Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days offers you the most stunning views of the Nepal Himalayas, where you can reach the base camp of Annapurna Summit I which is the 10th highest mountain in the world. Short ABC trekking is among one of the most popular treks in Nepal and an easy walk with plenty of acclimatization days to help you along the way.
Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is relatively less expensive compared to a regular Annapurna base camp trek itinerary 10 days and short trekking days. For experienced trekkers, the Annapurna base camp trek 7-day itinerary will take you to fantastic mountain scenery. You'll get opportunities to take amazing Annapurna pictures that will be sure to take your breath away and create some unforgettable memories from your trip to Nepal.
The best way to get to the Annapurna Base Camp short trek is to fly into Kathmandu and then take a bus or taxi to Pokhara. From Pokhara, it's about a four-hour drive and then treks to Sinuwa (2,350m) via Matqu. The first day of the ABC trekking route is an easy one, with a gentle hike through some villages and rice paddies. After that, the trail gets steeper and more challenging, but the views are worth it. On the seventh day, you'll reach the Annapurna base camp, where you can enjoy stunning views of the mountains before heading back down to Pokhara. The total distance for this trek is 55 kilometers (34 miles) over seven days.
You will pass through many small villages along the route, as well as tea houses for those who wish to stay overnight. It feels like you're walking right up into the mountains even though you're only hiking a few hundred meters from the valley floor. You can add treks after the short Annapurna base camp trek. Our recommendation is to take a 1-day Kathmandu City Tour.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days promises to be a thrilling adventure that will inspire trekkers. It depends on the individual's preferences and experiences whether this is the best time to undertake the Annapurna base camp trek. Annapurna base camp temperature in November is ideal for those who enjoy mild temperatures and breathtaking mountain views. During this time, Annapurna Base Camp temperatures range from 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. It provides trekkers with a comfortable hiking experience. On the other hand, for nature lovers who wish to witness rhododendron blooms and immerse themselves in local festivities, the Annapurna base camp trek in March is the perfect month. Trekking in spring splendor adds charm to the experience, making it truly transformative.
The Annapurna Base Camp trail, also known as ABC Trail Nepal, winds through diverse landscapes. The region is home to lush forests, terraced fields, quaint villages, and high-altitude wilderness. Our Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days Itinerary offers a safe and enriching trek that is complemented by the experience of our seasoned Annapurna Base Camp trekking guides.

The Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek typically takes 7 days, starting from Pokhara and ending back in Pokhara. This short itinerary is ideal for trekkers who want to reach Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) in a limited time without compromising scenic beauty
The total trekking distance of the ABC Short Trek is approximately 65–70 kilometers (40–43 miles), depending on trail conditions and overnight stops. Daily walking distances range from 5 km to 13 km.
The highest point of the trek is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). Proper acclimatization and a gradual ascent help reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
Yes, the Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is suitable for fit beginners with basic hiking experience. No technical climbing skills are required, but good physical fitness and preparation are important due to long walking days and elevation gain.
The best seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek are:
Spring (March–May) – Rhododendron blooms and clear mountain views
Autumn (September–February) – Stable weather and excellent visibility
These seasons offer the best trekking conditions in the Annapurna region.
Accommodation during the ABC Short Trek is in teahouses (mountain lodges). Rooms are simple but comfortable, usually twin-sharing, with shared bathrooms at higher altitudes.
Teahouses offer a variety of meals including:
Dal Bhat (rice, lentils, vegetables)
Noodles, pasta, fried rice
Soups, potatoes, pancakes, eggs
Tea, coffee, and hot drinks
Meals are nutritious and designed to support trekkers at high altitude.
Yes, hiring a licensed trekking guide is highly recommended and mandatory under Nepal trekking regulations. A professional guide improves safety, navigation, cultural understanding, and overall trekking experience.
Altitude sickness is possible above 3,000 meters, especially near Deurali, MBC, and ABC. The itinerary is designed to minimize risk through gradual ascent, hydration, and proper pacing.
You need two permits:
Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP)
TIMS Card (Trekkers’ Information Management System)
These permits are required for all trekkers entering the Annapurna region.
Yes, the trek is possible in winter (December–February), but temperatures are colder and snowfall may occur. Winter trekking offers fewer crowds and clear views but requires proper cold-weather gear.
Yes, most itineraries include a stop at Jhinu Danda hot springs, where trekkers can relax in natural pools after descending from Annapurna Base Camp.
The trek is considered moderate. Daily walks range from 4 to 7 hours, with stone staircases, uphill climbs, and long descents. Mental readiness and basic fitness are key to success.
A porter typically carries up to 20–25 kg, usually shared between two trekkers. Hiring a porter makes the trek more comfortable and supports local employment.
Northern Trekking Team offers experienced guides, flexible itineraries, excellent safety standards, and personalized service, ensuring a safe and memorable Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek experience.

Thank you very much to Mingmar and his team for this memorable trek to ABC. first three day for difficult for us since it was raining heavily but Mingmar motivated us constantly and his team make sure that we would complete the ABC trek safely with good memories. Eventually his team became like family members to us. If any one looking for trek in Nepal , I highly recommend this team.
India, Sep 20, 2023
I would give more than 5 star if there is an option. Mingmar and his team(Subhash and Porters) were amazing. Annapurna base camp is really a moderate trek however continuous rain made is very difficult for us. Mingmar kept us pushing till we completed our trek. They are always smiling and very helping. We were 6 school friends and had Really amazing time on this trekking.
