A part of the famed Annapurna circuit this trek can be done as a part of the 3 week Annapurna circuit or as a stand-alone trek done in 8 days. We begin the trek from Pokhara a quaint town located below the mighty Annapurna range and dotted with lakes and fast-flowing rivers. A quick 20-minute flight or a beautiful 6-hour drive from Kathmandu brings you to Pokhara. This trek is characterized by lush semi-tropical forests in the low lands to pine and deciduous forests in the middle range to alpine yak meadows and cold shrublands in the higher reaches. while the lower reaches have a sprinkling of multiple ethnicities with their diverse culture and habits, the middle ranges are mostly people of Gurung ethnicity. The higher reaches are inhabited by people of the Tibetan stock, this trek besides taking you through a myriad of vegetation and landscape also gives you a peek into the lifestyle and culture of the various ethnicities that call Nepal home.

Hotels, Tea Houses and Lodges

The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek in Nepal is a popular and stunning trekking route that takes you through a variety of landscapes, from lush forests to high mountain deserts, with incredible views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Along the trail, you’ll find a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences. Here are some common types of accommodation you can expect on the ABC trek:

Teahouses (Lodges): Teahouses are the most common form of accommodation on the ABC trek. They are basic but comfortable, offering private or shared rooms with twin beds and simple bedding. Most teahouses have communal dining areas where you can enjoy meals and meet other trekkers. Facilities vary from teahouse to teahouse, but you can generally expect shared bathrooms with squat or Western-style toilets and hot showers (often for an additional fee). Keep in mind that teahouses may become crowded during the peak trekking season, so it’s a good idea to book in advance or arrive early to secure a room.
Guesthouses: Some guesthouses along the trail offer slightly more comfort than teahouses, with private rooms that may have attached bathrooms. These tend to be a bit more expensive than teahouses but still provide a reasonably comfortable option.
Camping: If you prefer a more secluded experience or if you’re trekking with a larger group, you can also camp along the ABC trek. This requires bringing your own camping gear or hiring it in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Be sure to check with local authorities and trekking agencies for the latest information on camping regulations and permit requirements.
Homestays: In some villages, you may have the opportunity to stay with local families, providing a more immersive cultural experience. Homestays are usually basic but authentic, and you’ll get a chance to interact with the locals and learn about their way of life.
High-Altitude Lodges: As you gain altitude on the trek, the accommodation options may become more basic due to the harsher conditions at higher elevations. These lodges may have limited facilities, and you might have to share a room with other trekkers.
