Overview
Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is a customized trek designed after a tremendous demand from our client’s side. We do not hide the beauty of the Annapurna region of Nepal from anyone around the world. And so is the charm of Annapurna Base Camp! Many travelers have described this place as a natural paradise. The stunning views of white glittering mountains rising tall one over the other.
What could be more captivating? It’s a place where heaven turns out to be a myth and Annapurna Base Camp – an inevitable truth. Many visitors come to Nepal each year to relish the beauty of Annapurna Base Camp, but it lays a few backs because of time constraints. Sadly, many visitors have to return because they do not have enough time to accomplish the standard trek to ABC (Annapurna Base Camp). Keeping the fact into consideration, Heaven Himalaya presents a concise form of Annapurna Base Camp Trek, i.e., Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek.
A short and easy trip to Annapurna Base Camp
Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is a short and easy trek that takes us to the dreamland of many fellow travelers, i.e., to the Annapurna Base Camp. Also, regarded as Annapurna Sanctuary, the journey is full of fun, adventure, and mountain views. It starts with a short flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. From Pokhara, we climb up slowly and gradually to Tikhedhunga and then to Ghorepani village. Poonhill is a popular viewpoint on the trail. Applauding the mesmerizing views of sunrise and mountains from Poonhill, the trail traverses through dense forests and settlement areas to Sinwa.
Further, we climb up to Deurali and then to Annapurna Base Camp. As soon as we reach the base camp, we will be blessed with the empowering views of mountains such as Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Gangapurna, Mt. Macchapucchre, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Lamjung, Mt. Nilgiri, and many more. After enjoying some quality time in the base camp, we drop to Bamboo and then to Pokhara via Jhinu Danda. In this way, we can accomplish the Annapurna Base Camp Trek just in 11 days.
Enjoy the verdant hills, valleys, forests with a rich ecosystem and biodiversity.
This trek is popular for mountain views and scenic views of verdant hills, valleys, and forests. The trail moves amidst Annapurna National Park, home to many species of birds, animals, floras, and faunas. So, if lucky, one may glimpse short animals like rhesus monkeys, bear, leopard, musk deer, etc. within the dense wood of pine, oak, and rhododendron. Apart from this, the trek introduces us to the rich culture of various ethnic groups living in the area. Walking past the ethnic villages on the route is an opportunity to enjoy locals’ great hospitality and know about the locals, their culture, custom, and lifestyle.
So, are you ready for this lively adventure? March to May and September to November can be the best time to opt for this trek. Do not forget to write to us or give us a direct call in case of any travel-related help!

Reviews
Trip of a lifetime- Annapurna Circuit Trek
Heaven Himalaya Team offers a magnificently arranged trekking involvement in Nepal. Ramhari answered instantly to all my messages. They make a solid effort to make your vacation in Nepal an extraordinary one and genuinely went well beyond my desires.
I couldn't remember the name of the guide but my boy, you were more than amazing. I wish you good luck in the days to come.
Everything from pickup to trekking in the mountains was very professional with excellent service.
So, I strongly suggest everyone and will trek with Heaven Himalaya again in the future.
Glorious Experience in EBC Trek
We did an EBC trek with Ram and his team back in April 2019, and it was a glorious experience. Ram is a very knowledgeable, resourceful, and very helpful guide. 2 of us got unwell during the trek, and he was very prompt and took care of us in any way that was available.
We enjoyed our chat and his sense of humor along the trail and at the teahouses. He even got us a special breakfast and pickle salad at Namche Bazaar and always fulfilled the strange request with our dietary needs. EBC trek is amazing. With Ram, it is even more spectacular. Thanks for the amazing trip. Looking forward to island peak climb in the future.
Incredible Scenery and Service
I trekked up to Basecamp with Ram and his Heaven Himalaya team last year and had incredible Scenery and Service. The scenery is just awesome, and Ram took amazing care of everyone in our group. He kept us all entertained and motivated and most importantly, healthy. Can't recommend him highly enough!
Best Experience Ever, Thank You Ram
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in the mountains. We made the Three Passes Trek in the Everest region. I can certainly say that it was the ultimate outdoor experience we have ever had, simply astonishing. I'm also very sure that a great part of enjoying that experience the way we did was thanks to our guide (Ram). He's a highly expert in the mountains and more importantly a great person with a big heart and always a smile to offer.
Everest Base Camp Trek
I did the Everest Base Camp Trek back in Nov’18 and it was an awesome experience. My guide, Ram was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and professional. He was very good in all the preparations that he made and was very attentive to my needs. He was very thorough explaining all parts of the trek and he took good care of me, especially I was exhausted on the last day of the trek, he pushed and helped me out to ensure I made it to EBC. I highly recommend going with Ram if you ever wanted to do any treks in Nepal.
