The Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a tailored trek package in the Annapurna region for those with limited time and a dream of standing on the Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 meters). We have designed this ABC tour as a shorter alternative to longer and classic ABC Trek experiences. This short Annapurna Base Camp trekking cuts the duration of the trek down to just 6 days. The trek begins from Pokhara on day one. The route passes through Gurung villages, rhododendron forest, Modi Khola Valley and up into the Annapurna Sanctuary with some of the most dramatic high-altitude terrain on earth. Despite the trek being shorter, you'll visit not one but two base camps, Machhapuchhre Base Camp(MBC) at 3,700 meters elevation and the Annapurna Base Camp itself. You can see Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Annapurna III (7,555m), Gangapurna (7,455m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), Machhapuchhre (6,993m) and another eight thousander Dhaulagiri (8,167m). Even with a shorter itinerary you can witness the panoramic view that few treks anywhere in the world can match. This is the centerpiece of our short trek which still provides the complete experience of ABC in lesser trekking days. From Pokhara, the trek covers approximately 55 kilometers excluding the vehicle transfer distance. It involves trekking for 4 to 6 hours per day, with the longest day being the descent from ABC to Bamboo. Our itinerary is designed to allow for gradual and safe acclimatization. The best time for the short Annapurna Base Camp trek is during the spring season from March to May and the autumn season from September to November. Spring brings the blooming season with rhododendron, wildflowers, vibrant landscape and reliable morning skies. And autumn delivers the clearest skies and views, bright days and crisp visibility following the monsoon. It is suited for trekkers with a moderate to good fitness level. It delivers every experience of Annapurna Base Camp in a short time frame. Book your spot now to experience the beauty of Annapurna sanctuary and the Himalayas.
