Trek Overview
Most travelers begin in Pokhara, drive toward the lower trailheads, and walk through villages such as Ghandruk, Chhomrong, Bamboo, Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and Annapurna Base Camp.
- › The route climbs gradually but includes many stone steps and repeated ascents and descents, so pacing matters as much as raw fitness.
- › ABC works well as a first serious Nepal trek when you allow enough days, avoid rushing altitude gain, and keep a weather buffer.
