The main ascent starts for the day from here and you will be ascending for the next 2-2.5 hours depending on the pace.

Trek Route: Your trek starts today with a checkpoint where your ACAP ( Annapurna Conservation Area permit ) and TIMS ( trekkers information management system ) permits would be checked. TIMS is regularly neglected by many trekkers who are trekking alone, but we highly recommend you to get it beforehand.


We call the route today: the stairway to heaven. You will see a lot of cute cafes and Baristas enroute today. We usually stop at one of them when we are returning. Yes, we are taking the same way back.


Once you cross the bridge at the bottom of the stairs, you will again start descending for the next 1.5 hours. Another 1 hour from the top will take you closer to the Machapuchare View point.

DAY 07 : ANNAPURNA BASE TO BAMBOO

Some chai with the view ? Asked one of our porters

In memory of Kazakh Climbers

Starting Altitude:13,550 ft (4,130 m)

Resting Altitude: 7,675 ft (2,339 m)


Duration of the trek today:8-9 hours, 15.5 km approx.

After spending about 20 odd hours in the base camp, we start our descent back on the same path. Today is a long day, so do wear your Knee braces if you have got one.

If you have trekking poles, I recommend using 2 of them. It will drastically decrease the impact such long treks have on your Knees.

DAY 08 : BAMBOO TO JHINU

Starting Altitude: 7,675 ft (2,339 m)

Resting Altitude: 5,770 ft (1,759 m)

DAY 09 : JHINU TO SYAULI BAZAAR; LEAVE FOR POKHARA

The day has come. Today we party Hard. Pokhara has a lot of shops and you might find something interesting here to take home.

You can either take an overnight bus today to Kathmandu or take an early morning domestic flight on next day.

Most flights back to India is in the afternoon, so you can safely take a morning flight.

DAY 10 : FLY OUT OF KATHMANDU

IF YOU ARE PLANNING EXTRA NEPAL SIGHTSEEING

DAY 11 : ASIAS 3RD HIGHEST BUNGEE & OVERNIGHT BUS TO POKHARA

The bungee cord is hung from the middle of a suspension bridge and it dives right into the valley.

It takes about 3 hours one side and we will be back by 6 pm only. After a good dinner in Pokhara, tonight you can take an overnight bus today to Kathmandu.

Note: Flights in Nepal can delay a lot and quite frequently. If there is Fog, the flight may not take off only.

TRIP REVIEWS

Krishnan - Annapurna Base camp
Krishnan Thampi

I like action packed suspense thriller movie rather than a boring drama, same is the case with my travel choice. I am a traveller who would like to explore and experience things and places, an action packed one rather than a boring tour. My experience with Vyshakh' one in the orange jacket team is amazing, really an action packed thriller and would love to do more exploration with him.
