Experience all the thrills of the 7-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek in 2025 and 2026.
7-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek, or ABC Trek, is one of Nepal’s most popular treks— undoubtedly one of the finest. There are plenty of reasons to choose this trek over its many competitors scattered across the length and breadth of the Himalayas: its relative accessibility from Kathmandu, its unique combination of authentic cultural encounters and spectacular alpine scenery, its comfortable teahouse-style accommodations, and its reasonably gentle elevation changes.
But our seven-day Annapurna Base Camp trekking itinerary offers one perk that few other treks in Nepal can match: the opportunity to visit and return from the awe-inspiring Annapurna Sanctuary in just a week.
At Alpine Ramble Treks, we’ve leveraged our considerable experience in the trekking industry to make this expedition possible. We’ve arranged the most efficient transportation, acquired the most reliable gear, and trained the best guides in the business to bring you safely along each step of the mighty Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

Marvel at the intersection of culture and nature during one of the best treks in Nepal
During your adventure on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek for 7 Days, you’ll discover a world of quiet mountain villages where traditional cultures and ancient traditions still hold sway. You’ll visit the lovely towns of Ghandruk, Chhomrong, Deurali, and many lesser-known hamlets, where you’ll meet friendly locals eager to share their way of life.

7-Day Annapurna Base Camp Voyage Best Time/ Season
The summer monsoon largely dictates trekking seasons in Nepal, and our short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is no exception. The monsoon typically lasts from June to August, and most visitors consequently choose to hike during the spring months of February to May or the autumn months of September to November.
These are the best times of year to enjoy the perfect combination of comfortable temperatures and clear mountain views. But you can hike in the Annapurnas at any time of year, and the snow-laden trails of winter are just as mysterious and evocative as the mist-shrouded hillsides of summer.
Whenever you choose to travel, rest assured that Alpine Ramble Treks will create a trekking adventure surpassing even your highest expectations.
7-Day Annapurna Base Camp Trek Difficulty
Our short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most accessible hikes in the Himalayas. Most good health and reasonable physical fitness travelers will be able to complete this itinerary without issue, and no previous trekking experience is required.
However, this trek reaches altitudes higher than 4,000 meters, and drinking lots of water and getting plenty of rest is essential to let your body adjust naturally to the increased elevation. As always, your guide will look after your progress and ensure you enjoy a safe and rewarding trek to Annapurna Base Camp.
