<p>The Annapurna Base Camp Trek begins today with the drive or flight to Pokhara. The flight is the luxury option as you get to enjoy the bird’s eye views of Nepal and the Himalayas from the comfort of the airplane. Moreover, you will arrive at Pokhara in just half an hour and have the rest of the day in leisure. However, budget constraints can be an issue. So our standard option is the drive via Prithvi Highway on a suitable vehicle; tourist bus or jeep depending on group size. This is also the better way to get firsthand experience of the Nepali terrain and landscape before you begin the actual trekking. We will explore the lakeside and chill in the evening.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Hotel, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>After breakfast, we will have a 1-2 hour long drive to the trailhead at Nayapul. Here, the trail diverges to multiple routes, Ghorepani, Jhinu and more. As we are taking the direct route, our destination will be jhinu Danda. The ‘warm up’ trek involves making a few ascents and descents through the forested trails and crossing a suspension bridge before we finally reach Jhinu Danda. The natural hot springs here are always a refreshing experience for travelers and locals alike.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Hotel, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>As we are slowly gaining altitude, the landscape will begin to open up and offer some pleasing views of mountain vistas today. We will first head to Chhomrong where we can already witness the amazing view of Annapurna South (7219m) and Machhapuchhare (6993m). From here, we will have to make an uphill ascent and climb through the stone staircase. Through the day, we will cross the Chhomrong River, pass Sinuwa, trek through the Modi Khola Valley and pass Bamboo to finally reach Dobhan.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Hotel, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>The trek today will likely be the toughest but also the most important day of the trek. The trail passes leads you from Dobhan up to Hinku, and eventually to the village of Deurali. We will have a brief stop at Deurali for lunch where you can take some time to interact with the locals and also take a detailed look at the scenery around you. After a while, the journey resumes past Bagar and we will eventually reach over 4,000 meters at the Machhapuchhare Base Camp (MBC). A couple more hours of trekking, or rather ascending, from MBC finally leads us to our destination, the Annapurna Base Camp. Situated at 4,130m, the highest point of our trek, the Annapurna Base Camp offers stunning close up views of a panorama of peaks from Machhapuchhare and Gangapurna to Hiunchuli and Annapurna. We will take our time enjoying the magnificence of our surrounding and stay overnight at the lodge.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Lodge, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>After an early breakfast, we will head out for the longest day of trekking. Take a breath of relief though as most of the trekking today is descending, so you will likely have an easier time compared to the previous days. </p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Lodge, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>With the hard part of our trek behind us, today’s journey is mostly an easy albeit long descent. Take your time to enjoy the stunning scenery on the trail today. Our overnight stay will be at a lodge in Tolka.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Lodge, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>Today will be the last day of trekking. Public transportation is available at various points of the trail. After we reach Phedi, we will also catch a bus for a half hour ride to Pokhara. In Pokhara, you will first check in to the hotel and then you can spend the rest of the day as you please. Most people prefer to simply relax at the hotel and unwind from the exhaustion of the trek with a warm shower and tasty meal. However, strolling around the lakeside and exploring a bit of Pokhara’s magic is also a good idea.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Lodge, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>Similar to before, we can get to Kathmandu either by road or flight. The classic option is to take a bus or a private vehicle and drive along the Prithivi highway. This route involves passing by Damauli, Muglin and Kurintar and arriving at Kathmandu in 5-6 hours. If you wish to go for a flight instead, then you’ll get to enjoy the magnificent aerial views of the Annapurna region. You’ll also arrive at Kathmandu in just half an hour, which means a full day to spend in the capital as you like. In the evening, we will have traditional Nepali cuisine as farewell dinner at a restaurant.</p><p>Accommodation – Overnight at Hotel, Meals – Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</p>

<p>We hope your time with Mountain Layers Treks has been a good one. After breakfast, you can visit Thamel for some souvenir shopping or check out from the hotel if you have a flight scheduled. Our representative will assist you with reaching the airport a few hours before flight time. We wish you a safe flight home, farewell!</p><p>Meals – Breakfast</p>
