Welcome to Kathmandu (1,360 meters), the vibrant capital of Nepal. Upon arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, you'll be transferred to your hotel. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore the bustling streets of Thamel or relax at your hotel, preparing for your adventure ahead.

Embark on a guided sightseeing tour of Kathmandu's cultural and historical highlights. Visit UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Pashupatinath Temple, and Boudhanath Stupa. Learn about Nepal's rich cultural heritage and enjoy local cuisine at a traditional Nepali restaurant.

Take a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara (820 meters), Nepal's picturesque lake city nestled in the lap of the Himalayas. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel. Spend the afternoon exploring Lakeside Pokhara, relaxing by Phewa Lake, or visiting local markets.

Drive from Pokhara to Nayapul and continue with an off-road drive to Ghandruk (1,577 meters). Ghandruk is a traditional Gurung village with stunning views of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, and Hiunchuli. Begin your trek amidst terraced fields and rhododendron forests, arriving in Ghandruk by afternoon.

Today's trek leads from Ghandruk (1,940 meters) to Chhomrong (2,170 meters). The trail winds through rhododendron forests and terraced farmlands, with views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) and Annapurna South. Expect a hike of about 5-6 hours, passing through beautiful landscapes and small settlements. Chhomrong is the gateway to the Annapurna Sanctuary, offering spectacular views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre.

From Chhomrong (2,170 meters), descend steeply to cross the Chhomrong Khola and then ascend through forests to Sinuwa. Continuing through bamboo and rhododendron forests, reach Bamboo (2,310 meters) after approximately 4-5 hours of trekking. Bamboo is a small settlement surrounded by lush greenery, offering a serene atmosphere.

Today’s trek from Bamboo (2,310 meters) to Deurali (3,230 meters) involves gradually ascending through dense forests and passing several avalanche-prone areas. The hike takes around 4-5 hours, with views of waterfalls and the Modi Khola gorge. Deurali is a quiet stopover nestled in the midst of the Himalayan wilderness.

The trek takes approximately 6-7 hours. Upon reaching Annapurna Base Camp, immerse yourself in the stunning amphitheater of towering peaks. Depart from Deurali (3,230 meters) towards Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 meters) via Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700 meters). The trail ascends gradually through alpine meadows and past the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, offering breathtaking views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and other peaks. 

Descend from Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 meters) back to Bamboo (2,310 meters), retracing your steps through Modi Khola valley. Enjoy the downhill trek amidst lush forests and serene surroundings.

From Bamboo, trek to Jhinu Danda, famous for its natural hot springs. The trail passes through lush forests and small settlements, offering glimpses of rural Nepalese life. After approximately 4-5 hours of hiking, relax in the natural hot springs, enjoying the therapeutic benefits amidst the tranquil surroundings.

Descend from Jhinu Danda and trek back to Kimche, where your vehicle awaits. From Kimche, drive to Pokhara (827 meters) in approximately 2-3 hours. Upon arrival in Pokhara, unwind and enjoy the lakeside ambiance of this picturesque city. Optionally, explore Pokhara's attractions like Davis Falls, Gupteshwor Cave, or enjoy a boat ride on Phewa Lake.

Explore Pokhara further with a sightseeing tour to places like World Peace Pagoda, International Mountain Museum, or enjoy adventure activities like paragliding (optional). In the afternoon, fly back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel.

After breakfast, depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for last-minute shopping or explore more of Kathmandu. Transfer to Tribhuwan International Airport for your departure, concluding your memorable Annapurna Base Camp Luxury Trek.

An Unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Journey with Ram

Ram guided a mixed group of Russians and Americans to Annapurna Base Camp in the spring of 2024, catering to the diverse needs of each member, both culturally and physically. When our Kathmandu - Pokhara flight was suddenly canceled due to smog, he swiftly found a jeep to bring us over so that the trip was not delayed. When some of us wanted to skip Machhapuchhare lodge, Ram recommended it was important to stay there for the night not because of time savings, but because of altitude adjustment considerations - and I realized it was true when I heard the group who skipped it, puke at the base camp as we were quietly admiring the night sky. Ram organized meals, porters, hotels, and everything was done efficient and politely, with the most genuine smile and kind caring attitude. We formed a nice friendship and stayed in touch even after the trip, partly because his English is so good. I definitely recommend Ram and trust him like family.

Best Journey

I spent 8 days with Ram on the Annapurna Base Camp trek, and we’ve remained good friends for 3 years since. He was an exceptional guide who introduced me to the world of mountaineering. His organization, medical and geographical knowledge, and genuine care for his clients are truly top-notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor on this journey.

Amazing Guide Ram

I did a trip to Annapurna Base Camp a few years back with Ram, and he was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and always made sure we got the best rooms on the way. Ram even carried my friend's backpack (Ram offered himself!) when he was struggling. He is a great person all along, and I will happily do another trek with him!

Great guide, Great company

Great guide, great company! Friendly, knowledgeable, safe, supportive, professional. Did a solo trek with Ram in March to Mardi Himal Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp. Total 10 days. Originally only planned to do Mardi Himal, but decided after the 4 days that I wanted to continue. Thank you so much for the help and flexibility, Ram. Ram is everything you want in a guide. Highly recommended. Best wishes from Norway

Dream Come True

I met Ram in 2025 when we were supposed to go to Everest Base Camp. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side, and our flight was cancelled for two consecutive days. At this moment, we have decided to go to Annapurna Base Camp. At the airport, in a hurry, Ram managed everything. From a new route to booking new flights and finding a porter in Pokhara. Ram is a great guide, really attentive and knowledgeable. He has made my trip to Nepal a dream come true. I already plan to go back for a trek, and obviously I will take their service!

Budget Friendly and Comforting

I did my ABC summit with Ram. He was amazing as guide. From day 1 to the last he served very sincerely without any harm. He has enough knowledge about the route and destination. His package was very budget friendly and comforting. Me and my husband were very much pleased about his service. We are looking forward to another trekking trip with him.

Exceptional Experience!

I completed the trek from Kathmandu to Annapurna Base Camp with Ram, and it was simply an exceptional experience! Here is my feedback: · Transfers, lodge accommodations, and bag management—everything was seamless and well-organized. · Proper equipment, careful acclimatization monitoring, and a well-planned itinerary to minimize the risks of altitude sickness. · Ram adapted to my pace and interests, adding authentic touches like a visit to a Gurung village. · Great Value for Money: All-inclusive at a reasonable price for such an incredible experience. Every day offered breathtaking scenery: terraced rice fields, forests, glacial valleys, and of course, stunning views of Annapurna. 💡 Tips: · Allow 12–14 days in total to enjoy the trek without rushing. · Recommended physical preparation (significant elevation changes). · Pack light but include warm layers (nights at altitude are chilly). ✨ Verdict: If you're looking for a well-organized, safe, and culturally immersive trek to Annapurna, I highly recommend Ram. P.S.: The dal bhat in the lodges is delicious, and the Nepalese people are incredibly kind. Be prepared to fall in love with this country! 🇳🇵🙏

Journey Unforgettable and Safe

I recently completed the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek for the first time with a friend. As beginners who were unfamiliar with trekking, we faced several challenges, such as renting equipment and managing daily logistics. However, our guide, RAM, went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. He was incredibly helpful with the entire process of renting and returning our gear, taking a huge burden off our shoulders. Throughout the 8-day journey, Ram was much more than just a guide; he was a supportive companion. He patiently waited for us whenever we wanted to take photos and even captured many great shots of us himself. One of the things I appreciated most was his pacing. He carefully monitored our physical condition and maintained an appropriate speed to help us avoid altitude sickness while ensuring we reached each destination safely. His hospitality was outstanding—he provided us with delicious meals and comfortable accommodations, and he even surprised us with apples and snacks during our hikes. He was always attentive, constantly checking if we needed anything else before and after our meals. Even when there were communication barriers, Ram was patient enough to explain things multiple times until we fully understood. I am extremely satisfied with his professional yet kind service. If you are planning to trek for the first time, I highly recommend RAM. He will make your journey unforgettable and safe.

Guide et ami !

Ram est un guide soucieux des détails et de votre bien être. Guide avec expérience et ça paraît. Ram est attentionné et au devant. Nous avons fait le camp de base de l’Annapurna ensemble en septembre 2025. Malgré la météo très pluvieuse, Ram a su trouver une façon de rendre mon expérience mémorable. Je planifie d’ailleurs une prochaine visite au Népal en compagnie de Ram en Avril 2027 !

Guide Ram is a Himalayan GEM!

We went to Annapurna base camp with Ram in a small group of friends. What a wonderful trip it was, and how happy we were that Ram was our guide!! First of all - he was so positive and friendly all the time - nicest person on Earth! Secondly and most importantly - he took care of all the group’s security and health - had necessary medication and made sure the slowest hikers are not left behind ) He also helped us with bags and rain coats and provided all the necessary stuff we needed during the trip. Besides, he told us many great stories about Nepal and his work as guide in mountains. After Annapurna - Ram was really the next highlight of our trip! Thanks a lot Ram and we definitely recommend you as a guide!
