offers views toward Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. It is your final stop for today, with plenty of teahouses and bakeries to enjoy.
Trek from Chhomrong (2,170 m / 7,120 ft) to Himalaya (2,900 m / 9,515 ft)
Today, we leave Chhomrong and descend toward the river before ascending back through dense forest. The trail gradually becomes quieter and more rugged as we move deeper into the valley, ending at Himalaya.
Chhomrong → Sinuwa → Khuldigar → Bamboo → Dovan → Himalaya
You have breakfast at Chhomrong and begin the journey toward the Chhomrong Khola. Crossing the suspension bridge, you follow an uphill trek toward Sinuwa. The forest becomes denser here, with rhododendron, bamboo, and other vegetation surrounding the trail.
The trail continues to Khuldigar through a quieter woodland, following the valley contours. You walk between steep green slopes, with occasional openings giving you glimpses of the valley below.
After another stretch through the forest, you reach Bamboo, a small village in the Annapurna region. The village sits beside the trail in a narrow valley, giving you a quiet place to rest before heading deeper into the mountains.
From Bamboo, you continue toward Dovan through thick forest. As you go deeper into the valley, you can hear the Modi Khola flowing nearby.
You finish the day at Himalaya after continuing through the forest above Dovan. The surroundings become increasingly rugged as the valley narrows and the elevation rises.
Trek from Himalaya (2,900 m / 9,515 ft) to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m / 13,550 ft) through Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,720 m / 12,205 ft)
Today is the most important day of your Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek as you enter the Annapurna Sanctuary and reach Annapurna Base Camp.
Himalaya → Deurali → Machhapuchhre Base Camp → Annapurna Base Camp
You leave Himalaya after breakfast and follow the Modi Khola through a narrow valley toward Deurali. The trail passes waterfalls, bamboo patches, and the Hinku Cave, with steep cliff walls along the way.
Some sections can be prone to avalanches, so you need to follow your guide’s instructions carefully.
From Deurali, the trail continues deeper into the sanctuary along the Modi Khola. The vegetation gradually thins as you move above the tree line, and the valley opens into a broad glacial landscape surrounded by towering peaks.
You reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp and continue along the gradual trail toward the Base Camp. The surrounding mountains become increasingly beautiful and dramatic as you move above the tree line.
The final stretch leads you into the open basin of Annapurna Base Camp. Here, you are surrounded by Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre, with the massive Annapurna glacier adding to the scenery.
Trek from Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m / 13,550 ft) to Bamboo (2,350 m / 7,700 ft)
Today, we leave Annapurna Base Camp in the morning and retrace the trail toward Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The landscape changes as we gradually descend through the sanctuary.
ABC → Machhapuchhre Base Camp → Deurali → Himalaya → Dovan → Bamboo
At Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the trail looks more sheltered as you move away from the open alpine valley. Machhapuchhre remains prominent behind you while the lower slopes gradually come back into view.
Passing along the rocky slopes, glaciers, and snow-covered peaks, you continue down to Deurali. As you lose altitude, the rocky landscape slowly gives way to more vegetation. You can see that low shrubs and grasses begin to appear around the trail.
Beyond Deurali, you pass through Himalaya, where the trail enters denser woodland. You walk among rhododendron, bamboo, and moss-covered trees as the valley becomes greener.
The warmer air and thicker forest show that you are gradually returning to the lower valley. You continue through Dovan and deeper into the forest. Following the Modi Khola through the narrow valley, you cross thick vegetation and steep slopes.
You finally reach Bamboo, a small, well-known village surrounded by lush forest. After the stark alpine landscape of ABC, you can see the clear change in altitude and scenery.
Trek from Bamboo (2,350 m / 7,700 ft) to Jhinu Danda (1,780 m / 6,393 ft)
Day 6 ends your trekking-on-foot experience in the Annapurna region. Today, you leave Bamboo and retrace the forested trail toward Chhomrong before descending to Jhinu Danda. The route takes you through lush woodland and steep hillside trails as you gradually lose altitude.
Bamboo → Sinuwa → Chhomrong → Jhinu Danda
After breakfast at Bamboo, you continue through the forest to Sinuwa. The trail is surrounded by bamboo and rhododendron, with occasional openings giving you views of the hills across the valley.
From Sinuwa, you continue toward Chhomrong along the familiar hillside route. As you leave the forest, the village gradually comes into view.
You then walk down long stone staircases from Chhomrong toward the Chhomrong Khola. Be cautious and follow your guide’s instructions while walking on the steep slopes.
As you cross the suspension bridge, you pass down through the small farm fields to reach Jhinu Danda. The village is known for its natural hot springs, located downhill near the river, where you can relax after the trek.
Drive from Jhinu Danda (1,780 m / 6,393 ft) to Pokhara (1,070 m / 3,510 ft)
Day 7 is the last day of your Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek Journey. Today, you continue your return journey by bus from Jhinu Danda to Pokhara.
Jhinu Danda → Siwai → Syauli Bazaar → Birethanti → Nayapul → Pokhara
After breakfast, you drive from Jhinu Danda toward Siwai, following the winding mountain road through green hills and small communities.
You continue to the broader and more settled valleys through Syauli Bazaar and Birethanti. You pass the terraced fields, local villages, and the changing landscape of the lower Annapurna region.
You then drive through Nayapul and continue along the road toward Pokhara. As the hills open into the wider valley, you arrive in Pokhara. It marks the completion of your 7-day Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek.
