Let us provide you with an overview of the route that will take you to the magnificent Annapurna Base Camp.
The journey begins upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, where one of our staff members will be waiting to receive you and transfer you to your hotel. From there, we will travel on a 6-7 hour drive to reach Pokhara. Once in Pokhara, we will continue our journey by driving to Birenthanti and then commence a hike to Ulleri. The trek resumes from Ulleri Village, leading us through Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Tadapani, and finally to Chhomrong Village.
From Chhomrong Village, we will proceed towards Dovan, Deurali, and then Machhapuchare Base Camp. After taking some well-deserved rest at the camp, we will ascend toward our ultimate destination, the Annapurna Base Camp. Following this remarkable achievement, we will make our descent to Dovan, Chhomrong, and ultimately return to Pokhara. At this point, we will have the option to either take a flight or drive back to Kathmandu, where we will bid farewell to this extraordinary journey.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Seniors distinguishes itself from standard treks in several ways.
Firstly, the distance between hiking camps is shortened in this trek. While the standard Annapurna Base Camp Trek typically takes 14 days, the senior trek extends to 15 days to allow for a more relaxed pace.
Secondly, the senior trek features shorter trekking camps compared to the standard ABC trek. For instance, in the regular ABC trek, we continue from Machhapuchare Base Camp towards the Annapurna Base Camp. However, in the senior trekking package, we will halt at Machhapuchare Base Camp while heading towards the Annapurna Base Camp.
Lastly, we will provide you with a dedicated trekking guide for the senior trek. This guide will be kind, respectful, and sensitive towards the senior members of the group. They will maintain an average pace that considers everyone's timing and speed. Priority will always be given to those who experience difficulty while walking.
The best time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Seniors and kids is during the months of March to May and September to November. While the Annapurna region can be trekked throughout the year, these specific seasons are highly recommended.
March to May falls within the Spring season, which is considered one of the best times for the trek. Similarly, September to November is in the Autumn season, also known as the peak season for the trek. The weather conditions during these seasons are generally favorable for hiking, with moderate temperatures and clear skies.
On the other hand, the monsoon season (June to August) and winter season (December to February) are not advisable for trekking due to heavy rainfall and snowfall, respectively. During these periods, the routes can become slippery and blocked, increasing the risk of injuries and making the trek more challenging.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to plan your Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Seniors during the months of March to May or September to November for the best experience.

The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek follows the same itinerary but excludes guided tours of Kathmandu and an overnight stay at Machhapuchhre Base Camp.
And 11-day short ABC Trek is suitable for those who have limited time, as it skips the overnight stops in Pokhara and includes one less day of hiking compared to the 14-day ABC trek adventure.

Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, one of our representatives from Nepal Hiking Team will be there to greet you at the specified time. They will then take you to your hotel where you can freshen up and settle in.
Later in the day, you will receive a briefing about the entire trekking plan. If you have some free time, you can explore nearby locations or relax and overcome any jet lag to ensure a smooth journey ahead.
Pokhara, known as the city of magnificence, is a true gem and one of Nepal's top tourist destinations. During the 6-7-hour drive to Pokhara, you will enjoy beautiful landscapes, farmland, and occasional views of water bodies on either side of your vehicle.
Upon reaching Pokhara in the evening, you will be mesmerized by the view of mountains such as Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and the Annapurna range reflected in the peaceful waters of Phewa Lake. If you have some free time, you can explore the lakeside area, which offers a variety of restaurants with live music performances and light snacks.
From Pokhara, we will drive to Birethanti by private vehicle, taking the route through Nayapul and Lumle villages. Birethanti serves as the starting point for our trek.
The journey from Tikhedhnga to Ulleri is relatively short but physically demanding, as it involves ascending the challenging stone staircase called the "Ulleri Steps," consisting of approximately 3,200 to 3,500 steps.
Throughout the trek, we will traverse terraced fields, forests, and quaint villages, all while being treated to awe-inspiring vistas of valleys and majestic mountains.
The trek from Ulleri to Ghorepani offers a truly delightful experience as you meander through a series of picturesque villages. By hiking through enchanting settlements like Banthanti and Nangethanti, you gain valuable insights into the local culture and lifestyle of the Nepalese people residing in the mountains. Engaging with the friendly villagers, witnessing their traditional dwellings, and being embraced by their warm hospitality enhance this immersive journey.
Ghorepani village, in particular, stands out as a popular destination along the trek, renowned for its charming teahouses and vibrant atmosphere. Moreover, from Ghorepani, you are rewarded with awe-inspiring vistas of the majestic Himalayan mountain range. The breathtaking views encompass renowned peaks such as Annapurna South, Himchuli, Nilgiri, and Dhaulagiri, among others, further enhancing the grandeur of the experience.
To view the sunrise, we will get up early this morning to hike to Poon Hill (3210m/10532ft) to reach there before the yellow luminous views of Annapurna and the Dhaulagiri Ranges get missed out.
The panoramic view of the snow-capped mountain peaks like Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Tukuche Peak (6920m), Nilgiri (6940m), Varaha Shikhar (7847 m), Mt. Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Annapurna III (7855m), Machhapuchhare (6993 m), Annapurna IV (7525 m), Annapurna II (7937 m) and Lamjung Himal (6931 m) will energize you to scale up even more.
After enjoying and taking some pictures with stunning backgrounds; we will again come back to Ghorepani to treat our belly to a hot breakfast. Embr coming all the beauties you will see around, we will continue to walk uphill and finally conclude our day in Tadapani.
On the seventh day of your trip, your day is going to rest at Chhomrong village, a village that is mostly inhabited by Gurung ethnicity and is also the entrance to the Annapurna Sanctuary, known as the home to diverse types of exotic flora and fauna. Various species of birds will entertain you with their tweeting music throughout the way.
The generous welcome performed by the Gurung people there will elevate your heart with bliss. Moreover, the blossoming Rhododendron and dense oak forests, riotous woodland will accompany you on your journey.
As we farewell Chhomrong village, we will now march in the trail downhill and step about 2500 stone steps, and cross the suspension bridge that swings over the Chomrong River. We will then have to climb up on a rocky path where we will pass through beautiful Sinuwa village, at 2350m from where we can notice the Annapurna Himalayas joyfully gleaming at us.
Then, we pass through a beautiful forest to Kuldahar at 2380m, which will take us to The Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) Checkpoint. Afterward, the trail is a constant easy slide down to Dovan, from where we will have a sound sleep after dinner.
Through thickets of bamboo at Dovan, we will board a damp trail closest to the emerald forest. The sugary sound of bamboo leaves munching in the wind provides tranquility to the soul, and the zenith of blooming Rhododendrons hails our journey to Deurali.
We will pass the Himalayan Hotel and trek on to Hinko (3170m), a trail lined with petrified trees and burnt sienna flowers. Deurali lies above the ridges of Hinko. Once we reach Deurali, we will sneak into our guesthouse, take a good rest, and spend our night there.
Our adventure today starts with a gentle climb along a river, setting a peaceful tone for the day. But don’t get too comfortable—the trail soon takes a steep turn up the mountainside, making the trek exciting as we push closer to our destination.
As we reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a mountain paradise. Here, the views are nothing short of spectacular. The majestic Machhapuchhre, often called Fishtail Mountain for its unique shape, stands proudly alongside giants like Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and more. The sparse vegetation on the trail allows these mighty peaks to truly steal the show.
Today’s the big day! After a steady two-hour hike, we’ll finally reach Annapurna Base Camp. It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for, and the stunning Mount Annapurna will make it all worth it.
At 4130 meters, you’ll be standing right at the foot of this incredible mountain, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Annapurna range. The view is simply amazing, especially when the sun rises and lights up the mountain’s steep face.
This is your moment to take it all in, enjoy the beauty around you, and feel proud of how far you’ve come.
After enjoying the amazing views at Annapurna Base Camp, we start our walk back down to Dovan. This part of the journey gives us a new view of the mountains as they slowly get smaller in the distance.
We’ll follow the same path we came up, walking through familiar rocky trails, green forests, and along streams.
Today, we continue our journey from Dovan to Chhomrong. The trek is about 10 kilometers long and will take us around 5 to 6 hours.
As we walk, we’ll pass through beautiful forests and cross rivers on our way back. The path has some uphill and downhill sections, but the stunning views and peaceful surroundings make it enjoyable.
When we arrive at Chhomrong, you’ll be greeted by the familiar, warm hospitality of the local Gurung people.
Today is the last day of trekking for your senior ABC trek adventure. We will start our day by descending down the hill from Chhomrong to Jhinu Danda.
After a 2-3 hour hike, we will reach the Jhinu Danda Suspension Bridge, one of the highest and longest suspension bridges in the Annapurna region. Just 5 minutes ahead, we will take a jeep that will drive us back to Pokhara, where you can relax and enjoy the comforts of the city after completing your incredible trek.
As we head back to Kathmandu today, you can reflect on the incredible memories made during your 15-day trek. The journey back offers a chance to revisit the beautiful landscapes and perhaps catch some sights you missed on the way to Pokhara.
If time allows, we can take small breaks along the way to enjoy the fresh mountain air and capture a few final photos to remember your adventure. It’s a relaxing way to close out your journey, savoring the last moments of your time in the stunning Annapurna region.
If you're tired of the long bus journey from Pokhara to Kathmandu, you have the option to fly instead. The flight costs USD 90.00 per person for a one-way ticket.
This provides a quicker and more comfortable alternative, though it comes with an additional fee.
The final day marks the end of your journey with us. Farewell is certainly not at all a good feeling, but with a weighty heart and with the hope to see you again, one of our representatives from the Nepal Hiking Team will drop you off at the airport three hours prior to your departure time.
Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
We discovered for ourselves why Nepal Hiking Team was the best tour operator in Nepal. Being a group of 6 non-regular hikers with differing fitness levels, and with very restrictive company leave policies, we wrote to NHT (Mr Ganga) to ask if it was possible to climb to Annapurna Base Camp in 9 days. Mr Ganga not only patiently answered our queries (through more than 30 emails!), but he also managed to craft the perfect itinerary for us, including calibrated route lengths each day, and ample R&R time in Kathmandu and Pokhara pre- and post-trek. We greatly appreciated his patience and dedication in making our trek work within our time constraints.
NHT's two guides, Deepak and Bishal, were the best local guides we could ever ask for. They were professional in guiding us through the trek, taking close care of us despite our differing paces, and attending to our every need such as getting food and water promptly. They skillfully adjusted our itinerary on the fly based on our projected paces by calling ahead to guesthouses to plan our accommodations. Most importantly, they were like our great friends chatting to us, keeping our morale high, and accompanying us for great food during our R&Rs Halfway through, when 4/6 of our team developed knee pain from the brutal route, they immediately sourced horses and helped them down the path safe and sound.
I cannot recommend NHT, Mr Ganga, and Mr Deepak / Bishal enough! If we get a chance to return to Nepal, I won't hesitate at all to reach out to them again.

In April 2025, I completed the Annapurna with a friend. It was an incredible experience for the stunning landscapes we traveled through, but also thanks to our guide Dilman and porter Ratna, who made the journey even more special. They took exceptional care of us, always listened carefully to our concerns, and gave us confidence and reassurance, especially when we faced snowfall on the way to Thorong La Pass. The trip was a success because of them.
I'd also like to acknowledge Balaram, the manager. Excellent professionals like these are what make this company truly outstanding. I'm very grateful and I love Nepal!

Not long ago, I accomplished a trek to Annappurna Base Camp with one of the fantastic guides, Surya Rokaya. Even though the trek to ABC was challenging, the guide and company took fabulous care of us throughout the entire time.
Our guide never walked too far ahead when we were going slow—something we really appreciated, especially after seeing other guides leave their groups behind. The whole trip was smooth from start to finish.
This was my second trek with Nepal Hiking Team, and I’d happily go with them again. I’d recommend them to anyone thinking about trekking in Nepal!
Guided by Surya Rokaya
We recently completed an 11-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Nepali Hiking Team, and it was an incredible experience. I highly recommend this group for any of their tours.
We arranged our own accommodation in Kathmandu, and the team from Nepali Hiking Team met us at our hotel. From there, they took care of everything. Our guide, Prakash Sapkota, and our porter, Mr. Gokul, were experts in every aspect of the trek. They briefed us on the next day's itinerary each evening, making mornings a breeze. They were particularly attentive when my friend caught a cold midway through. Prakash knew exactly where to find the necessary medicine, allowing us to continue with minimal disruption.
The evenings were a highlight, learning and playing Nepali card games like Kitti and Dhumbal. I suggest picking up the rules to these games and bringing a deck of cards—it really helps the time fly by.
I’m certain we wouldn’t have made it without Prakash and Gokul. If you’re considering a trek to ABC, I can’t recommend Nepali Hiking Team and their attentive staff enough.
I am still so in awe of the wonderful experience I had in Nepal! Thanks to Nepal Hiking Team, I could solely focus on the trekking (which was really necessary...) and the astounding nature and clear my head like I hoped I could. The itinerary could be customized for me and during the whole experience, I felt very taken care of.
I am very thankful for my guide Bhisma who has been the most reliable, fun and interesting companion who clearly loves what he does. He helped me out when my knee started acting up and always looked out for me in general. If you're lucky, you'll have the pleasure of hearing his fantastic singing voice! Rupesh, my porter, has been very friendly and a great support as well.
If you are a solo traveler looking to join other trekkers for the trek, we arrange several small group-joining treks with guaranteed departure dates. Hence, there’s no need to worry about your plans being disturbed just because you are alone. You can join strangers from all around the world in our group-joining trek and embark on your adventure.
Note: Please be assured that all our departure dates are guaranteed to depart.
Or you can choose a private trip for you too. In a private trip, you can customize the itinerary, extend days, and add more trips according to your preference.
Note:
In the tea house along the trek, you can choose any food from the given menu. Most of the food will be Continental, Tibetan, Sherpa, and Nepalese cuisines.
We can certainly arrange a vegetarian or other special diets on request.
Notes:
You can certainly charge your electronic devices during the trek. But please remember that the power supply is limited and dependent on weather conditions. Moreover, there is a fee of approximately USD 2-3 or equivalent in Rupees per hour for charging your devices.
In Nepal, we use three plug types — C, D, and M. The two round pins (type C) and three round pins in a triangle form (type D) are standard in the country. The country mainly operates on a 50 Hz and 230 V supply voltage. Hence, bringing along a universal travel adapter for charging is safer.
The most well-known seasons for the trek are spring and autumn season. In Nepal, spring begins in February and goes on until May. This season offers moderate temperatures, lots of sunshine, and the bright blossoms of wildflowers and rhododendrons. Trekkers who need to see the Himalayas at their best should do trek during this time of the year and it is also one of the best times for mountain expeditions in Nepal.
Likewise, those who want to see splendid mountain views should also consider traveling during the autumn season which falls from September and November. This is top trekking season, with low precipitation, clear blue skies, and a clear view of the skyline. Obviously, you can also trek in different seasons.
Nepal's late spring is characterized by the monsoon season, which brings substantial downpours, quick streaming waterways, and lavish greenery. This is an extraordinary season if you prefer not to be on the trail full of trekkers. Winter is likewise a decent choice; despite the fact that the temperatures can be cool, you'll appreciate unimaginable perspectives on the mountains and slopes covered by snow.
Regardless of which season you pick; you will get a life-changing experience on the trek.
A typical day of trekking would commence with a delicious breakfast being served to you at 7:00 am. After fueling up for the day ahead, we would set off on our hike at 8:00 am. We would trek for around 3-4 hours before making a pit stop at a teahouse for lunch. Once we've refueled, we would continue our trek.
As we reach near our destination for the day, which is usually a guesthouse, we would arrive at around 3-4 pm. Here, you would have the opportunity to freshen up and change out of your hiking clothes. You could head to the dining hall for some tea and relax with your fellow team members, playing card games or engaging in any other activity that interests you.
In the evening, at around 7 pm, we would sit down to a hearty dinner. Following dinner, our guide would brief us on the plan for the next day's hike. Then, you could retire to your rooms for the night, ready to tackle the next day's adventure.
Tipping is customary in Nepal's tourism industry, particularly for the guides, porters, and drivers who provide their services during the trek. It's a way of showing gratitude for their hard work. At the end of your trek, you can offer a tip of your choice based on your satisfaction and budget. Any amount is accepted, you can tip in US dollars or Rupees at your convenience.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek for Seniors is a specially designed route that offers an easy-to-moderate level of difficulty, catering specifically to seniors and kids. This trek has a shorter duration, allowing more time to be spent in Kathmandu before embarking on the hike. Furthermore, meticulous attention is given to crafting a trek itinerary that allows for adequate acclimatization.
During this trek, particular consideration is given to the well-being of elderly individuals and children. The Annapurna Base Camp itself is a truly magnificent destination, offering opportunities to immerse oneself in the rich traditions of the Gurungs and Magars, explore remote villages, and revel in the accomplishment of reaching the Annapurna Base Camp.
This trek is suitable for hikers of all levels, whether they are beginners or experienced professionals, provided they possess a good level of physical fitness. The highest point reached during the trek is 4230 meters at Annapurna Base Camp. Hiking at this altitude reduces the likelihood of experiencing altitude sickness. Moreover, the ABC trip is designed to allow for sufficient time to acclimate to the higher altitude.
Yes, swimming suits are mandatory for the Jhinu Danda Hot Spring. You can carry your swimsuits and change near the hot spring inside the changing rooms.
On the route to the Annapurna Base Camp, there are mostly teahouses that serve lodging and food facilities. The rooms will have clean bed sheets, blankets, pillows, and mattresses.
Until Chhomrong Village, we provide 1 twin bedroom for 2 trekkers. However, after crossing Chhomrong Village, we'll be providing a room with 3-4 beds that need to be shared by 3-4 people. Since the area is protected by the Annapurna Conservation Area, there are only limited teahouses. Hence, you need to share the rooms with your fellow trekkers.
