Annapurna Base Camp Trek Itinerary with Ghorepani and Poon Hill – 14 Days
The journey begins in Kathmandu before continuing to Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna region. From there, the trekking route passes through forests, traditional villages and mountain viewpoints before reaching Annapurna Base Camp.
Days 1–2: Kathmandu to Pokhara
Arrive in Kathmandu, explore the city according to your schedule and continue to Pokhara by road or flight. Pokhara is a lakeside city and the starting point for many treks in the Annapurna region.
Days 3–7: Trek Through Villages and Forests
Begin trekking through forested trails and traditional villages, including Ulleri, Ghorepani, Tadapani and Chhomrong. The route includes the sunrise viewpoint at Poon Hill (3,210 m) and offers changing landscapes, local cultural encounters and views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).
Days 8–11: Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 Metres
Continue towards Annapurna Base Camp, entering the mountain sanctuary surrounded by prominent Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna I, Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre. After reaching base camp, descend through the sanctuary towards Dovan and Jhinu Danda.
Days 12–14: Ghandruk, Pokhara and Kathmandu
Continue to Ghandruk, a traditional Gurung village known for its cultural heritage and mountain views. From Ghandruk, drive by private jeep to Pokhara and enjoy some leisure time. On Day 13, fly back to Kathmandu, with the final day reserved for departure.
The complete day-by-day schedule is provided in the Detailed Itinerary section of the tour page.
Ghorepani and Poon Hill: More Than a Base Camp Trek
One of the distinguishing features of this itinerary is its inclusion of Ghorepani and Poon Hill. These locations add variety to the trekking experience before the route continues towards Annapurna Base Camp.
Poon Hill is known for its mountain viewpoint, while Ghorepani and Tadapani offer opportunities to experience village life and forested mountain trails. The additional route makes this itinerary different from the shorter, more direct approach to Annapurna Base Camp.
Cultural Connections and Local Hospitality
The Annapurna region is home to Gurung and Magar communities, whose traditions and local hospitality contribute to the trekking experience.
Staying in mountain teahouses provides opportunities to interact with local people, experience traditional meals and learn about daily life in Himalayan villages. Respecting local customs and supporting local businesses are important parts of responsible trekking.
