The Annapurna Base Camp Trek, often referred to as the ABC trek, is a sought-after journey nestled in the heart of Nepal's Annapurna region. This trek is a blend of diverse terrains, from verdant forests to quaint villages, leading trekkers to the iconic Annapurna Base Camp.
At an elevation of 4,130 meters, the base camp unveils panoramic vistas of majestic peaks, with Annapurna I, standing tall at 8,091 meters, being a prominent highlight.
While many embark on the ABC trek from Nayapul, our unique route commences from Banthati, adapting to the evolving landscape due to road development. This path leads you through enchanting places such as Ghorepani and Chhomrong, gateways to the vibrant culture and traditions of the Gurung and Magar communities. Their warm hospitality and age-old customs enrich your trekking experience.
Ascending further, you'll transition from lush greenery to the alpine expanses, eventually reaching the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, or the "Fishtail Base Camp" at 3,700 meters. Named after the iconic Machhapuchhre peak, this camp is a prelude to the final ascent to the ABC base camp.
Surrounded by a majestic amphitheater of peaks like Annapurna South and Hiunchuli, the base camp offers an unparalleled close-up of the Himalayan grandeur.
Typically spanning 13 days, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is tailored for those with a moderate fitness level and some prior trekking experience.
The ABC trek is not just a journey through trails, it's an unforgettable experience that takes you deep into Nepal's natural beauty and rich culture. Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Annapurna massif, this trek offers lasting memories and a true sense of achievement.

We had great experience with the Triglav Tours team. They were always available, responsive and helpful. They arranged our trip during high season and managed to find solutions were other agencies did not. Thank you Eva and the entire Triglav Tours team!
I have a lot of experience hiking in the mountains but still chose to book a guide, as I have neither the gear nor experience in via ferrata climbing. It turned out to be a really good idea! Prior to the trip, I had contact with the organizer and a video call where I could ask questions, which provided a good basis for deciding which trip was right for me. We were three women + our guide Jakob. On day 2, we started very early before sunrise, which gave us a bit more space on the trail and the pleasure of watching the sun rise over the mountain. Jakob was incredibly good at making our small group function, even though our levels were quite varied. I have a fear of heights, but I didn't feel unsafe at all. It was really nice that there was time to clip us into the wire. Back at the cabin, we had breakfast before heading back down towards the car. An absolutely fantastic trip that requires good physical fitness.
The Tour du Mont Blanc was easily one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken in years. From breathtaking views and warm, welcoming people to delicious food and charming mountain huts, every aspect of the journey was unforgettable. The hikes were significantly more challenging than I had anticipated, but the reward was well worth the effort. I can’t overstate how much smoother and more stress-free the experience was thanks to Hut to Hut’s incredibly detailed guides. Having accommodations pre-booked, access to a well-designed GPS trail map, and a comprehensive guide outlining what to expect, what to pack, and what to watch out for made all the difference. If you’re considering hiking the TMB, I wholeheartedly recommend booking with Hut to Hut. Their support turned a great adventure into an exceptional one.
