Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 5 Days

Useful Information

Is the 5 Day Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek suitable for everyone?

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is considered as a beginner-friendly hike as we do not have to walk on a harsh route like the Everest Base Camp Trek. Moreover, the highest altitude of this trek is 4130 meters which is not too high for well-trained trekkers. However, there still are some factors that make the short Annapurna Base Camp Trek a little difficult and not suitable for everyone.

If you are well aware of the condition of the trekking route and prepared to cope with all of these obstacles, you can ascend this trek even if you are a beginner. One of the most challenging parts of the 5 Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek is that it has no acclimatization day at all. Therefore, trekkers need to ascend to the altitude of 4130 meters above sea level, that too, within just two days.

Except from that, the trek is well-organized and we also take proper care of the trekkers' accommodation and food throughout the trek. Therefore, Adventure Bound Nepal recommends the short Annapurna base Base Camp 5 Day Trek to anyone. However, if you suffer from heart disease, asthma, or bone disease, or if you are a pregnant female, please do not ascend to this trek.

Food and Accommodation During the 5 Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Adventure Bound team is well aware of the fact that food and accommodation are two of the most important factors of a successful trek. Therefore, we make sure to arrange the best food and the most cozy and comfortable hotels and lodges for accommodation during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek journey.

Trekkers can expect multiple hotels, tea houses, and lodges serving a lot of cuisine options right from the start to the last day of the trek. The hotels and tea houses in this region offer food like Nepali Thali set, Thakalai Khana Set, Momo, Pizza, Burger, Sandwiches, Chowmein, Thukpa, Noodles, tea, coffee, and much more. Besides, the hotels, tea houses, and guesthouses offer cozy and comfortable rooms, hot water for showers, internet, mobile networks, and all the other facilities that trekkers might need while on a journey at such high altitudes.

How to Prepare for the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

Trek to ABC, as mentioned above, is not a challenging route. The Adventure Bound team recommends this trekking expedition for beginners as well as professional trekkers. However, no matter how easy a trekking route is, preparation and planning are always necessary. So, let us shed light on some of the best ways to prepare for the Annapurna Base Camp 5 Day Trek:

Smart and adequate packing makes the trek more interesting and successful. Therefore, trekkers must be very careful and smart while making the backpack ready.
