Overview

10 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek   is a an exciting journey that harmoniously incorporates all the features and attributes of Annapurna Conservation Area to offer short trekking experience for travelers who are short on time.

ABC Trek -10 Days  is one of the most eccentric yet common trekking destination in mid-western Himalaya of Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp lures thousands of trekkers to enjoy its astounding blend of nature and Himalayan culture. The trekking route offers the grand scenery of ice giants like Mt. Annapurna I, II, III, & IV, Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Machhapuchhre and numbers of other peaks.

 

The magical forest, rocky trail, glacial rivers, cultural villages and beautiful pasture make this one of the best trek in Himalaya. The good thing is; it takes just 10 days to complete the entire trek. Equally popular Everest Base Camp Trek takes at least 14 days and is very expensive compared to Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

 

Annapurna Base Camp nestles at 4,130m; so acclimatization is the major factor. Annapurna Base camp trek 10 Days itinerary ensures proper acclimatization by limiting gain in daily altitude. The trek, however is easy, and can be accomplished by anyone reasonably fit.

 

Nepal 10 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek goes through picturesque villages and discover their unique culture and tradition. We will stay at local tea-house which allows firsthand experience of daily their daily lifestyle. The region is per-dominantly inhabited by Tibet-Ber mo group – Magar and Gurung. There are known for their bravery in British Gurkha Regiment.

 

10 Days ABC Trek Difficulties

We walk between 5 – 7 hours a day – the trek duration depends on the pace. Remember the trek comprises numbers of ups and downs and some flat. At some point, you have negotiate with lots of stairs.

The 10 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek difficulties level is Moderate, the maximum altitude is 4130 meter high at the base camp. It  isn’t too bad  and the route we follow on itinerary offers plenty of time to rest when needed. You can use hiking poles to help relieve you joints while up and down on mountain.

 

Accommodation

Along the trail, there are numerous tea house lodge accommodations. While the facilities are basic, you can expect comfort, and the beds are arranged on a twin-sharing basis.

During peak seasons such as October, November, and March to April, securing accommodation in advance is advisable due to high demand. In the place like Bamboo, Deurali, and Base Camp, where rooms typically have 3 or 4 beds, sharing with fellow trekkers is common. In the off-season, private rooms may be available.

 

Internet and Wi-Fi Availability:

Unfortunately, there is no Wi-Fi available during the ABC trek. We recommend purchasing a local SIM card and utilizing a data package for internet access during your journey. This will ensure that you stay connected and have access to essential communication throughout the trek.

 

Drinking Water:

Most tea houses along the trail provide access to boiled and purified drinking water, as well as bottled water and hot water. Boiled water is priced between Rs 80 to 150 per liter, depending on your location. Bottled water typically costs Rs 150 to 250 per bottle.

 

Hot Shower:

Hot showers are available during the initial trekking days, usually for the first 3 to 4 nights, with prices ranging between Rs. 200 – 500 per person. However, there are no hot shower facilities at the base camp due to the absence of a water source. As they rely on melted snow for cooking and drinking water, cold showers are available for free. We recommend opting for a hot water shower, considering the extreme cold conditions at higher altitudes.

 

Meals:

The lodges where you stay offer a variety of meal options. We recommend trying the authentic Nepali cuisine – Daal Bhaat & Tarkari, which is fulfilling and provides essential calories. Additionally, there are alternative international dishes available, including pasta, noodle soup, momo, pizza, and more.

 

Cold Weather in ABC Trek

When trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp during the Spring and Autumn seasons, be prepared for chilly nights and mornings, especially at the base camp itself. Temperatures can drop below -5 degrees Celsius during these times, but the daytime offers a comfortable and warm experience with plenty of sunshine.

In contrast, traveling in the winter season brings even colder conditions. Even in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, temperatures at lower altitudes hover around 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, while at higher altitudes exceeding 3000 meters, temperatures can plummet to -8 to 10 degrees Celsius. Ensure you pack accordingly and layer up to stay warm, particularly during the colder months.
