Besides the Everest Base Camp trek, the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek 7 Days is a dream for many adventure seekers worldwide. Standing 4130 meters, the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Route goes through Mount Annapurna, the 10th highest peak. One of the longest trekking routes is the Annapurna Circuit Trek.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days Itinerary starts from the lively village of Jhinu Danda, near Pokhara. Witness the small villages of Ghandruk and Chhomrong living between the mountains. The journey to Annapurna Base Camp combines spiritual growth, natural beauty, and adventure. 

Walk past the forest of the national flower of Nepal, the Rhododendron. Witness the locals passing on their ancient customs and clothes to the following generation.  

Annapurna trek offers a rare insight into people blending with nature. Stone houses, gumbas, buddhist shrines, temples, and little to no transport facilities will give you a feeling of an old time. As you hike up, the facilities get rarer, and the mountains take over.

Sheep, Himalayan Monal, Snow Pigeon, Langur Monkeys, and Himalayan Thar can be seen grazing throughout the trek. 
Extend your trek and hike to one of the popular Mardi Himal Trek near Annapurna Base Camp.  The hikers themselves choose how difficult the Annapurna Base Camp is. Embark on the stunning journey and challenge yourself.

Essential Information

Best Time to Do the 7 Days ABC Trek 

Spring (March to May) and Fall (September to November) are undoubtedly the perfect times to trek in the Himalaya region, especially Annapurna Base Camp. The weather and the temperature fit perfectly for the 6-7 hours daily walk. Nights are cool, and almost no snow-related accidents this season. Surroundings are clear, and trails are safe. However, booking in advance is highly recommended. 

During monsoon and winter, some trekkers can be seen. The weather and temperate might not be friendly, and the trails are not safe. Hiring porters and guides is a must as a safety precaution. Accommodations are cheap and almost no crowd.

Meals and Accommodation  

Teahouses, guest houses, and lodges are the main accommodation facilities. Trekkers can share the room or can get private rooms with added costs. Although simple, the facilities are kept clean and structurally sound. The reception area of the guest house is equipped with basic bedding amenities like blankets and mattresses.

While meals are mostly Nepali options, some items may also be customized to the trekkers' liking or preference. Here are some of the major services in the trekking itinerary:

  • Dal Bhat: This is a strict Nepali dish that is made of rice, lentils, and vegetable curry.

  • Momos: This is one of the Nepalese dishes served as a steamed and fried dumpling in Tibetan style.

  • Noodles, soups, and pasta can depend on the taste and financial plan of the trekker.

Trekking Difficulty for the 7-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp is a moderate level, but it requires strong willpower and fitness. The trekkers need to walk for 5-6 hours daily through rough terrain and trails. Some trekkers might experience low energy and heavy breathing. Sore muscles, minor blisters, and headaches are normal for beginner trekkers. 

These problems and difficulties are manageable. Aclimatizing and exercise are the main keys to avoiding these problems. Hiking above the height of 5000 meters is not easy for everybody.
