The first part of your trek is easy passing through numerous small villages and settlements. Afterwards you will ascend gently to the final destination of the day. The majority people of the village are Gurung community and their religion is Buddhist. They are engaged in agricultural activities, tourism business and some are employed in Gorkha and Indian regiments.

To begin your trek, you will ascend steeply for the early 2 hours and then ascend gently passing through Ulleri (2070m.) and Banthanti, Magar villages. On the way, you will see good view of Machhapuchhare or Fish Tail (6997m.), Hiunchuli (6441m.), and Annapurna (7219m.) South. Now, your trail is quite easier passing through rhododendron and shadowy trees and descends gently up to the final camp. If you are lucky then you may see some of the wild life such as monkey and wild birds.

After breakfast we trek down to Tadapani (2650 m.). After walking for almost one and a half hour you reach Gurung Hill which offers the splendid mountain views like Poon Hill. From here you follow small forests with rhododendron, bamboos until you reach Deurali. The trail goes steeply down through deep forests all the way to Banthati. It takes one hour from here to reach Tadapani which is a small village surrounded by beautiful forests and offer you a magnificent view of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Fishtail, and Annapurna II.

It takes about five hours. It is very easy trek by descending gently all the way through Rhododendron, Oak and other kinds of dense forests. You could hear different kinds of birds chirping on the way to Kimrung Khola. Immediately, ascend steeply and walk at a level for 45 minites and gently steeps and flat to Chomrong. Chhumrung is a main gateway to Annapurna Base Camp trek and inhabited by Gurung, one of the major Ethnic group of Nepal.
Our route now climbs quite steeply, high above the river, through bamboo forest and isolated farmsteads. The teahouses at Jhinu provide a welcome opportunity to stop for a drink and a rest on this long, hot climb. Ascending further along a treeless ridge we come to Taglung and just a short distance beyond this is chomrong. From this Gurung village, there is a tremendous view of Annapurna South, as well as impressive views of Machhapuchhare. 4 to 5 hours walking.

After dropping down to the Chomrong Khola on steep stone steps, the trail climbs again, initially through terraced fields and then through a forest of bamboo and rhododendron. Today’s walk is always either up or down on steep paths which are often paved. Sometimes there are views of the Annapurnas and Machhapuchhare ahead, but often the forest is too thick to allow more than a tantalizing glimpse. After reaching the village of Khuldigar, we descend a stone staircase to a section of exceptionally thick bamboo forest which leads to the settlement known as “Bamboo Lodge”. From here, we climb steeply through bamboo and rhododendron forest, following the trail high above the river to day’s end at Himalaya Hotel.

Climbing steeply, we soon reach a fire-blackened overhang which has been walled-in to make a small lodge. This place is known as Hinku Cave. The trail rises continually now, as we near the entry to the Sanctuary. Passing the lodges at Deurali and Bagar, we arrive at the level and grassy moraine platform known as Machhapuchhare Base Camp.

Another short day today, and a fairly gentle ascent through tranquil meadows brings us to Annapurna Base Camp. Increasingly impressive views reward us for our efforts as we climb the last steep section before reaching the base camp area. From here there are fantastic views of the south face of Annapurna I. [2 hours walking].

Today is a rest and acclimatization day and there are superb views from the top of the moraine ridge which lies just beyond the lodges.
