Trekking route
The Pokhara Valley where your trek starts is a magnificent lush place covered with rice fields.
The Annapurna BC trek has relatively gentle trails and is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal. The trail climbs gradually up for pleasant walking days. You’ll hike through rhododendron and oak forests and reach Ghorepani village with stunning panoramic views of the Annapurna range along the way.
Training
This Annapurna Base Camp Trek is suitable for good walkers who can to walk for 4 - 7 hours per day with a backpack. Some of the days are quite long and the walking gets more arduous with the altitude. The trail is a good trek, but occasionally it will be rough, bumpy and rocky. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a non-technical trek but walks for long hours to villages up to alt. 4000m can be strenuous.
Prepare yourself physically especially as the walk can be tiring at altitude and while crossing the passes. Altitude has to be considered as you can suffer from AMS. We will require a medical certificate that allows you to take part of the trek.

They will assist you at all times and also share their innermost knowledge of the region, the traditions and the culture. They are assisted by a strong team of outgoing and experienced cooks, assistant guides, porters, and Yak men.
