Overview And Highlights

A combo trek of three major destinations of the Annapurna region, we have designed this Tilicho Lake – Annapurna Circuit – Annapurna Base Camp Trek as a single trekking package. This trekking is comparatively adventurous and demands the experience of long days of walking.

The trek takes you to Tilicho Lake (4,920m), Crosses the Thorang La Pass (5,416m), and Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) which are the three major designations of the Annapurna area.

One of the most iconic treks in the world, the Annapurna Circuit with Base Camp Trek is sure to give you an unforgettable experience and lifelong memories.

You will be surrounded by some of the most spectacular mountains anywhere on earth, including three of the world’s highest; Annapurna 8,091mManaslu 8,163mDhauligiri 8,167m, and the “Matterhorn of the Himalayas” – Machhapuchhre.

Our trek is designed to last 18 days and includes a visit to Tilicho Lake, which at 4,920 meters above sea level is also one of the highest on earth. Starting from Kathmandu we will take either local or private transport towards Besisahar which is the gateway for the Annapurna Circuit.

Continuing the journey, we will spend our first night at Jagat before finishing the drive the following day at Chame, where the trek begins. Throughout you will stay in a wide range of villages – both Nepali and Tibetan – and you will notice the shift in cultures from place to place.

Likewise, the landscapes will start with paddy fields, farmland, and forests before getting into the more rugged beauty of the Himalayas.

Annapurna when literally translated means “Full of Food ” and the Goddess of Harvests features prominently in many of the homes. A 160km round trek, or 230km at its longest route, is suitable for first-timers and experienced trekkers alike.

This trek is one of the most popular in the region, but can also be split into sections for those with tighter time limits. Days 1-12 can easily be broken off while a 5-day trek around the Annapurna Ghorepani Poonhill trek area makes for an excellent taster for those unable to do the whole thing.

Annapurna Trekking Routes

After a daylong jeep ride from Kathmandu to Jagat via Beshishar; the trekking follows the Annapurna Circuit trekking route. But from Manang, a few days to Tilicho Lake visit and return to Shri Kharka to catch the classic Annapurna Circuit trail is an additional plan.

In the end, the trek catches the classic Annapurna Base Camp trekking route from Tatopani and is completed at Pokhara.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the famous trekking routes of Nepal as every year hundreds of trekkers visit the base camp both from inside and outside the country.

Normally, the Annapurna Base Camp trek starts from Pokhara but on this trekking package trekking circles the Annapurna range.

So, definitely, according to the altitude gain, this trekking route is quite a tough route. Also, for beginners who rarely go trekking and cannot adapt to the high altitude, this route might be risky.

However, apart from that, as a popular trekking route in Nepal, locals as well as the government has given concerned regarding its importance and have eased up the route by managing tea houses, hotels, and lodges throughout the route so that the trekkers can have enough rest and adapt the excessive change in the altitude.

As you need to reach a height of 4,130 meters, the Annapurna Base Camp trek is mostly climbing and gaining altitude. Also throughout the route, you will experience unique natural scenarios and views of majestic mountains.

Throughout the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you will be walking along the forest road surrounded by tall trees with thick bark called Daphne. Similarly, you will experience different landscapes as you get closer to the Base Camp.

To make your trek easier you can carry a walking pole along with you to take the weight off your knees. Lastly, the places that you will cover during this trek are, Nayapul (2,080m), Ghorepani (2,750m), Tadapani (2700m), Kimrung Khola (2,177m), Doban (2,670m), and Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m).

Foods and Accommodation during the Trek

You do not have to worry about the place to stay and spend the night during the trek. Throughout the trek, you will find several tea houses and lodges where you can spend a night and become safe from the cold nights.

Also, the price for the accommodations is very affordable as it costs only NRP 200 for a room. However, if you want extra service including Wi-Fi and a hot shower, you might have to pay more according to their charges.

Likewise, the price of flooding is comparatively higher in these Himalayan areas due to the difficulty in transportation. You might have to pay more than you have expected even for a glass of warm water.

The most commonly available food on the trek is dal bhat which includes steamed rice, lentils, and other vegetables. Besides a traditional dal bhat, you can also have Gurung bread and potato cake that will refill your energy.

Best Time for Trekking in Annapurna

Annapurna region is one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal. So, visiting Tilicho, Thorang La, and ABC at the right season makes your trek even more delightful and amazing.

If you plan to visit the Himalayan region like ABC, make sure that you will be able to experience the majestic view of the Himalayas as, during the off-season, you might not see a clear view of the mountains due to bad weather and foggy clouds.

Therefore, the best time to trek Annapurna Base Camp is during the months of April to May (spring) or October to November (autumn).

During these months, you get a clear sky and the best weather temperature to trek in the Himalayas. There is also less chance of bad weather and rainfall during this time making it the perfect time for trekking.

Major Highlights

  • Annapurna Base Camp at the height of 4130 meters
  • Gurung Village at Ghandruk and Chhomrong
  • Sunrise views of Annapurna Ranges from the Poon Hill
  • Enjoy the natural hot spring pool at Jhinu Danda during the ABC trek.
  • Majestic Mountain views of Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhre
  • Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP)

Things to Consider Before Starting the Trek

  • Have a look at the routes and map of the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking.
  • Gear Up with thick clothes as you will be facing an extremely cold environment in the base camp.
  • Always carry a water bottle and make sure that you refill it at every possible place.
  • If it is your first time then hire a guide and trekking porter for the trek.
  • Experience and have a taste of Nepalese and Tibetan Cuisines as you will be eating those foods throughout the trek.
  • Enjoy the natural hot spring pool at Jhinu Danda during the ABC trek.
  • Bring enough energy snacks to keep you going as you can rarely get to a shop or market on the trek.
  • Carry Nepalese rupees and know about the exchange.
  • Also, make sure to carry trekking permits for Annapurna Base Camp as it costs Rs 200 for SAARC nationals and Rs2000 for other foreigners.

Excellent Annapurna Circuit Trek Peace Nepal organized an incredible trek which included the Annapurna Circuit and a visit to Annapurna Base Camp. Our guide Prem was great company and made the experience as good as it could have possibly been. Nir was extremely welcoming when we arrived in Kathmandu and lent us several items (sleeping bag, jacket, poles) for the trek which we didn’t have, which was very kind.

Annapurna Circuit Then Trek and Tilicho Lake As a solo female traveler, and it is my first trek and visit to Nepal, I was unsure of exactly what to expect... My experience with Peace Nepal Treks was absolutely above and beyond expectations. Having arranged my trek some months earlier, contacting Nir Lama via email, I found communication to be clear and prompt. Nir was reassuring and helpful in suggesting different types of treks given my time frame. I was provided with an itinerary broken down ... + See more day to day, as well as comprehensive lists for packing and other information regarding visiting Nepal. He was also very flexible and accommodating as I changed my mind twice with dates! I was met at the airport by Nir and welcomed warmly. He collected me from my hotel the following day in order to take me to his Peace Nepal office and introduce my wonderful guide, Dupsang, the day before my departure. I felt very reassured and impressed as the route and process were explained. The trek itself was just incredible. Each day seemed more amazing than the last as we made our way around the Annapurna circuit. The detour to Lake Tilicho was one of the highlights, phenomenal!, and one I felt very lucky to see. Dupsang was so attentive, professional, and skilled in his guiding. Safety and my enjoyment were of paramount importance to him. Dupsang’s securing of accommodation in tea houses each night was flawless. His sharing of the local customs and culture as well as knowledge of the terrain was excellent - such a personable man, who I felt very sad to say farewell to at the end of our trek in Pokhara. I would highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks to anyone considering visiting Nepal. Their communication, planning, attention to safety, and detail is exemplary. The cost of the trek was also incredibly reasonable given the longer time frame of 14 days, and the fact I was travelling solo. I felt that both Nir and Dupsang went out of their way to ensure that my experience was a positive one. I was loaned equipment that I otherwise would have had to rent in Kathmandu or buy. I would dearly love to return to Nepal next year and try another trek and would definitely contact Nir and do this through Peace Nepal once again. ... - See less

If you are unsure about a trek fitting your itinerary email them with an inquiry and they will do their very best to accommodate you. ... + See more ... - See less

Annapurna Circuit + Base Camp Trek A BIG Thank You to everyone who made our trip an amazing and completely unforgettable experience! Nir was very helpful in booking everything we needed for our trip, prior, during, and after, and was very responsive to all our needs. Even during times of crisis in Nepal, i.e. with the recent earthquakes and the fuel crisis, Nir made sure that our trip was completely uninterrupted. Thank you, Nir! Bil was our tour guide and by far one of the best we had seen i ... + See more n all the other trekking groups, very honest, trustworthy, and very responsible, with a good sense of humor. He made sure during our entire trek that we were kept safe, comfortable and most of all happy with everything. He was extremely flexible and gave us plenty of alternate routes which we could choose whilst on our trek, and also gave us great insight into Nepalese culture and history along the way. Thank you, Bil! Myla and Osalal were our porters, who were very friendly and helpful, making sure we were completely comfortable along the way. They both carried multiple heavily weighted backpacks through extremely tough terrain and climate and never had an issue. Thank you Myla and Osalal! Overall our trip was an experience we will never forget and look back on forever, and one which I would recommend to anyone. The trip gave us the experience, but our group gave us the memories... Thank you very much Peace Nepal Treks! Looking forward to another great adventure in the future... All the best, Salle ... - See less

Brilliant and Responsible I can't recommend Peace Nepal Treks highly enough. I have been to the Himalayas twice and both times I have seen the good and bad of trekking guides and porters. Peace Nepal is of a very high standard and also very friendly. You will have a true Nepali experience and learn much about the country and feel confident at all times. ... + See more ... - See less

Affordable and versatile planning I found and arranged a trip to Annapurna Region for a trek with this company slightly more than a year ago. I like that the company was open to the requests of the clients, especially in my case since I wanted to combine a trek of the Annapurna Circuit with a detour to Tilicho Lake, and Annapurna Base Camp trek into a single journey. Nir from Peace Nepal Trek was able to come up with an affordable and well-thought-out Itinerary for my group. He was also able t ... + See more o arrange white water rafting, paragliding, and village visits as per our requests efficiently at an affordable price. My one-month trip to Nepal was thus really enjoyable and memorable. ... - See less

NEPAL IS AN AMAZING COUNTRY TO VISIT My name is Dan Collins, and I am from New Zealand. I visited Nepal in early 2008, during which time I trekked the Annapurna Circuit, organized through Peace Nepal Treks. Nepal is an amazing country to visit, the culture & scenery are superb, and this is all made even better when you don’t have to worry about anything because you have made arrangements with Peace Nepal Treks. Peace Nepal Treks look after you well, from picking you up from the airp ... See more ort, arranging accommodation, and their trekking guides are excellent and a lot of fun to travel with. I found the best part of their service was that even after the trek is finished, they will still look after you, show you the great sights in Nepal, and will help you or advise you with anything you may need. With Peace Nepal Treks you will gain a first hand and very personal experience of Nepali culture, which will stay with you for the rest of your life. To summaries: You can’t go wrong with Peace Nepal Treks. They are friendly, fun and intelligent people who will really enhance your experience in Nepal, and I regularly keep in contact with Nir & Bil, who I regard as my Nepali brothers. I’m happy to be contacted for more info if need be, feel free to Mail me. See less...
