Review of the 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trek from Pokhara, with mountain scenery, village trails, a natural hot spring, meals, guides, and permits.
“This is an excellent trek and one I would highly recommend. The landscape and scenery is very varied, constantly changing and has a stunning conclusion. The distance each day is easily manageable with lots of refreshment options along the way. The accommodation is varied but more than adequate given the location as was the meal options.

Review the 5-day Annapurna Base Camp trek from Pokhara, with mountain views, village trails, guide support, hot springs, costs, and practical tips.
“It was a mix of amazing, scary and tiring! I wish we had a little longer to enjoy the mountain views and the hikes (5 days was a little intense - wish we did 7). Also going during off season meant the weather was a little worse than hoped for. We ended up having to climb over 4 avalanches to get down, however, Kaji (our guide) helped us throughout!! If you are not comfortable with long hikes or snow/ice do longer than 5 days and wait until the season starts. All that said it was amazing! Most beautiful place I have ever been. Would definitely recommend this company as they…”
