Annapurna Base Camp Trek 10 Days Difficulty

Annapurna Base Camp 10 days trek is a moderate grade trip with most stops with an altitude under 3000 meters. Just for two days, you will remain at a higher elevation than that. During this trek, however, you will walk an average of 5-6 hours a day for 10 days. Climbing the 3000 steps to the village of Ulleri can get a bit physically demanding. Trekking in peak seasons, you will not encounter any dramatic weather shifts. Any exercise or preparation though not strictly required can help you a lot.

Heaters are only found in the dining halls and food like pasta, noodles, dal bhat, potatoes, vegetables, cereals, eggs, rice, soup, etc. are served. You may get private single, double, triple rooms, or even rooms shared with more people depending on the season. While in Kathmandu and Pokhara, you will stay at a 3-star hotel providing breakfast.

    The foothills of Annapurna immersed into my soul

    Thank you to Mr. Ram, tour manager from Sublime Trails for being a true professional on this trip. Also, I want to thank Mr. Shiva, my guide for being a wonderful guide and companion throughout this trip.
    I literally enjoyed every bit of this trip. The Annapurna Base Camp was quite covered with clouds, but I also enjoyed being in nature. It was a wonderful two weeks long stay in Nepal. Such a beautiful country. If I had time, I was planning for other trips in the monsoon. But, I'm saving for a future trip to Nepal. Stay blessed.

    Wholesome Annapurna Trip with Sublime Trails and my guide Mr. Ajit

    I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Ram Khadka from Sublime Trails for his effort in making this trip the best of my life. I was worried about altitude sickness, but the guide took care of me all the time. He was a very good person and a guide.

    The food was good. Also, the ethnic foods were tasty at Ghandruk. The sunset and sunrise were also at their best. The trip was good and also Mr. Ram gave me a complementary Kathmandu tour. The best company. Thanks for being my tour partner. Can’t wait to be in Nepal anytime soon.
