What Is the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days from Pokhara?

The short Annapurna Base Camp trek 7 days from Pokhara is a 6-night itinerary that climbs from Jhinu through Chhomrong, Dovan and Deurali to the 4,130 m base camp on Day 4, then descends via Bamboo to the Jhinu hot spring before returning to Pokhara on Day 7.

The word "short" does a lot of work in Annapurna marketing, and it is worth being precise about what it means here. This is short because it starts and ends in Pokhara rather than Kathmandu, which removes two full travel days from the usual 10 to 13 day structure. It is not short because we cut acclimatization stops or merged trail sections to save time. That distinction is the entire difference between a short itinerary that works and one that leaves you with a headache at Deurali.

The route follows the Modi Khola valley into the Annapurna Sanctuary, a natural amphitheatre ringed by Annapurna I at 8,091 m, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna and the sacred, unclimbed Machhapuchhre. You sleep one night inside that amphitheatre at base camp, which is the part of this trekking route that no shorter alternative can replicate.

What Is the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days Cost?

The short Annapurna Base Camp trek 7 days cost is USD 687 for one person, 567 per person for 2 to 3, 537 for 4 to 6, 517 for 7 to 11, and 497 for 12 to 20 people, with permits, guide, porter, all trek meals, teahouse stay and Pokhara hotel transfers included in every tier.

Group size drives the price because the guide, porter and vehicle cost is shared. Nothing is removed from the smaller-group package to justify the higher rate.

Group Size Cost per Person (USD)
1 person (private) $687
2 to 3 people $567
4 to 6 people $537
7 to 11 people $517
12 to 20 people $497

These are our 2026 and 2027 rates for this ABC trek Nepal package. We confirm your exact quote within 24 hours of enquiry, and we do not add costs after you commit.

Which Annapurna Base Camp Trek Length Should You Choose: 5, 7 or 13 Days?

Choose 7 days if you have about a week and want proper acclimatization plus the Jhinu hot spring. Choose 5 days if you are fit and time-pressed and want the lowest cost. Choose 13 days if you want a relaxed pace, extra village time and Poon Hill included.

This is the question we answer most often on WhatsApp, so here it is laid out plainly rather than buried in sales copy.

If you take one thing from that table, take this: the jump from 5 to 7 days costs you roughly USD 68 more at the group rate and buys you an extra acclimatization day plus shorter walking days. For a first-time high-altitude trekker, that is the best value decision on this entire page.

Why Choose This Short ABC Trek Package Including Jhinu Hot Spring?

Starting at Jhinu removes a full day of low-altitude walking without skipping scenery, and returning through Jhinu on Day 6 puts a natural hot spring at the end of your hardest descent rather than as an optional add-on.

The stretch below Jhinu, walking in from Nayapul, is mostly road-adjacent warm-up trail. Driving that section is not a compromise, it is simply efficient, and it is why this short package can offer a properly paced ascent inside 7 days.

From Jhinu the trail climbs to Chhomrong, a working Gurung village terraced into the hillside with what many trekkers rate as the best Annapurna South view on the route. Chhomrong is also where the trek gets serious: the stone staircase descending out of the village and climbing again toward Sinuwa is the single most talked-about section of the whole trail, and everyone remembers it on the way back down.

The Jhinu hot spring sits a short walk below the village beside the Modi Khola, three stone pools fed by natural hot water. After six days of teahouse washing at altitude, it lands very differently than it reads on a website. It also does something practical: it loosens quadriceps and knees that have absorbed roughly 2,300 m of descent over the previous 36 hours, which matters more than most itineraries admit.

This itinerary suits first-time high-altitude trekkers with basic fitness, working professionals with roughly a week free, couples, solo trekkers joining a group, and small friend groups who want a properly paced trek rather than a rushed one.

The typical trekker on this route is between 18 and 55, generally active but not an athlete, and has either done day hikes or one previous multi-day trek. It also works well for people who considered the 5-day option, read the walking hours, and sensibly decided they would rather have the extra day.

Solo travellers join group departures regularly, which is worth knowing if the USD 687 private rate is beyond your budget: joining an existing group brings you into the 567 or 537 tier for the same itinerary.

Itinerary
Trip PlanExpand all

Highlights: Private vehicle through the Annapurna foothills · ACAP permit check at Birethanti · Suspension bridge over the Modi Khola · Stone staircase through rhododendron forest · First views of Machhapuchhre from Chhomrong

Your guide meets you at your Pokhara hotel around 7:00-7:30am, and a private vehicle takes you west through the foothills, stopping briefly at Birethanti so your guide can register your permits at the Annapurna Conservation Area checkpoint. The road continues on toward Jhinu Danda (1,780m / 5,840ft), or the nearest driveable point if conditions have shifted. This stretch has been extended steadily in recent years, so your exact drop-off point can vary slightly by season and road work.

From the road head, the trail crosses a long suspension bridge over the Modi Khola and climbs a stone staircase through rhododendron and bamboo forest to Chhomrong, the largest Gurung village on the route and your first real look at Machhapuchhre's fishtail summit. This is where you stop for the night. We keep Day 1 deliberately short: your body has just moved up from Pokhara (900m / 2,953ft), and there is no benefit in adding hours on top of that.

Good to know: Use the spare afternoon for a gear check with your guide. Chhomrong is the last village with proper shops on this route, so anything missing can still be dealt with here rather than further up.

Note: This 7-day itinerary is built for gradual acclimatization, with an extra night below 3,300m before base camp. If you are short on time and confident at altitude, ask us about our 5-day Annapurna Base Camp itinerary, which follows the same route at a faster pace.

Max Altitude: 2,170m / 7,119ftMeals: Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, ChhomrongMode of Transportation: Private Jeep/Van

Highlights: The Chhomrong stone staircase · Suspension bridge over the Chhomrong Khola · Climb to Upper Sinuwa · Bamboo village and forest · Narrowing Modi Khola gorge

The day opens with the Chhomrong staircase, a long stone descent of well over two thousand steps to the suspension bridge across the Chhomrong Khola, followed immediately by a stiff climb to Upper Sinuwa (2,360m / 7,743ft). It is the most physically honest section of the trek and it comes early, which is useful. You will know exactly what your legs are working with for the rest of the week.

Beyond Sinuwa the trail enters the sanctuary zone proper, where local custom keeps meat out of the teahouse kitchens from here up. The path runs through dense bamboo and rhododendron forest, where langur monkeys are a regular sighting, dropping to Bamboo village (2,310m / 7,579ft) before a steady climb along the river to Dovan. The valley narrows noticeably here and the sky shrinks to a strip between the ridgelines.

Good to know: A slow, steady pace with trekking poles on the staircase will protect your knees more than trying to power through it. You will meet these same steps again on Day 6, so make friends with them now.

Max Altitude: 2,600m / 8,530ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, DovanMode of Transportation: On Foot

Highlights: Himalaya village · Hinku Cave · Waterfalls across the gorge · Tree line thinning near Deurali · First routine oxygen saturation check

A shorter day by design, because you are crossing 3,000m and that is where altitude starts asking questions. There is no prize for reaching Deurali by lunchtime and then feeling terrible at dinner, so your guide keeps the pace measured and the water breaks frequent.

The forest thins past Himalaya village (2,920m / 9,580ft) and gives way to scrub and open rock, with the huge overhang of Hinku Cave and waterfalls threading down the far wall of the gorge. Deurali sits at the mouth of the sanctuary proper, and its teahouses are a step up in comfort from Bamboo and Sinuwa, generally with electricity and hot showers available. This is the first night where your guide checks oxygen saturation before dinner as routine practice, not because we expect a problem, but because numbers caught early are easier to act on than symptoms caught late.

Good to know: Keep your water intake up through the day. This altitude is where mild symptoms tend to show up first, and the free afternoon at Deurali is not dead time. Resting at 3,230m is exactly the acclimatization work a faster itinerary has to skip.

Max Altitude: 3,230m / 10,597ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, DeuraliMode of Transportation: On Foot

Highlights: Morning crossing of the gorge section · Machhapuchhre Base Camp · Crossing the tree line into alpine terrain · Overnight beneath Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli and Gangapurna

The trail climbs through an avalanche-prone gorge section, which we time for morning when conditions are most stable, then opens out at Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m / 12,139ft). Machhapuchhre itself, sacred to local Gurung communities, has never been climbed and stays off-limits to climbers, though you will be walking directly beneath it for the rest of the day.

From MBC the last two hours to Annapurna Base Camp are gentler than the elevation suggests, and the sanctuary reveals itself gradually rather than all at once. Arriving with daylight still on the peaks, you get the full amphitheater in one sweep: Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna rising directly around camp. You sleep at 4,130m, ringed by peaks on every side. Reaching this point on Day 4 rather than Day 3, as our 5-day itinerary does, is the core safety advantage of this short Annapurna Base Camp trek: your sleeping altitude has risen in steps your body can actually keep up with.

Good to know: Afternoons here tend to cloud over, so an early start from Deurali gives you the best chance of a clear approach. Pack a warm layer for the evening, since temperatures at ABC drop fast after sunset even in good weather.

Note: In poor weather or during the busiest weeks of the season, your guide may adjust the overnight to Machhapuchhre Base Camp instead, with a day hike up to Annapurna Base Camp. Safety and teahouse availability take priority over the fixed plan.

Max Altitude: 4,130m / 13,549ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, Annapurna Base CampMode of Transportation: On Foot

Highlights: Sunrise over the Annapurna Sanctuary · Long descent via Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Deurali · Return through Himalaya and Dovan · The longest walking day of the trek

First light on Annapurna I is the reason people come, and it arrives early, so your guide will wake you before it. The peaks turn amber long before the sun reaches the basin floor, one of the best mountain views in Nepal, and the temperature at that hour will make you glad of every layer you carried. Photograph it, then head back inside for breakfast.

From ABC, the trail retraces the route down through Machhapuchhre Base Camp, Deurali, Himalaya and Dovan, all the way to Bamboo. This is the longest day of the trek, and with close to 1,800m of elevation loss it is hard on knees rather than lungs. The consolation is that every hour of descent puts usefully thicker air back in your chest, so the effort gets easier as the day goes on.

Good to know: Trekking poles matter more today than any other day; sustained descent is harder on the knees than the climb up. Pack a rain layer too, as afternoon weather in the forest below Deurali can turn quickly.

Max Altitude: 2,310m / 7,579ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, BambooMode of Transportation: On Foot

Highlights: Final climb over the Chhomrong staircase · Descent to Jhinu Danda · Natural hot spring on the bank of the Modi Khola · Relaxed final evening in the hills

The last full trekking day climbs briefly to Sinuwa, drops to cross the Chhomrong Khola, then takes the Chhomrong staircase one final time. Uphill in this direction, it is best treated as a slow, steady toll rather than a race. From Chhomrong, familiar landmarks look different heading the other way, and the trail descends steadily to Jhinu Danda.

The natural hot spring sits a ten-minute walk below the guesthouses, a set of stone pools beside the Modi Khola. Because this itinerary keeps the night at Jhinu rather than driving out the same day, most groups arrive early afternoon with plenty of time to use the spring properly rather than rushing it. After five days of stone steps, your legs will not need convincing, and dinner back at the lodge tends to be the loud one of the trip.

Good to know: Bring a swimsuit and a light towel for the hot spring; it is a small, informal spot with a modest entry fee, and exactly the reward you will want after the final staircase.

Max Altitude: 2,360m / 7,743ft (Upper Sinuwa, early in the day) Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Accommodation: Teahouse, Jhinu Danda Mode of Transportation: On Foot

Max Altitude: 1,780m / 5,840ftMeals: Breakfast, Lunch, DinnerAccommodation: Teahouse, Jhinu DandaMode of Transportation: On Foot

Highlights: Breakfast in the hills · Private vehicle back to Lakeside · Certificate of completion from Thrill Himalaya Treks · Free afternoon in Pokhara

Breakfast at Jhinu, then your private vehicle collects you for the drive back down the Modi Khola valley, usually reaching your hotel in Lakeside around midday and closing out the 7 days Annapurna Base Camp trek from Pokhara where it began.

Back at your hotel, your guide presents you with a signed Thrill Himalaya Treks Certificate of Completion for the Annapurna Base Camp trek, a keepsake worth framing alongside your photos. From there, the rest of the day is yours: a good chance to clean up, rest, and start turning the last seven days into stories.

Good to know: As with Day 1, your exact vehicle pickup point may shift slightly (Jhinu Danda vs. a nearby point) depending on current road conditions. The midday arrival works for an evening flight to Kathmandu, though if you can spare a night in Pokhara, your knees will vote for the lakeside café.

Essential Information

How Difficult Is the 7 Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

This 7 day ABC trek is rated moderate. Walking days run 3 to 7 hours, the hardest section is the Chhomrong stone staircase rather than the altitude, and elevation gain is spread across four climbing days to reduce altitude sickness risk.

There are three separate demands on this trek and they are worth separating, because most pages blur them together.

Sustained walking. Five to six hours a day, most days, on uneven stone and forest trail. This is the demand that basic fitness preparation actually addresses.

Steep stone steps. The Chhomrong and Sinuwa staircases are the trail's real signature. They are not technical or exposed, but they are relentless, and you meet them twice. Trekking poles help significantly.

Altitude. Sleeping at 4,130 m is a genuine physiological demand regardless of fitness. Being fit does not protect you from altitude sickness, which is why itinerary pacing matters more than gym hours.

Four to six weeks of preparation before you arrive makes the biggest difference: regular walking with some elevation, stair climbing, and cardio work two or three times a week. If you can walk uphill for three hours without needing a full day to recover, you are ready for this itinerary.

Is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek Safe, and How Do You Manage Altitude?

Yes, for reasonably fit trekkers on a properly paced itinerary. Thrill Himalaya Treks guides carry a pulse oximeter, check every trekker each evening above 3,000 m, and are authorized to slow the itinerary or descend without waiting for office approval.

Safety on this route is designed into the itinerary before any guide sets foot on the trail. Reaching 4,130 m on Day 4 with a night at 2,600 m and a night at 3,230 m first is a deliberate acclimatization ladder. Compressing that into three days, as faster packages do, works for most people but leaves less margin when someone reacts badly.

On the ground, our guides check oxygen saturation and general condition every evening once you are past 3,000 m. They watch for the early signals, which are usually headache, unusual fatigue, poor appetite or disturbed sleep rather than anything dramatic. If those appear, the response is rest, slow down, or descend. No guide of ours needs to phone Kathmandu for permission to make that call.

Every guide holds certification from Nepal's Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation. Every group has 24/7 WhatsApp contact with our Thamel office and a written evacuation plan for this specific route before departure. We also require travel insurance that explicitly covers trekking above 4,000 m and helicopter evacuation, because a large number of standard policies quietly exclude anything above 3,000 m and trekkers discover this at the worst possible moment.

What Permits Do You Need and What Do They Cost in 2026?

You need an ACAP permit and a TIMS card. In 2026 ACAP costs NPR 3,000 for most foreign nationals and NPR 1,000 for SAARC nationals including India. TIMS costs NPR 1,000 for group trekkers and NPR 2,000 for solo trekkers. Both are included in your package price.

The ACAP, issued by Nepal's National Trust for Nature Conservation, is your legal entry pass to the Annapurna Conservation Area, a 7,629 sq km protected zone covering the entire ABC route. It is checked at multiple trail checkpoints, and permits bought at a checkpoint rather than in advance cost double. Children under 10 are exempt.

Permit Foreign Nationals SAARC Nationals (incl. India)
ACAP NPR 3,000 (approx. USD 22–25) NPR 1,000 (approx. USD 7–8)
TIMS (group) NPR 1,000 NPR 1,000 or less
TIMS (solo) NPR 2,000 NPR 1,000 or less

If you are researching Annapurna Base Camp trek cost for Indian trekkers specifically, that SAARC ACAP rate is a real and confirmed saving for 2026, and we reflect it directly in your quote rather than charging a flat permit line to everyone.

One rule worth being clear about: a licensed guide is mandatory. Independent unguided trekking has not been permitted in the Annapurna region since April 2023, and permit offices will not issue a TIMS card without guide details on the application. Any operator suggesting otherwise is describing pre-2023 conditions.

When Is the Best Time for This Short ABC Trek from Pokhara?

Late September to November and March to May are the best seasons. October delivers the clearest post-monsoon skies of the year, and April brings rhododendron blooms across the lower trail.

Autumn, late September to November. The strongest window. The monsoon has cleared the air, trails are dry, and visibility from base camp is at its annual best. October is the single most requested month for this trek and books out earliest, so enquire well ahead.

Spring, March to May. Warmer at lower altitude, with rhododendron forest in bloom through the Sinuwa to Dovan stretch in April. Afternoon cloud builds more often than in autumn, so morning starts matter for views.

Winter, December to February. Trekkable, and quieter on the trail. Expect sub-zero nights at Deurali and ABC and shorter daylight hours. Some higher teahouses reduce service. Workable if you are properly equipped and flexible.

Monsoon, June to August. We do not recommend this route in monsoon. Slippery stone steps, leeches in the lower forest, cloud cover obscuring the sanctuary, and elevated landslide risk on the access road all stack against you.

What Should You Pack for the 7 Day ABC Trek?

Pack layered clothing for a range from warm forest days to sub-zero nights at base camp. We provide your sleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag.

Essential gear:

  • Broken-in trekking boots — new boots plus the 1,800 m descent on Day 5 is the most common blister scenario we see, and it's entirely avoidable
  • Trekking poles — optional on most treks, close to essential here, since the Chhomrong staircase and the Day 5 descent both load knees heavily
  • Headlamp with spare batteries
  • Sun hat and high-SPF sunscreen for high-altitude UV
  • Thermal base layers
  • Fleece mid-layer
  • Waterproof shell jacket
  • Reusable water bottle or bladder (we recommend treated water over buying plastic at every teahouse)
  • Small personal first-aid kit
  • Any doctor-approved altitude medication

Provided by Thrill Himalaya Treks:

  • Sleeping bag
  • Down jacket
  • Duffel bag

We send a complete season-specific packing checklist once your dates are confirmed.

Who Is This Short ABC Trek Best Suited For?

This itinerary suits first-time high-altitude trekkers with basic fitness, working professionals with roughly a week free, couples, solo trekkers joining a group, and small friend groups who want a properly paced trek rather than a rushed one.

The typical trekker on this route is between 18 and 55, generally active but not an athlete, and has either done day hikes or one previous multi-day trek. It also works well for people who considered the 5-day option, read the walking hours, and sensibly decided they would rather have the extra day.

Solo travellers join group departures regularly, which is worth knowing if the USD 687 private rate is beyond your budget: joining an existing group brings you into the 567 or 537 tier for the same itinerary.
