Don’t have whole two weeks to do Annapurna Base Camp Trek? We have option – the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
This Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is for the trekkers who want to trek there in less time. The itinerary follows slightly a different route to the normal Annapurna Base Camp Trek to finish it is less time. While taking a different route, this trip skips Ghorepani Poon Hill route, instead it goes straight to Chhomrong via Dhampus and Tolkha village. A great optional trip to the Himalayan amphitheater, Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek provides you the same magic of trekking through Modi Khola valley up towards the Annapurna Sanctuary.

We are at the elevation of 1,400 meters from sea level and are going well above 5,000 meters on the trip. We will take this day as our acclimatization and preparation day before we head up towards the mountains. Instead of staying idle in hotel, we will take you for a wonderful day tour of Kathmandu valley. Exploring UNESCO’s cultural heritage sites in Kathmandu is the best way to know about historical, cultural and spiritual aspects of this 2 millennia old city. We will visit Swoyambhunath popularly known as the Monkey Templethat is oldest monument in Kathmandu valley, Kathmandu Durbar Squarethat is one of the medieval palace squares in Kathmandu valley, Boudhanaththat is the largest Buddhist stupa and Pashupatinaththat is a Hindu temple premises with open Hindu cremation platforms on the bank of River Bagmati. Once we are back to hotel in the afternoon, we will go for last minute gearing up for our trekking adventure.
We will drive to Pokhara, 200 km west of Kathmandu, today. Pokhara is the main gateway to the trekking in Annapurna region. The highway that leads us to Pokhara is full of beautiful villages, rivers, and surroundings. It will take us about six hours to reach Pokhara. This city provides beautiful view of the Annapurna range, peaceful atmosphere, and a stay by the lakeside. Once we reach Pokhara, we can go for a relaxing walk along the walking lane in the Lakeside.
It is our first day of trekking adventure today. We drive for about 45 minutes to Dhampus to start the trekking adventure. Our destination for the day is Tolkha. If the weather is clear, we can behold the Annapurna range right in front of use. We start the trekking for the day as we enjoy the view of the Himalayan peaks. It is mostly a nature walk through forested part to the village of Tolkha. When we reach Tokha, we check into a teahouse and immerse into the surrounding atmosphere.
On the second day of the trekking adventure, we will trek to Chhomrong, a beautiful ethnic Gurung village. We descend to New Bridge on the bank of Modi Khola; cross the river and start walking up towards Chhomrong through the river valley. Once we reach Jhinu, it is a steep walk up the hill to Chhomrong village. Once we reach Chhomrong and settle in a teahouse, we can walk around the village to explore.
We trek to Dovan today. Our trail runs along the river valley up towards the Annapurna Sanctuary. We ascend and descend the trail through beautiful nature and through the river gorge towards our destination for the day. We can experience a beautiful nature trek through bamboo forested trail and a wonderful surrounding.
Our destination for the day is Machhapuchhre Base Camp that stands at the elevation of 3,700 meters from sea level in the Annapurna valley. As we trek higher, we can feel more of the mountain magic. Lovely and fresh mountain air that runs throughout the trail keeps us going without feeling the tiredness of walking. We reach MBC to settle into a teahouse and explore and observe the charm of the surroundings.
We finally reach the ultimate destination of the trip – Annapurna Base Camp. We enter into a magical Himalayan amphitheater that provides a 360 ° view of the Annapurna range. We feel overwhelmed with what we come to experience at this point – the mountain magic. Simply being at the elevation of 4,130 meters above the sea level brings us such a feeling and moment that we can cherish for life. After enjoying the life time moment and experience at the Annapurna Base Camp, we traverse the trail all the way back to Dovan to stay overnight.
We trace the trace to Jhinu Danda via Chhomrong today. Jhinu Danda lets us enjoy a natural hot spring bath on the bank of Modi Khola. Taking a dip into the natural hot spring pool by the side of the river is rejuvenating after so many days of walking up and down through the mountains. We start early from Dovan to make it to Jhinu on time so that we have enough time to go for the hot spring bath.
On the final day of trekking adventure, we trek to Nayapul today. We will walk past beautiful small villages along the trail. The walk along the Modi Khola valley takes us to Nayapul where we get a ride back to Pokhara. Once we are in Pokhara, we will have leisurely time to wander around the lake side.
We drive back to Kathmandu today. Drive through the same highway we took earlier to go to Pokhara takes us back to the Nepalese capital city. Once we reach Kathmandu and check into hotel, we will have free time on our own. After several days in the quiet mountains, life in Kathmandu might feel a sudden change.
