Taking an early morning ride to Jhinu Danda, we will be on the road for about 2 hours. Starting from Pokahra, we will head north and turn east after we reach Hemja.

Continuing east, we will soon turn north again to get to Nayapul and head towards Jhinu Danda. En route, our permits will be checked at Birethanti village. Shortly after that, we will arrive at Jhinu Danda, reaching 1780 meters above sea level.

After our arrival at Jhinu Danda, we will get ready for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days. You will have to carry a light daypack to have easy access to your water bottle, devices, energy bars, and other stuff.

Meanwhile, our strong porters will carry your heavy bags. Every two trekkers in the group will share a single porter. Today’s trek distance is just 5 km, which takes about 3 hours to complete. The elevation gain of the day is almost 400 meters, taking us to 2170 meters above sea level.

Starting the first trekking day on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days, we will initially cross a suspension bridge to cross the Modi River.

After crossing this almost 200-meter-long bridge, we will ascend stone stairs gently and trek a dirt path to reach our destination of the day. Along the ascent, there are many plain stretches that are great resting points with views of the Annapurna South peak.

On the 2nd day of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days, we will cover over double the distance, about 11 km, and trek for about 5 to 6 hours to reach Bamboo village. This trek will gain us a cumulative ascent of 640 meters with 370 meters of descent.

The net elevation change of the day is very minimal. Starting the trek, we will descend from Chhomrong, going over a set of stone stairs and crossing the Chhomrong River over a suspension bridge.

After that, we will get to an ascending trail going through a lush rhododendron and cedar forest. About halfway through the trek, we will reach Lower Sinuwa village, followed by Upper Sinuwa.

From Chhomrong, we will cover about 5 km to reach Sinuwa village. Following a short resting session there, we will continue the trek by gently ascending over a rocky terrain. This trail leads us to Khuldighar, reaching 2540 meters above sea level.

Leaving Khuldighar, we will start the final descent of the day. This sharp descent takes us through a thick bamboo and rhododendron forest, featuring a short section of stone steps.

After a short while, we will arrive at the destination of the day. En route to today’s destination, we will get to see views of Fishtail and Annapurna South peaks.

Day 3 of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days features a 5 to 6 hours of estimated trek duration with an elevation gain of 920 meters. The cumulative ascent throughout the day is much greater as the trails are uneven and full of ups and downs.

Stretching over 10 km, today’s trek starts with a gentle ascent through a forested section, featuring a handful of small streams and makeshift bridges.

After covering 2 km of distance, we will reach the village of Dovan. From there, the trail turns more rugged with more ascents.

Trekking for 3 more kilometers takes us to the Himalaya village, where we rest a little before continuing the trek. The vegetation starts to get thinner as we move forward, and the trails feature sharp ascents as well.

After about 5 more kilometers of trekking, we will finally arrive at Deurali village. This village sits at 3230 meters above sea level, offering a charming countryside vibe.

This is the climactic day of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days, we will finally reach the Annapurna Base Camp, passing by Machhapuchhre Base Camp.

The total estimated trek duration is 5 to 6 hours, with a total trek distance of almost 7.7 km. The elevation gain of the day is a little over 900 meters.

Starting off, the trail goes up a sharp ascent over stone steps and forested trails. Soon enough, we will climb a set of switchbacks over a rocky terrain, winding along the slopes of an avalanche-prone hill.

Passing by the Hinku Cave area, the vegetation transitions to alpine settings in an instant. After we reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp, we will stop for a bit, rest our legs, and enjoy the scenes of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, and Gangapurna.

Leaving Machhapuchhre Base Camp, we will follow a grassy trail, ascending steadily up the valley. En route, we will cross many streams and soon reach the final ascent of the day.

After about an hour of trekking, we will finally reach Annapurna Base Camp. This base camp sits at 4130 meters above sea level and offers views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna I, Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli.

We will spend the night at a nearby lodge, but a short hike to a higher ridge is mandatory to keep you away from altitude sickness.

Today is the longest trekking day of the entire Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days itinerary. The total trekking distance is 14 km, with an estimated trek duration of 6 to 7 hours.

The elevation loss of the day is about 1800 meters, descending all the way down to 2310 meters above sea level. Starting off, we will go down a steady trail alongside a moraine, through a glacier valley. Soon enough, we will pass icy streams and reach the Machhapuchhre Base Camp region.

After a short resting break there, we will head towards Deurali village. From the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, we will trek about 3 km to get to our next stop. This descent features a set of stone steps with switchbacks over a rocky terrain.

Passing the switchbacks, the trail turns narrow, following the avalanche-prone area. During this descent, the terrain turns to sub-alpine vegetation.

From Deurali, we will get on a winding trail and cross a set of stone steps to get to the Himalaya village, our next stop. After trekking about 2.5 km, traversing an undulating section, we will reach Himalaya Village, reaching 2920 meters above sea level.

We will stop for a relaxing lunch break there. After lunch, we will trek 2 more km to reach Dovan village, passing by beautiful waterfalls and lush bamboo forest.

From Dovan, we will just have to cover 3 km to get to our final destination of the day. This final descent of the day follows the Modi River downstream and gently through a thick bamboo grove. At the end of the descent, we will have to climb up a little to get to Bamboo village.

Starting the day at Bamboo, today we will cover over 11 km to reach the end point of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in 6 days. The estimated trek duration is 5 to 6 hours with a net elevation loss of 530 meters.

The trek begins with a slight ascent towards Upper Sinuwa village. Soon after, the trail steeply descends all the way into the valley. After crossing the suspension bridge at Sinuwa, we will ascend a set of stone steps to reach Chhomrong village.

After resting, we will leave Chhomrong and go down a steep descent over stone steps. This path leads us directly to Jhinu Dada. Our lunch will be served there, at a local eatery, while we wait for the jeep to arrive.

After lunch, we will get on the jeep to get to Pokhara, ending the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 6 days.
