My trip was from November 27th to December 4th and the weather was perfect. The grandstands were not crowded at all. It was cold in ABC, but it was doable. It was one of the most strenuous hikes with endless stairs. But you will have as many breaks as you like in the tea rooms and/or lodges.Day 1 (Banthanti – Ghoreapani) ascent: 919m / descent: 434m Day 2 (Ghoreapani – Poonhill) ascent: 319m / descent: 301m Day 2 (Poonhill – Chuile) ascent: 631m / descent: 1205m Day 3 (Chuile – Sinuwa) Ascent: 739 m / Descent: 858 m Day 4 (Sinuwa - Deurali) Ascent: 1554 m / Descent: 470 m Day 5 (Deurali - ABC) Ascent: 924 m / Descent: 30 m Day 6 (ABC ) - Sinuwa) Ascent: 378m / Descent: 2374m Day 7 (Sinuwa - Jhinu Danda) Ascent: 432m / Descent: 807m.


I had a wonderful time during Annapurna Base Camp Trek in September. There been raining for a couple of days but I have seen an incredible view from Poon Hill. Mr. Prakash from Nepal Himalayas Trekking organized my 10-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek In September. My trip was fantastic. My Guide Mr. Aadhitiya and Porter Mr. Nakul Khadka are very helpful and lovely. I have a chance to learn so many Nepali languages.
