Overview

It is frequently a long and difficult journey to the Himalayas, and this is further worse if base camp of any kind is involved. Extra if the sights in the end will be sights you have never seen before, the difficult Himalayan paths make the trail even harder if you are embarking on a lengthy journey. In just eight days, the Annapurna Short Trek transports you to the base camps of not one, but two separate Himalayas, namely Machhapuchhre (6,993m) and Annapurna I (8,091m).Even though the hardship of the walk shouldn’t be a major issue, this excursion somewhat lessens it, leaving you with nothing more than a heart full of Himalayan goodness. The Annapurna Short Trek transports us to the prized Annapurna region and is one of the most amazing short treks throughout the Himalayas, especially one that leads to the base camps. You’ll have plenty of time throughout this little hike to ponder the serene Himalayas and your own life.

Our brief journey of the Annapurnas begins with a romantic flight to the breathtaking Pokhara valley. Before landing in Pokhara, the plane takes us far over the valleys so we can have our first look of the Himalayas. Before starting the trek towards Chomrong for our first night on the move, we take a lovely drive to Kilue. The trail enters the Himalayas after passing the thriving Gurung hamlets of Sinuwa, Bamboo, and Dovan, where it is greeted with breathtaking vistas of Machhapuchhre (6,993m), Annapurna South (7,219m), and Hiunchuli (6,441m). To fully appreciate the stunning landscape of the Annapurna region, we’ll even tour the Hinku cave along the way.After the Himalaya, the trail begins to ascent, through glacial moraines on its way to the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, which is located before the actual Annapurna Base Camp. We start our descent by going down to Sinuwa and then back to Kilue while taking in the breathtaking Himalayan vista from base camp. We drive back to Kathmandu after going back to Pokhara to complete our journey.

Day 2

We start the walk by traveling to the charming city of Pokhara on the first day. We fly for 30 minutes across valleys of lush greenery before arriving at the breathtaking Himalayas.

The trail departs the charming town and continues past the river before returning to the beautiful green woodlands after descending the steep stairway to the riverbed. We will stop for a short break when we ascend to Sinuwa Hamlet to take in the magnificent Himalayas in the distance. Before arriving in Himalaya for the night, the trail leads us through a succession of ascents and descents to old communities like Bamboo and Dovan. a night in the Himalayas.

Day 4

We set off on our adventure to the Annapurna Base Camp, which is situated at an elevation of 4,130m, with the Himalayas as our constant companion. The Hinku cave, which was frequently utilized by early Annapurna expeditions as a resting and resupply location, is reached by the trail as it ascends from the Himalaya. After an hour of walking from the cave, we arrive at the village of Deurali, beyond which the trail ascends through landslide-ravaged terrain. The difficult ascent via the glacier moraines leads us to the Annapurna Base Camp when we first arrive at the Machhapuchhre Base Camp. ABC overnight.

Day 5

To ensure that we do not miss the stunning Himalayan dawn from base camp, the day starts early. You wouldn’t want to miss the magnificent Himalayan view, which includes the Annapurna I (8,091m), II (7,937m), South (7,219m), and Dhaulagiri (8,167m) Himalayas, all of which are bathed in the morning sun’s golden rays.

Day 6

Today is the last day of the hike, and we return to Kilue before taking the bus to Pokhara. With the breathtaking Himalayan panorama at our backs, we leave Sinuwa. Before arriving in Chhomrong, the trail gradually decelerates back to the Himalaya. The route arrives at Kilue as the escalating hills gradually obscure the distant Himalayas. We return to Pokhara and proceed straight to the hotel before spending a great evening in the lovely city. Sleep in Pokhara.

Day 7

We get an early start and travel back to Kathmandu, the nation’s capital, for the evening. You have the option of driving or taking a flight back to Kathmandu, depending on your time limits. Flying home gives you extra time to take in the magnificent landmarks dotted across the capital city as well as some alone time. Driving back to the city takes more time, but in exchange, you get breath-taking vistas of the rolling countryside next to the peaceful Trishuli River. Spend the night in Kathmandu.

Day 8
