Trip overview

Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek – 7 Days From Pokhara

The 7-day Annapurna Base Camp short Trek from Pokhara is an easy-going walk through a short scenic route of unmatchable Himalayan beauty via Jinuwa Danda. The cool trip takes you to the base of the 10th highest peak on earth, Annapurna 1. The autumn season drums for trekking will beat sooner rather than later. Return to what you love doing most, getting back to the mountains…

7 Days Shortest ABC Trek from Pokhara begins with a short drive from the ‘City of Lakes’ Pokhara. After that, our actual hiking starts from the Ghandruk Phedi trail onwards. Likewise, the path continues through typical beautiful villages and lush forests of the Annapurna Region of Nepal. The short Annapurna sanctuary trek from Pokhara 07 Days includes the general route and minimum required days. However, Ghorepani Poon Hill is not in the mix. Nevertheless, halfway between heaven & earth, the sounds of local life grow faint & conversations freeze. In other words, the footsteps of men are uncommon hereabouts. But this is where you’ll find the ‘Peace of God’’ as you get near the base camp’s blue-hued peaks. Your heart skips a beat as you see them glow under starlight! Trekkers can customize the itinerary according to their needs.

Shortest Annapurna base camp Trek from Pokhara

ABC Trek in September/October is the perfect time for this outing. This beautiful Short trek in Nepal is a travel plan from HVT Trekkers who have the opportunity to set foot on two popular base camps – namely: 4130m Annapurna Base Camp & 3700m Machhapuchre Base Camp. Conversing with the local Gurung people on the 7-day short ABC trek from Pokhara is an important highlight of this trip. Himalaya View Treks provides experienced trekking guides, sturdy porters, warm lodges, and healthy food. Traveling alone would mean you’ll need a personal guide for your safety. If this is so, we’ll arrange some of the best porter guides on our payrolls. Therefore, this is possible from Pokhara for Annapurna and Lukla for Everest.

We can provide you with a similar short trip in the Everest area with our popular 08 days Lukla to EBC Trek.  The only reason for our short treks is to give you the best within the shortest possible period if you’re cramped for time. This is a dramatic trek amid landscapes said to be one of the best on earth in the heart of the Annapurna range.

Trail Length

The distance between the base camp and Pokhara is around 101.1 kilometers. It is the highest distance that you cover during the trek. There are many downhill, uphill, rugged trails and glacier walking. For any average person, trekking that distance is not an easy activity. Long-distance trekking can become tiring but end result is rewarding.

Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness is the biggest factor on this trip. The maximum height on this trip is 2170 m from sea level. Therefore, AMS's chances are very less but it can happen. However, it is not very serious altitude to get caught by altitude sickness. The trip starts from Pokhara which is at 800 m. The change in altitude is the major cause of altitude sickness. Proper acclimatization is needed. Therefore, our itinerary focuses more on the client’s safety.

Weather & Climatic Conditions

Nepal’s mountain region has unpredictable weather and climatic conditions. Day temperature is normal but night hours are pretty freezing. Weather can change drastically in just an hour. Expect unexpected changes in climate and weather. However, the team will analyze the situation and decide whether to push.

Trekking Preparation

The best way to prepare for climbing is by doing cardiovascular workouts. These kinds of cardio exercises help to increase lung capacity. In order to climb the mountain, you need strong and healthy lungs.

Do some strength-building training like planks, push-ups, and squats. Cycling is also the best option to prepare your body for climbing. Always start these activities 4-5 months before traveling to Nepal for climbing.

Amazing guide company エベレスト街道で15日間のガイドをお願いしました。我々は友達と3人でしたがみんなに親切丁寧にガイドしてくれ大変助かりました。ルクラへの飛行機が天候不良で5日間も乗ることができずラメチャップ空港で困ってるときには偶然同じ会社の別のガイドとでくわし、飛行機をあきらめジープで行く方法を提案してくれブブサまで案内してくれた。また我々のガイドもブブサまで迎えに来てくれた。日程が厳しくなったにもかかわらず何とか目的地まで行く工程をくんでくれ、おかげで大変楽しいトレッキングとなった。来年行く予定の友達にもこのガイド会社をすすめておきます。

George and Daniel Weller trekking with Sobit Fantastic experience. Sobit, our guide, was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and so friendly and helpful. We had a great time with him and lots of laughs - especially when Sobit got his playing cards out! Sobit is such a lovely man - I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of trekking to Base Camp. We trusted him completely and felt totally safe with him. My son and I will miss Sobit and hope to see him again some time in the future.

Gokyo, Renjo, Cho Oyu base, 5th loop. (Guide - Prayash) Awesome trek, very well organised and our guide was awesome. Prayash had really good knowledge of all the mountains, told us about Sherpa culture, old trails and all sorts of cool info. He was a funny guy and we really enjoyed trekking with him. Always happy to look after you or help out. Will be recommending Prayash to our friends and if we trek this region again he is our guide for sure! Legend! Our guide Prayash was also super fit and it was nice to trek with someone who was happy to chill when the scenery was nice and happy to move quickly when we needed to. Prayash is pretty good at cards too 🃏 Everything was taken care of from Kathmandu and made our trip really easy and enjoyable. The tea houses we stayed in were all great and had amazing food.

Once in a lifetime experience!!! Just returned home from a fantastic adventure holiday on the EBC trek. Himalaya View Treks couldn't of been more helpful from choosing and booking our trek before we arrived through to dropping us back to the airport once we had finished , nothing was too much trouble. Before coming to Nepal me and my dad was unsure if we needed a guide however we are now so pleased that we decided to get one. Sobit our guide made the experience so much better as he took care of all the arrangements and organising leaving us to concentrate on the trek and enjoy the scenery without any stress. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Himalaya View Treks and would request Sobit as a guide as he was brilliant!!!!

Increíble experiencia en Poon Hill Nuestra experiencia fue fantástica, tanto el trato recibido por Suraj (nuestro guía) como por Jivan (nuestro porteador) fue genial. Estuvieron muy atentos a nosotros en todo momento siempre dispuestos a ayudar y a resolver nuestras dudas. Hicimos la ruta de Poon Hill a través del bosque de Rhododendros. La ruta nos llevo por sitios increíbles durante cinco días y cuatro noches. Es una ruta muy recomendable tanto por las vistas a largo del camino como por el amanecer en el mirador de Poon Hill a 3210m desde donde podemos ver algunas de las montañas más impresionantes del mundo.

Authentic experience! We booked our Thorang La Pass tour woth Himalaya View Treks and we were not disappointed! Communication with Simbir was great and prompt and he provided all the required information we needed. We had an excellent guide - DB and excellent porter - Manoj. Both were very good at their job, they made us feel safe and provided tips along the whole trek. DB is very knowledgeable on all the mountains in the Himalayas and he explained all the scenery along the trek. We also learnt a lot about the Nepalese culture. They pushed us so that we made it to the top and we were so proud to have made it! Very satisfied with everything, couldn't recommend the company, guide and porter enough!!

Himalaya View Treks exceeded my expectations. My guide, Ram Gurung did a great job leading us EBC. The 2 week EBC trek was a success. The itinerary was smooth with lodging, food, and guiding. I recommend Mr. Simbir & Himalayan View Treks for your time in Nepal.

Mr. Simbir from Himalaya View provided us (me 63 and my wife 61) a porter cum guide from Lukla on the EBC trek in March and April 2022. We successfully completed the trek, everything went without the slightest problems, the negotiations were simple and the agency absolutely reliable . Our porter cum guide Yuba Raj carried our 15 kg backpack, reliably guided us through the entire two-week trek and solved all our worries with accommodation, meals and itinerary. We became very fond of Yuba.Highly recommended.

It was awesome experience with Himalaya view Treks, when we travelled to Nepal for Trekking to EBC and next year Annapurna Circuit. Porter cum guide provided both time was talented as well as good nature. Mr. Singbir is such a good and jolly guide who helped us at kathmandu apart from trekking also. We will always use his Himalaya View Treks services for any future treks in Nepal.

Everything was great with Himalaya View Treks (Simbir ji) and we would gladly choose his company again. We had hired Dewan ji as our Porter-cum-guide from Lukla for our EBC trek and we had an excellent 12 days with him and enjoyed our trek thoroughly. He was very competent and caring and we also made him practice his Hindi a lot ;) Made friends with both of them and this trek was surely a memorable experience. We gladly recommend them to anyone without a doubt :) Thank you Simbir ji and Dewan ji for everything :)
