This video is about trekking the Annapurna Base Camp Trek (or ABC Trek) in Nepal and is meant to be a trek report and guide for anyone interested in hiking this beautiful trail climbing deep into the very heart of the Annapurna range. It's the second part of a three part series about our two week hike along the southern Slopes of the Annapurna Himal from Pokhara to the Kali Ghandaki valley.
The first episode, covering the Mardi Himal Trek, can be found here: • The Mardi Himal Trek -...
Episode 3: The Kopra Danda Trek, can be found here:
• The Kopra Danda Trek -...
At the end of October 2022 we get off a van alongside the road between Pokhara and Beni in western Nepal. From the tiny hamlet of Kande we set off to a two week trek around the southern slopes of Annapurna Himal, one of the most famous and most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.
After completing the first leg of our trek, the Mardi Himal Trek, we find ourselves on the entrance of the Modi Khola Canyon in the Hot Spring village of Jhinu Danda.
From there we hike through Chomrong, Bhanuwa and Sinuwa to the hamlet of Bamboo.
On our second day on the trail, we manage to climb all the way up to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). In the morning of day 3 we finally reach Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) and witness a mind blowingly beautiful sunrise there.
Afterwards, we make our way back down the canyon to finally reach Chomrong again after one and a half days of hiking.

Your videos are awesome, keep up the good work! I'm doing ABC with my kids and wife this April, can't wait - did the AC 21 years ago, looking forward to returning to Nepal

[@biplavgautam]

Did ABC starting from Ghandruk and ending at Jinhu Danda April 2022 with my 13 and 10 year old kids. They loved it and now are begging me to take them to EBC next!

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

I hope your kids will enjoy EBC just as much! 😀

Ha! I'm taking MY 13 and 10 year old kids (and wife) to ABC THIS April! Did the AC 21 years ago and really looking forward to returning to Nepal

Thanks Alan! Happy if you like it! :)

Brilliant video, I'm doing the abc trek In april, but a longer version, I can't wait. Your video has just made me look forward to it even more!!

Thank you Michael! Enjoy your trek!

Hi Toni - thanks for sharing your excellent and informative videos. I've watched them over the last 18 months and really thank you for doing versions in English. I did the Manaslu Circuit in April 2022, having previously done EBC 2015/2017. I am back in Nepal in March this year to do the Langtang and Gosainkund trek. Your videos are always are so accurate in describing the walks and the videography is so inspiring. I also enjoy your honesty, saying its tough when it is and showing the hard work you've had to put in to the hike. The Manaslu EBC day walk recap always makes me laugh... 'there you have it 4400m is BS'. Anyway thanks again and to see more from you in the future. Jerry

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Hi Jerry! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! That is really very kind. 😊 I hope you have an amazing time in march! Enjoy!

[@erikapollner3502]

The most helpful video I've seen, so much useful info to go along with the beautiful scenery! Thank you!

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Thank you Erika! 😊 Have fun at ABC if you plan to go!

[@erikapollner3502]

@@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains I did two more-intense treks 30 years ago. Now looking for something gentler but still gorgeous. You have the best info that I've found!

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Thanks again! 😁 Langtang and Gosainkund might fit the bill, too. They are also not too difficult.

[@KobFu]

Good trip and video 👍😊

Trekking monk I did this trek in 1980 starting from Ghandruk and when from Chomrung onwards there was only a hut made from bamboo at Bamboo (literally) and the Hinko cave where one could get a cup of tea and a restless nights sleep. There was a group doing this as a camping trek. What a difference 40 years make.

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Trekking in the 80s must have been magical and much more adventurous!

[@yogavacararahula]

@@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains Adventurus, yes. Pre 1980s all treks from Pokhara actually started walking from Pokhara town itself. The motorable road did not extend much beyond the Tibetan camp outside Pokhara. The lakeside itself had maybe a few simple hotels catering to trekkers. There were very few trekking companies even then. Thamel district did not even exist as we know it today. The main trek then was to Tatopani and Jomsom. The Anapurna circuit started in about 1980.

Hi Toni, thank you for putting up this wonderful video. I am hoping to do this trek in the near future. I was wondering how you feel about your guide service. Would you recommend them?

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Hi James! I can definitely recommend both Sukra as a guide and Prems Nepal Trek as an agency in general. Especially (but not only) for the Annapurna region since Prem and his team of guides were actually the ones marking all the trails in the area.

[@anukumar08]

That's awesome trek. What month is better to trek the ABC? Thanks for advise.

[@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains]

Middle of October to early December will have the best weather, but might be crowded. March to May has less stable weather but isn't as crowded. Winter is too cold and summer is monsoon.

[@anukumar08]

@@TheMenWhoStareAtMountains Thanks for nice suggestion.
