7 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek

My husband and I went to Nepal in February 2016. Since I waited for this trip for 20 years I really wanted to do it the best way. We decided to trek the Annapurna Base Camp for 7 days. This trip involves walking 4-5 hours a day and takes you along the Himalayan Range of mountains. We started with warm weather and eventually faced rain, ice, and snow. Taking a guide with us was the best idea. The trek starts in Pokhara, a lovely city 6 hours away by bus from Kathmandu. It has a peaceful lake and a Temple (Peace Stupa) on top of a mountain. Nearby, you can visit the Tibetan Refugees Camps, where Tibetan monks and other citizens try to make a life away from home. There are many good agencies in Kathmandu, I can recommend the one I chose: Alpine Eco Trek and Expedition (www.alpineecotrek.com) Ram was extremely helpful helping us to organize our trip via email and providing a guide and helper (Ram Gopal and Amit) who were polite, helpful, answered all our questions during the trek and never let us down. I will never forget the blue skies and clear air of Annapurna.  

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek in just 7 days is for those who do not have much time and still want to enjoy the beautiful scenery on their way to the Annapurna Base Camp. The people and the breathtaking views make this trek something very special. The inhabitants of the area, like almost all Nepalese people, are incredibly warm and hospitable. The highlight of this trek is, of course, the Annapurna Base Camp. There are probably not many possibilities to face an 8000er within four days. Probably this trek is the best of them.  

I did 7 days ABC trek with my friends, stunningly beautiful, wonderful, breathtaking, amazing sceneries and welcoming people, quite affordable too. All in all worth the money. 

Amazing Trekking from Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and back. Our guide, Ramesh, was fantastic and our porters (Dhurba, Amit and Rajan) too. The entire team is amazing. We were always in the best of hands, whether arranging and guaranteeing our lodging during the busy ABC trekking season, or surprising us with fresh fruit after dinner, or just being patient, encouraging and in good spirits while we battled the never-ending stairs and Nepali Flat hills of the Annapurna Conservation Area. Grateful for their encouragement and smiles. I would highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek. Already dreaming of when I can return for Mount Everest Base Camp Trek.  

That was really a mesmerizing day and we suggest you visit Nepal for once. The hiking in this region was really awesome. Those stunning mountains were worth watching. The wonderful people and hospitality were great. We are happy that we trekked Annapurna with Ram. We were the group of 10 peoples and Alpine Eco Trek one of the leading trekking agency in Kathmandu, Nepal and Mr. Ram help us lot during the trek. If you are planning to visit Nepal then do trek Annapurna Base camp 7 days, this will be the best holiday for you. 

I am a 59 year old woman. I was initially attracted to Alpine Eco Trek because their prices were just over a half of some of the other trekking companies. I flew to Nepal to trek Annapurna with my 22 year young daughter who was volunteering in Pokhara. Mr. Ram owner of Alpine Eco Trek met me when I arrived at Kathmandu airport and took me across to the Domestic airport. He had organized my flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara, and helped me book my pack onto the next flight to Pokhara. The next day he met me at Pokhara and showed my daughter and me the sights. For the 07 day Annapurna base camp trek he handed us to Guide Ram and Porter Gokul. They tailored the trek to my fitness level and we stopped when we wanted, ate when we wanted, and stayed extra nights or not. This was important because I was not as fit as my daughter, but I got much fitter the longer we walked. Over the trek, we bonded until it seemed that Ram and Gokul were part of our family. After 07 days of awesome views and majestic mountains. We returned to Pokhara, flew to Kathmandu and Ram showed us all around the Kathmandu area. The trip was a wonderful way of getting to know my daughter better and I highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek and intend to use them again.

From the moment we arrived in Nepal until boarding our flight home, the Alpine Eco Trek staff were there for us. Our guide Ram Gopal was friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to meet our needs. He made sure we were adequately prepared for each day on the trail and had a wonderful sense of humor that we thoroughly enjoyed. Given the choice of accommodations on this trek, we had the best at every stop. The food was plentiful and diverse. A cultural day with Ram Kumar and a Nepalese dinner was a wonderful ending to an amazing experience in Nepal. We would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trek. Be sure to ask for Ram G as your guide. The memories we have from this trip will last a lifetime. Thanks, Ram Kumar and Alpine Eco Trek Team. 

Dear Ram, I just wanted to thank you very much for your service during our trip. We had a really wonderful time. Our guide and porter were very lovely people to trek with and we would definitely recommend your service to others. Thank you for promptly responding to concerns and questions by email and phone, even when a situation arose during the trek, you were very responsive and fair in your business practices. 

7 Days in the Annapurna Himalayan trails were made by our self-help trek. Fortunately, before the departure, Ram helped us with many details of routes, accommodations, high altitude sickness, etc. His guide and porters are very professional and friendly. It is expected that they will call Ram when they encounter unexpected matters during the trip and Ram tries his best with great solutions. Next time, when I go to Nepal, I will definitely find Ram for another trek. 

We were very happy with our guide, Sarjan, who helped us out in the challenging situations of the long and exhausting descent from Annapurna Base Camp. The overall planning of our 7 days ABC trip by Alpine Eco Trek was excellent. Highly recommend to everyone.  

I visited Nepal last month for the first time. I was hesitant about choosing the right travel agency. Luckily, a friend recommended Alpine Eco Trek and I am truly grateful to have found this company. From my arrival in Nepal until my final hours, my guide from Alpine Eco Trek, Ram Adhikari, was by my side helping to make my trip smooth and stress-free. Even when I wanted to make changes to the itinerary, the flexible nature of the company would always make things right according to my demands. Alpine Eco Trek made my first trip to Nepal memorable and I will contact them when I return to Nepal. I highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek to anybody who is planning to visit Nepal and wishing to do Annapurna Base Camp trek.  

I came to know Dhurba and Amit through Alpine Eco Trek as they were my assigned guide and porter. But through the course of my trip, they were rather like my friends. Dhurba was well experienced and had intense knowledge about every part of the trek. Along with the details about the trek, he would also share stories and facts about the history as well as the culture of the places we would pass through. On the other hand, Amit was also a great companion. Both Dhurba and Amit were kind and helpful. I thank both these good guys for being there as a friend as well as helping me throughout the trek and I would not hesitate to recommend 7 days Annapurna base camp trek to my friends with these guys from AET. 

The 7-day Annapurna Base camp trek fit right into the kind of trip I was looking for, and surely, I do not regret going for this trek. I got the chance to witness the surreal beauty of Nepal in just seven days. Trekking through the gorgeous lush valleys and rising to the laps of the great massifs was a tremendous experience. Thanks to my tour operator Alpine Eco Trek, everything from transportation services to lodging was taken care of; all I had to do was enjoy the trek. I recommend this trek to those who are short on time but would like to experience the majestic Himalayas. Also, I recommend you contact Alpine Eco Trek to have a safe and enjoyable journey.

While preparing for the 7 Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek, I searched online about the accommodation services in the Annapurna region. I found that ABC trek is one of the most famous tea-house trekking destinations in Nepal. One of the most memorable memories I made during the trek was at the Himalaya Hotel. This hotel is set right below the shadow of the Annapurna massifs, at a very high altitude. The panoramic scene I could see from my room was one of the best views I have ever seen. With a warm bed and delicious meal after a long day, it felt like a second home for me and my friends.  

We started our trip to the Annapurna region from Pokhara, the city of lakes. It was indeed a beautiful city. From Pokhara, we had to drive till Dhampus Phedi, from where our trek started. The rugged terrain and rural villages welcomed us as we started trekking. Upon arriving at Chhomrong, we could see the mesmerizing Annapurna ranges including Mount Fishtail and Annapurna South. The trails were more of an uphill climb after staying a night at Chhomrong. Crossing suspension bridges above the gushing waters and walking through the lush rhododendron forests was a mesmerizing experience. Continuing our journey to the Himalaya Hotel and Machhapuchhre Base Camp, all we could see was the clear, breath-taking views of the snowy peaks right in front of us. When we finally reached Annapurna Base Camp, we stood there spellbound as we viewed the stunning and majestic Annapurna peaks. Deciding to trek to the Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp was one of the best decisions we ever made. With the glorious views of the peaks such as Machhapuchhre, Gangapurna, Himchuli, Annapurna I, Annapurna South, and Annapurna III, our journey was a blissful experience. Thanks to Ram and Alpine Eco Trek team for your friendly and outstanding services. We will definitely recommend 7 days Annapurna Base Camp trek to our friends.   

My trek to the Annapurna Base Camp was truly a fascinating and enlightening journey. I could observe and experience the rich culture of the Himalayan nation. In the lower villages like Chomrong and Tolka, I passed by the small Gurung and Magar villages. The settlements were very lively, and the people were very welcoming. I also checked in a museum that presented the rich Gurung culture through pictures, and artifacts. The higher altitude regions were highly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. I got to indulge in the local culture and also learned how to circumambulate around the stupas. 

In the journey to Annapurna Base Camp, there are many natural hot springs famous for having a relaxing bath. I had heard about it, so I went to one of the hot springs while on the trekking journey. My muscles were instantly relaxed after a long day of walking. These hot springs are very famous among trekkers as well as the locals. The locals believe that the hot springs have healing properties. The 7 day Annapurna Base Camp trek passes through the Annapurna sanctuary which is home to some rare and endangered species. However, I was not lucky enough to be able to spot any of the rare animals. Nonetheless, it was an exciting journey. I was able to view the most amazing sunrise and sunset in my life. I was speechless to see the golden rays of light reflecting from the grand icy peaks. During my trek, I was able to create the best memories with nature.

I booked 7 days Annapurna base camp trek with Alpine Eco Trek and traveling with them is very easy. During the trek, I did not have to worry about finding lodges to stop for the night. I would reach my destination for the day, and a warm meal would be waiting for me. I could sleep soundly in a comfortable bed to wake up energized the next day. Even around such remote regions, the quality of service in the teahouses and lodges were great. One of the nights was extremely cold and the owner of the teahouse we were staying at was kind enough to give us extra blankets for the night. I recommend Alpine Eco Trek for an enjoyable traveling experience. Their planned itineraries and the services that come along are exceptional and worth the price.
