Annapurna Base Camp - 8 days
If you want an Epic trek in Nepal but need a definite timeline without worrying about flight delays - this is the best option! Fly Dubai goes directly into Pokhara! no domestic flights or extra days to worry about.
If you want to do a Nepal Trek but don’t have the time to commit to Everest Base Camp, consider Annapurna Base Camp! The trade off from EBC - low altitude, no helicopters or crazy flights, less time and less expensive. But the views here are even more astonishing than EBC and the climb is shorter days and less altitude gain making it a great trek for newbies as well as experienced trekkers.
This is a combination trek where you will climb first to Poon Hill for sunrise on Day 2, and then continue all the way up the valley to reach Macchapure Base Camp and finally- Annapurna Base Camp! We’ll turn around and then stop on our last day at the Jhinu Hot Springs before heading home. For the full itinerary please check below.
