Trekking to the Basic Camp of Annapurna (ABC) enters the top three of the most beautiful trekking routes of Nepal. I want to tell about him in this publication.
Last year, when I went to the track around Annapurn, I talked with one man. He said that his son went both of these routes, and ABC, and circular, and very cool responded precisely about ABC. It was then that the desire to go to the Basic Camp Annapurna to the next visit of Nepal.
The cost of each document is about $ 20. If you go with the guide - the situation changes somewhat, the cost of documents is lower, but, again, you need to pay for the guide. You need a guide or not - decide for yourself, I do not like to walk with guides. There are no difficulties on the route, everything is clear and clear.
Information about prices and expenses I wrote in the report about Tekking in the Basic Camp of Everest. From equipment necessarily a sleeping bag, good shoes and warm things. Upstairs, the temperature at night falls below zero even in the summer.
You can go this track in different ways, including aligning in a Punchyl track or even with a circular around Annapurn. If, of course, there are strength and time.
We decided to go according to the classics, starting with the nayapole, through Gandruk and on the way back through hot springs in Ginu (Jinudanda on the map below) and finish in Pedi. In the middle of the track takes 7-8 days. Agencies laid 10. It is not clear, right, why. Walking at an average pace can be passed 4 days before ABC and three days ago. You can go much faster and put in 3 there and two backwards. But you need it or not - decide for yourself. Do not forget that the body usually needs acclimatization at such a height.
You can go in the opposite direction, but then the sources are not after the main plot, and before. Here we decide for yourself.
You can get to Naapula / Poedi from Pokhara as a bus bus, about 7:30 from the tourist bus station (in Pokhara two) and the car. The bus is long everywhere stands, drives into different places and rides for a long time. Major is much faster, and no more expensive for money. This time we drove by car for about 15th. for everyone. Of course, the driver rested, asked twice again - but still agreed and went. About the road by car I will keep silent, they drive both crazy, and even get used to it sometimes scary. Especially when the driver on the car overtakes the bus on a narrow road, with a curve of the sideline, on serpentine with steep and deep canyons at high speed))) That another attraction! Back the same took a taxi, approximately 12u.e. I am sure that you could leave for 9-10, but Katya was punished, and we didn't really want to wait and bargain for three dollars. Although the way back is much shorter.
Trekk from the nayapole begins on the road. Not a very interesting plot. Ride cars and buses, raise dust, noise and so on. In principle, you can drive on the jeep if there is a desire. We went on foot.
After a couple of hours, Tracc goes on the path, to go on which it becomes more pleasant. Gradually open beautiful views of rice fields and Nepalese houses.
Annapurna is already visible from Handrice, so you can safely sleep here or stay on the kettle.
The trail from Handrock goes in two ways: the first - going down to the right to the river past Gini, the second - through the left through the pass, towards Hhorepani. Just on the opposite slope on the photo above. We are on him and went, the truth fell into the rain. So little pictures.
From Chacoming offers a beautiful view of snow vertices. There is still reasonable prices in the lodges, and you can catch the Internet. From Chacoming a trail down on the gin, to sources. From Chomonge to ABC and back one road goes.
After the champrag, the trail goes down, to the river, and further smoothly picks up the height of up to ABC. This section of Tracker goes along a very picturesque forest. This forest is found in Nepal at an altitude of up to 3,000m in different places, very fabulously and unique!
We decided to spend the night in Himalaya. The village with a beautiful name turned out to be nothing remarkable. Lodge and food here are already very expensive, and when trying to bargain, the representative of one of the two loggias was offended, and said that there were no numbers, everything was busy. Somehow here is so stupid. In the end, we settled at the neighbors in Dorm, although it was not easy to find the place. There are many people, but not very. I have never met such a thing in Nepal, so be careful with the bidding.
On the way, such cards are often found:
Above Himalayas Forest gradually goes into naked slopes. There are snow languages, waterfalls and streams.
In the deurairs, at an altitude of 3100m, we decided to drink a seagull. Sun and beautiful views opened.
Closer to the MVS the weather spoiled, snowfall began.
Many staying with the night here, and in the morning they go to ABC. We decided to meet dawn upstairs. Having experience last night, I asked to call and book us a room in ABC. So we snapped and moved on, almost in zero visibility.
In Nepal at this time of the year, he often delays the sky after lunch, and at night the sky is pure again. This is because the warm wet masses are suitable for cold slopes and condensed, turning into the clouds. In the fall and in winter there is no such thing, but the snow is much more.
The moon was complete, and I decided to take a photo of the gorge, watch the photo above.
Sleeping at the height is usually bad, especially after short acclimatization. And even by accepting sleeping pills, it still failed to relax normally. From morning an alarm clock, we found themselves among the snow vertices of indescribable beauty, in general, judge themselves. Very nice, but also very cold, so you need to dress well!
For a long time we decided not to linger and start the descent immediately after breakfast. The view of the same signs in the morning looked much brighter as the types around.
View of the top of Macupuchar. From Pokhara, this peak looks different and seems above all others.
In the MVS, we decided to drink a seagull and admire these species before the descent, it is very difficult to tear away from these peaks!
The descent was very fast, in one breath we can say. Below are some photos of the same places in good weather.

(Further ABC track) is also called "Track to the sanctuary of Annapurna". In 1956, Colonel Jimmy Roberts, with his expedition, came to the slopes of Mount Macupuchar, where he saw the tab of his taboo, prohibiting people to pass on. The territory for the mysterious sign he called the sanctuary of Annapurna. Today, the path to the "sanctuary" is one of the most popular and beautiful trekking routes: not long, light enough and goes to the heart of Himalayas through the jungle. The world of nature here is full of exotic colors, bright colors of birds and magic smells.
Our walking journey begins from Lake Fava in Pokhara. In this quiet secluded place, you can infinitely enjoy the reflection of the annipure mountain range. Snow peaks towering over the Break form a mountain bastion from 13 vertices stretching from the east to the west at a distance of 55km. From this magnificence, the top of the mountain is bizarre Machapuchar, your outlines resembling a fish tail. The Nepalese consider Mount the house of God Shiva and the climbing on it is prohibited.
According to statistics, more than 60% of the total number of mountain tourism lovers attending Nepal are sent to the Annapurna region, which attracts travelers with a variety of natural landscapes, as well as the opportunity to join the culture and life of the local population.
What is ABC Track?
Annapurna It is considered one of the most dangerous mountains for climbing. Every third climber who tried to conquer her, and remains to lie on the mountain slopes. However, it was Annapurna that is the first eight-year-old who rose a man. In 1997, the famous Soviet mountaineer Anatoly Breuryv, who a year ago, was killed in the mountain slopes, which year ago, in inhuman conditions, saved three climbers when tragedy on Everest. Breuryv was one of the climbers, conquering mountains without oxygen. But despite professionalism, Annapurna took his life. Now in the base camp Annapurna, a memorial was installed in the victim when climbing the eight-thousand and thousands of flags deal prayers in memory of climbers.
ABS track You can call "sunsets and dawns above the array Annapurna". Fishing of the route will be a meeting of dawn on the famous species platform Mardi Himaland sunset we will see with another review overlooking Annapurnu. We will have a huge set of such species! Plus track ABS and Mardi Himal are low heights - maximum 4100m. At the same time, the maximum height of the night will be 3800m. Any organism will feel great at such heights, and our professional team will help properly acclimatize in the mountains.
Peak Mardi Himal (5,587 m) is located away from the route to the Basic Camp of the Annapunnna, the trail is not so popular and it attracts even more. The maximum height is reviewing the Mardi Himal 4100m platform - the most impressive and close look at the Machapuchar "Himalayan Matterhorn", as well as Fish Tail - Fish Tail).
What awaits us yet? Swimming in hot springs with jungle views and jumping monkeys. Endless stairs into the sky and climbs up, then down. Since the ABC is the most popular route, we decided to move away from the main trail to enjoy solitude with nature.
The route is the author, in the event of a good physical training of participants and with mutual desire, we will make an additional radial output for 2 days in order to watch another species platform. Also, at the request of the participants, the route can be changed.
Track to the Base Camp Annapurna It has an average complexity. This is not a walk through the forest, first of all the track is a hike in the mountains. Of course, we will not need tents and absolutely no need to come with them. Every 2-3 hours there are villages with lodges in which you can stay at night or snack. In the Himalayas, it is customary to stop in the houses of local and eat there, in the lodges there is everything for a modest and comfortable stay: room, shower, food, WiFi (paid, not expensive), sockets (paid, not expensive), sometimes stove.
10 days of tracking we spend in the Himalayas, the rest of our journey we will be on the road, and also dedicate to walks on two capitals Nepal - Pokhara and Kathmandu.

More than just a track to the base camp Annapurna!
From myself I will say that this track is most diverse in terms of climate and landscapes of all I walked in Nepal. You can select several features of this campaign:
- No doubt is the track of sunrises and sunsets) . Four dawn and sunsets We will observe in this track, two of them in the author's portion of the route, where the species points closer to the eighties of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, as well as the Sacred Mount Macupuchara 6998 m (on which Shiv lives by legend). In this part, kinds are better than with the same observation deck of Pun Hill and there are practically no other tourists. What to tell - below in the description of the track, we give photos of these places 🙂
- A variety of landscapes. This is the tropical jungle at the beginning of the route (especially in the author's part) and the village terraces on the Himalayan slopes, and the ridges, and a crazy amphitheater surrounded by Annapurna Southern 7219 m, annapurna eight-chapter 1 8091 m, Gangapuren 7455 m and Machapuchar Do not forget about bathing in hot springs among the Himalayan jungle on the shore of the mountain river
- Himalayan Yaki. If you go to the basic camp on the classic route, then you will not meet these animals, but on our copyright, they will be with a very large degree of probability.
- In the jungle you can find local monkeys - Langurov. We often meet quite often. I would say so - the probability of 50 \\ 50
- A separate item once again I summarize Machaupuchar . It is really very photogenic. In my personal rating of the most beautiful mountains, she fully divides first place with the vertex of Ama Dablam (but it is already with a track to Everest). I even created a separate photo gallery for her, you can see here.
- We have been holding this track for more than two years. And according to the reviews of our participants, the most memorable and impressive places of this route are the author's part, the Basic Camp Annapurna and of course the last day, when you can relax and relax in hot springs.
- By the complexity of the route. On the one hand, the maximum height of 4100 m is a small for Himalayan standards, there has practically did not have serious problems with mountain sickness, it is easily transferred quite easily. BUT! This track has one feature - there are quite steep climbs and descents that can provoke problems with knee joints. Such cases are not often, but there are. Therefore, this track, I would not call this track, it would be very desirable to take the porter to the route and have elastic bandages or knee pads with it just in case. Track passage statistics and for what reasons people could not see here \u003e\u003e\u003e
- Differences track in spring and autumn. Spring is primarily a season of blooming rhododendron and magnolium (photo gallery "Flowering Himalayas"), which undoubtedly makes the route more colorful, but more likely to haze in the air, snow cover is possible in areas above 3500 m (this is + and - at the same time, colder , But with snow, kinds are more severe and, my personal opinion, more beautiful), more likely rains, above - snow (usually closer to dinner). In the fall - the weather is more stable, the air is cleaner, the low probability of bad weather, but there are no such charms as flowering and snow under their feet. Let's just say, I went and in the autumn and in the spring - I never regretted))).
And of course, do not forget that any hike is always a pleasure in an excellent company on one side of such different, and with other people similar to you who are so pulling in the mountains towards the adventures!

An important plus that I suggests within the framework of this tour - for three days we will deviate from the standard route, according to which everything goes, and part of the way by overcoming the very low-simply trails of local shepherds. Within the framework of this deviation, we will walk almost without meeting tourists with amazing views of Annapurna and Macupuzhar array, we will meet dawn at a review point, the types with which are not inferior to the types from the famous Pune Hill, and in my opinion they even exceed them, and where There will be no people, only you and the Himalayas)!
Special spring bonus on this track - blooming rhododendrons and magnolia. Peak falls on March and the first half of April, in May to a much lesser extent.

Day 1. Kathmandu
We meet with an instructor at the airport and go to relax our hotel. An amazing and peculiar capital at first will cause shock from the number of people, cars, bicycles. It seems as if we are immersed in full chaos. It takes a little time to adapt and see the true beauty and identity of this huge city.

Day 2. Moving to the Himalayas and the beginning of the track to the Base Camp Annapurna
We have a long and very extreme redeploymentdeep into Nepal . Roads of this mountainous country are often found by serpentines for complex relief. From the window we will see how Nepal liveb tsa in villages and small cities. I'll see the Pokhara, a close acquaintance with which we still have. Here sit down on custom jeep, which will bring us almost to the priest, from wheretartuine all the main routes in Annapurna Nature Reserve. Here we will begin our track and we. We register TIMS - and permits and go on the road. The first steps are already impressive: stone steps lead to the kingdom of real tropics, the jungle is closed above the heads, flowers flamed and chirping wonderful birds. Forest full of life and paints, and bright rice plantations spread around the villages. Here in such a magnificent entourage come to the Ullery, where they set together in the most picturesque lodge and rest after the long road.
Trekking: 3 km. Height set: 200m.
Day 3. Gorontan and Rhododendron Forest
We continue to gain a height. Our track to the Base Camp Annapurna hosts the world's largest rhododendron forest. Here he is not a shrub, as in the Carpathians or in the Caucasus. Rhododendron reaches the size of real trees. When they bloom, the spectacle becomes truly delightful: as if the clouds of all the shades of pink and lilac dropped on the slopes .... I come to a small town of Gorontan (2860 m). It overlooks DGAULACHIRI (8167 m) and Nylgiri South (6839 m).
We will be in place after lunch. If the strength and desire remains, you can walk on the viewing platform above the village and admire the game of the setting sun on the edges of the eight-thousanders. Tomorrow we will be waiting for the dawn in the same place, but is it too much beauty?!
Trekking: 8 km. Height set: 900 m
Day 4. Dawn on Poon Hill - Tadapani
I wake up at 5 in the morning and, taking the lanterns, starting the night climbing on Poon Hill (Poon Hill). The rise in a height of 3200 meters will take 30-40 minutes. Here, on the top of Poon Hill, we will meet a stunning dawn. He will remember us for life: the ridges of Annapurna and Dagulahiri in the first rays of the Sun, and in the deep mountain valleys still reigns velvet dusk ... We return to the lodge, breakfast and continue the track to the Basic Camp of Annapurna.
A paved trail again leads through dense thickets of tree rhododendrons and cozy Nepalese settlements, drowning in exotic vegetation. We go along the rivers and terraces on the slopes of the mountains, where the Nepalese traditionally grown rice. In the evening, we arrive in the village of Tadapani (2630 m). It opens a beautiful view of Machapuchara Mount (6998 m), in Nepali "Fish Tail". It received such a name because of two vertices, which, if you look from the West, form a figure resembling the tail of the fish. At dawn, the sharp corners of Machaupuchar, Annapurna and Hinchuli flame with a fiery flower under the first rays of the sun. Muscore is a great spectacle! And do not go anywhere - everything can be seen directly from the veranda. We choose the most panoramic loggia and relax after the track :).
Trekking: 10 km. 1000 m. ↓ 1100m.
Day 5. Another dawn over the Himalayas - Chomrong
The excellent start of the day was provided: a cup of coffee, sunrise over the beautiful eight-thousandnesses of the planet ...But the track to the base camp Annapurna continues - now it crosses a deep gorge. The path leading down, very cool. Fortunately, the rise is more flat;). In Chomrong we will be for dinner, we have time to relax and recharge the energy. Tomorrow she will come in handy.
Trekkig: 8 km (half-day). 300m. ↓ 1000m.
Day 6. Dovang.
Alas, it's time to experience myself for strength - there will be the hardest transition throughout the track to the Annapurna basic camp. Go down to the Chomrong Khol River. Down steep steps, there are 2114 pieces! Any gym hide :). But we are in the Himalayas where everything just does not happen. Go through the river across the bridge and recipe the height. On the way I will see entire flocks of wild monkeys, with the other species. Our goal is the Lodge in the village Dovang, dinner and a warm bed.
Type: 10 km. 750m. ↓ 350m.
Day 7. According to the Valley of Modi-Khol to the BMC
Today we go along the river Modi-Khol, taking the source from the Southern Glacier Annapurna. Soon we will go to the Khunka cave - this is a small rock carport, where, according to the legends, there was a holy hermit. For the nights stop in the BMC - the base camp Machapuchar. You need to go fast - everywhere there are plates with a warning about avalanche danger. But the transition is very picturesque and is easy. We are surrounding the steep slopes of the mountains, you have to do the head to see the sky. In the evening, we traditionally walk on one of the Middle Machapuchar's neighbors and admire the Moraine of her glacier.
Trekking: 9 km.1200m.
Day 8. Basic Annapurna Camp (ABC, Annapurna Base Camp, 4130 m)

To enjoy Dawn in the basic Annapurna, come out early. A light frost is felt - warmly instead. We leave things in the lodge, let's go to the Basic Camp of Annapuren Radially and Light. Lifting in ABC smooth, without steep height sets. Our route runs between the peaks of Annapurna and each of them is beautiful. We try to capture the stunning view of the Grozny eight-grain, admiring the glaciers and listen to the distant roar of avalanche and stonepads. We have achieved the ultimate goal of our track!

We observe how nature is filled with life. It becomes joyful and us. The descent is simple, we go to the village of Gina Danda (Gina Dunda, 1780 m). A 20-minute walk from the village in the Valley of the Modi-Khol river there are hot thermal springs. There are two pools. In the lower flow, the water temperature reaches 40 degrees! It will be nice to plunge into these "baths" after the ice highlands and the daytime transition. On this victorious note, the active part of the track to the base camp Annapurna ends.
Day 10. Pokhara, Lake Fava (Pheva)
We descend through the villages, in which neither civilization nor the influence of tourism is completely not felt. In 2018, the Grand Suspended Bridge of Epic Scale was built over the river, which greatly facilitates the transition to the village, where Jepps are waiting for us. I will get to the dinner to Pokhara and post in a good hotel.
Next, we go to the exciting boat trip on the Lake Pheva, from the ship, we enjoy a picturesque view of the Big Himalayan ridge with its eight-thousand vertices of Daulagiri, Annapurna, Manasl. On the hill is the stupa of the world - the Buddhist temple, where we will meet a wonderful sunset over the panorama of the city and the Himalayas.
Day 11. Kathmandu
Moving to the Nepalese capital on custom-made transport will take half a day. Take up at the hotel, rest and still have time to go to one or two temples. In the evening we go to the local market. After all, Kathmandu is a paradise for souvenir lovers. Be careful: if you decide to make an expensive purchase, be sure to compare prices / quality on such things in several places.
Day 12. Inspection of the Valley of Kathmandu
We go to the south in the morning - to Patan (Lalitpur), where a historical excursion is waiting for us. The second largest city in the country forms a conglomerate with the capital. Officially accepted name, Lalitpur means "City of Beauty". And it is difficult to argue with it. In Patan, an unimaginable number of attractions is concentrated. We will visit the Royal Square (Durbar), where the Royal Palace, Pagoda and Temples are located. Next, we will go to the major temple complex of Hinduism - Pashupatinath. From here, it is not far to the Buddhist Stupa Bodnath (Botdanath, Boddeta) and the temple complex of the same name.
Day 13. The capital of Nepal, departure home
Today, the track to the base camp Annapurna ends. Do not lose the time before departure and go to learn the sights of the capital. Visit Polymbunath, or Monkey Temple - Buddhist Temple Center with one of the oldest stations in the world. Skyambunath lies on the outskirts, besides on the hill, and from here, unforgettable views of the Himalayas and the Valley of Kathmandu are opening. The last time I look at the mountains that have recently conquered. In the center of the city in the Kumari Palace, Ghar can see the living Hindu deity - Kumari (Kumari Devi).
The journey to Nepal approached the end and the aircraft are waiting for us. It will be a bit sad, but bright memories, strong impressions and beautiful photos will be a worthy consolation away from these wondrous mountains. Or maybe we will meet in the Himalayan trails? :)
