Description

Trek to Annapurna Base Camp from Pokhara, staying in village homestays and sharing traditional meals with the Gurung and Magar communities.
Begin your adventure in Pokhara and trek through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and cascading rivers. Each day brings you closer to the Annapurna Sanctuary, where towering peaks like Annapurna I (8,091m), Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli rise dramatically around you.

Stay in family-run homestays and traditional guesthouses, share meals cooked with fresh local ingredients, and learn about the customs of Gurung and Magar communities. In Jhinu Danda, unwind in natural hot springs before returning to Pokhara.
