Drive from Pokhara to Siwai, about three hours on a winding road, then walk through terraced fields and forest to Jhinu Danda at 1,780 m. The route follows the east-bank footpath through Kyumi and New Bridge rather than the jeep track on the west side, with the Modi Khola roaring below. The first miles are warm and steep, and the stone staircases come early. Jhinu Danda is a small village of lodges, with views of Annapurna South and the Modi valley, and natural hot springs a short walk below in the valley. Rest your legs here and enjoy the evening.

Musim terbaik: Mar–May, Oct–Nov · Permit: Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit (ACAP), TIMS card where required
The Annapurna Base Camp trek (ABC) climbs the Modi Khola valley from the foothills near Pokhara into the Annapurna Sanctuary, a high basin ringed by Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre and Gangapurna. This plan takes seven days from Pokhara: a drive to Siwai and a walk to Jhinu Danda, a day through Chhomrong and the forest to Bamboo, a climb to Deurali, the walk through Machhapuchhre Base Camp to ABC at 4,130 m, and a return in three days that includes the Jhinu hot springs. It is a moderate trek with steep stone stairways, mostly in forest, with teahouses at every stop. It suits fit beginners and first-timers who can walk five to seven hours a day at altitude, and it is busiest in October and April. It suits fit beginners and first-time Himalayan trekkers who can manage steep stone staircases and cold nights at the top.
What the trek is like
The first days are steep and humid, with long staircases above the Modi Khola and many suspension bridges. Chhomrong is the last big Gurung village, with views of Annapurna South, and from Bamboo the valley narrows into a gorge where avalanche chutes cross the path in winter. Above Deurali the forest ends and the trail climbs along the moraine to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (about 3,700 m) and then to ABC, where the walls of the sanctuary stand on every side. Nights at ABC are very cold, so bring a warm sleeping bag.
Highlights
- Chhomrong and its views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre
- Rhododendron and bamboo forest between Sinuwa and Deurali
- Machhapuchhre Base Camp and the final walk to the sanctuary
- Sunrise from ABC over Annapurna I, Gangapurna and Hiunchuli
- Natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda on the way down
Permits and rules
You need an Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit (ACAP) and, where the checkpoint or agency requires it, a TIMS card. Permits are checked at the Birethanti or Siwai checkposts. The Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule requires foreign trekkers to use a licensed guide in national parks and conservation areas, and 2026 operator reports say checkpoints enforce it in Annapurna (ACAP), Langtang (the strictest) and most other parks, but not in Khumbu, where the municipality opted out (checked 19 October 2026). See the guide rule by region. Check current permit costs at the Nepal Tourism Board.
Best season
October and November have the clearest skies and the most visitors. March to May brings rhododendron blooms, warmer days and some haze. Winter and early spring carry a real avalanche risk between Deurali and the sanctuary, and the monsoon (June to August) makes the steps slippery and leech-ridden. If you trek after snow, ask lodge owners about conditions, and consider waiting a day.
Altitude and pacing
You gain over 2,300 m between Jhinu Danda (1,780 m) and ABC (4,130 m) in three days, which is fast. Many trekkers add a night at Himalaya or Deurali, or at Machhapuchhre Base Camp, to improve acclimatisation. Headaches or nausea at Deurali or MBC mean stopping; do not continue up with worsening symptoms. Drink water, walk slowly and be willing to descend.
Getting there and away
A jeep or taxi from Pokhara to Siwai takes about 3 hours, and from there the trail climbs to Jhinu Danda via a new road and a footpath on the east bank. The return trek follows the same trail, and the last stretch from New Bridge to Siwai is a short walk on the east-bank footpath (the west-bank track is a jeep road). A jeep from Siwai returns to Pokhara in a few hours.
Lodges, food and costs
Teahouses along the route are plentiful until Deurali, with only a few at MBC and ABC. Rooms are cheap if you eat meals at the lodge, and meal prices rise with altitude. Hot showers are available lower down and a gas-heated shower at Jhinu. ABC lodges are basic, and queues for beds form in October.
Packing list
Waterproof boots, down jacket, fleece, shell, warm hat and gloves, a sleeping bag rated to about -10 C, trekking poles, sunscreen, sunglasses, headlamp, water purification, and a first-aid kit with blister care.
Who this trek suits and how to prepare
The trek suits fit beginners and first-time Himalayan trekkers who can handle five to seven hours of walking and thousands of steps. Prepare with stair climbing and hill walks, and practise with a loaded daypack. The steepest sections come early, so building leg strength helps. Pack lightly: porters carry heavy loads on stairs, and a smaller pack makes the days easier.
The plan at a glance
Day 1 drives to Siwai and walks to Jhinu Danda (1,780 m). Day 2 climbs through Chhomrong to Bamboo (2,310 m), and day 3 climbs to Deurali (3,230 m). Day 4 reaches Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m) via Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Day 5 descends to Bamboo, day 6 to Jhinu Danda and its hot springs, and day 7 walks out and drives to Pokhara.
Practical tips from the trail
- Bring a headlamp for the pre-dawn walk to see sunrise from ABC.
- Use trekking poles on the long stone staircases; they protect your knees.
- Book lodging early in October and April, because ABC and MBC fill quickly.
- Take warm clothes for ABC: nights are well below freezing.
- Ask lodge owners about avalanche conditions before moving from Deurali.
- The hot springs at Jhinu Danda are a short walk down a steep path; bring a towel and a torch for the return.
Responsible trekking
Do not buy bottled water in the sanctuary: bring purification tablets or use the refill points. Carry out your rubbish, because waste at ABC is a problem. Spend money in the lodges and hire local guides and porters.

Peta laluan
Hari demi hari
Anda tidur 530 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
Climb the long stone staircase to Chhomrong, the largest Gurung village on the route, with panoramic views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre. After a break for tea, descend again to the Chhomrong Khola and climb through bamboo forest to Sinuwa and Bamboo, at 2,310 m. The trail is up and down, with many steps, and the forest is cool and damp. Bamboo has several simple lodges, and you can hear the river below. It is a long day of about six hours, so start early and eat a hearty lunch.
Anda tidur 920 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
Continue climbing through bamboo and rhododendron forest, past Dovan and the Himalaya Hotel, where the trail steepens and the valley narrows. In spring the forest is full of flowers; in winter the gorge can have avalanche chutes crossing the path, so ask lodges about conditions before moving. The path reaches Deurali at 3,230 m, above the treeline, with big views of Machhapuchhre and the Modi Khola gorge. Lodges are small and the nights are cold. Drink plenty of water and watch for early signs of altitude sickness, because you are gaining height quickly.
Anda tidur 900 m lebih tinggi daripada malam sebelumnya, melebihi garis panduan biasa 500 m. Berjalan perlahan, minum banyak air dan perhatikan sakit kepala atau loya.
Climb out of the gorge past the avalanche-prone slopes above Deurali, taking care in cold months, and follow the moraine to Machhapuchhre Base Camp at about 3,700 m. A final climb along the Modi Khola moraine takes you into the amphitheatre of Annapurna Base Camp, at 4,130 m. Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna and Machhapuchhre surround the lodges. It is a cold night, with sunrise lighting up the wall of peaks in the morning. Walk slowly and be willing to stop if symptoms of altitude sickness appear.
Rise early for sunrise at ABC, when the peaks glow orange and the air is still, then have breakfast and start down. The descent to Deurali and the Himalaya Hotel is fast, and you pass through bamboo forest to Bamboo, at 2,310 m. Thicker air will help you sleep better. The knees take the strain on the long staircases, so use poles and take your time. Take care on avalanche slopes after snow. You retrace your steps through Dovan and Sinuwa, with the Modi Khola beside you, and reach Bamboo for a night of well-earned rest.
Continue down through the forest to Sinuwa and climb the staircase back up to Chhomrong for a final view of Annapurna South, then descend the steep steps to Jhinu Danda at 1,780 m. In the afternoon, walk down to the hot springs by the river for a soak, which many trekkers consider the highlight of the day. The path is steep and slippery when wet, so take it slowly. Jhinu has a number of lodges with simple rooms. This is a good chance to wash, rest and share stories with other trekkers before the last day.
Walk down the east bank of the Modi Khola through Kyumi and New Bridge, on the footpath beside the river, to the road at Siwai, a walk of two to three hours. A jeep takes you back to Pokhara in about three hours, passing villages and terraces. If you have energy, visit Pokhara's lakeside for a meal and a stroll. The walk is gentle and mostly downhill, and the valley looks different in the morning light. Tip your guide and porters if you have them, and make sure your gear is dry before packing.

Soalan lazim
Moderate. Days are five to seven hours with many steep stone steps, and the altitude gain between Jhinu and ABC is fast. Fit beginners can do it with a sensible pace.
This plan takes 7 days from Pokhara. Eight to ten days gives a gentler pace with an acclimatisation night.
ABC is at 4,130 m. Machhapuchhre Base Camp is a little over 3,700 m.
Yes, between Deurali and the sanctuary after snowfall, especially in winter and spring. Ask lodges about conditions and avoid crossing chutes in warm afternoon sun.
October and November, and March to May. The monsoon makes the trail wet and cloudy.
A licensed guide is required in practice: the Nepal Tourism Board April 2023 rule is enforced at checkpoints in Annapurna and Langtang and most parks (2026 operator reports, checked 19 October 2026). A guide is recommended in winter and after snow.
