A Life-Changing Trek to Annapurna Base Camp in 7 Days
I just returned from the 7 days Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Himalayan Recreation journey, and I’m still overwhelmed by the beauty of the Himalayas and the care I received from the team.
As a solo traveler from Germany, I was a bit nervous at first. But from the moment I arrived in Pokhara, everything was perfectly organized. My guide, Ramesh, was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly supportive throughout the trek. Every day brought breathtaking views from the charming village of Ghandruk to the awe-inspiring Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by snow-capped giants. We even got lucky with crystal-clear skies!
The teahouses were comfortable and the food was better than I expected. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the itinerary and how well the team responded to my pace. The hot springs at Jhinu Danda on the way back were the perfect ending to a challenging yet deeply rewarding trek.
If you're considering doing the ABC trek, I can wholeheartedly recommend Himalayan Recreation. Their professionalism level, safety, and personal attention was outstanding. Thank you for an unforgettable adventure, I will be back for the Mardi Himal Trek next!

Well supporting from local guides and porters
This is the first time I visit Nepal for trekking and ABC trek is one of memorable trip to me. We received well support from the young and friendly guides Santosh and Asok as well as local porters during the trek

The weather on the trekking route changed quickly from hot to cold, from sunny to rainy and snowy just in 1 day, so be aware of it to prepare enough and suitable clothing for the trip

The great experience I have had so far!
I have had the great experiences in ABC trek tour with Santosh tour guide and the company set-up during this trek. This’s my first time in Nepal and the high mountain trekking and doing this as a solo traveler as well. Despite of some worried about the trip before I came to Nepal, this trip was amazing with me. The guide was so caring me and help me understand more about Nepalese’s living, culture, young generation perspectives and also take to me lots lots of nice pictures 🥰🥰🥰. The foods on the trekking tour is quite good for me. I like soup (I tried almost type of soup here 😂), fried rice & fried noodle. Some guess bourse also have machine coffee and ginger lemon tea with honey is so good.
If you have plan to go to Nepal and trekking, I highly recommend you choose ABC Trek if you like the trail that combines between the forest and the mountains. And go with Santosh is never boring trip as well 😂😂😂

Amazing experience to ABC
Santosh and Rash are amazing tour guides, very supportive from day 1, always listen carefully to our requests and make sure to deliver the best solution and service to us. I appreciate their dedicated work and professional experience. Our porters are super lovely and kind as well, I love them all and every moment on the trek. After a week spent together we feel like family and friends now.

My recommendation for the company is that the tour could adjust the schedule a bit due to physical conditions of each group. For my team it would be better if it is 4 days up - 2 days down instead of what we did 3 days up - 3 days down. Going up is tougher so it would be easier for people to adjust to intensive climb, also it felt a bit rush on the 1st 3 days to keep up with the schedule (we trek 7-8 hours a day) and didn’t have much time to enjoy the tea houses and surrounding areas.

Also make sure to train yourself well before the trek in order to make it joyful and not suffer too much from muscle pain and other issues. Protect your knee caps and angles are the must-do. Since ABC is considered as not-too-hard trek without much altitude sickness but still it’s super physically demanding.

The trek to ABC is so beautiful with wonderful landscapes and mountain view. I definitely want to come back to do another trek around this area.

A great & well organised experience
I highly recommend Himalayan recreation to anyone planning to trek to the Annapurna Basecamp. Everything from start to finish was all taken care of, taking away all of the stress of organisation so that I could focus on enjoying the trek.

Ashok was very responsive on whatsapp at all times and was able to adapt the tour when circumstances changed. For example, when my flight to Pokhara was cancelled, Ashok arranged for a friendly driver to take me all the way there by private car instead (I did have to wait 1.5 hours for the driver, but traffic in Kathmandu is difficult). My guide Santosh and porter Bal were very friendly and accommodating and were good company during the trek. They have the English skills required to answer the majority of questions, particularly relating to the trek. Overall, a very good experience.

The trek itself is very beautiful. It has everything, including rural villages with rice terraces, bamboo forests, and epic mountains. The accommodation is basic but everything you need for a trek (much better than camping). The weather forecast is inaccurate - I enjoyed decent weather despite the forecast being constant rain/thunder. I found the difficulty to be much easier than others state, and could have completed the trek in 5-6 days. Almost anyone with a decent level of fitness would be able to complete this trek (adjusting the duration to accommodate).
