How hard is Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek 5 Days?
The 5-day Annapurna Base Camp trek is a moderate type of trek. Annapurna Base Camp is located at an altitude of 4,130 meters. This is not a high-altitude base camp, so trekkers should not worry about the AMS but precautions should be done. The daily trekking time is 6-8 hours because it is a short hike with a significant amount of distance. The trails to Annapurna Base Camp are well-maintained, and in some areas, there are many stairs to make it easier for trekkers. Some trekkers find this annoying, but it is done for their convenience. The stairs are made for the monsoon season easy because in monsoon the trails become muddy and slippery.
Generally, trekkers will not have to climb difficult slopes or walk on icy trails very much. However, it can be more difficult during snowfall, as this makes the trails icy and slippery. In addition, there is a lower risk of altitude sickness. Ups and downs with a series of stone steps are part of the Annapurna Base Camp hikes. The availability of teahouses makes the trek easier on these routes. Overall, if you are able to walk 6-8 hours a day on mountainous terrain, you can easily complete the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

Great Annapurna Trek, lifetime experience
January 29, 2023
I booked a 10-day trek around the Annapurna region with Nepal Trek Hub. From the beginning of Communication, I was asking so many questions regarding Annapurna Trek. Every time I got my answer so quickly. Shreeram was the best man to solve each and every query regarding this Annapurna Trek. I had so much information regarding the Annapurna Trekking so I was well prepared regarding types of equipment and gear. On arrival, Shreeram Pick Up me from the airport. We had a nice conversation in hotel regarding my trip. My Guide Rajesh was there to meet me and afterwards, rajesh took care of everything. He was hero of my trip not only as a guide but also as a friend. As I am alone I was frightened that I could be board but that thing did not happen to me as Rajesh was so funny
Being single it is hard to get the accommodation in Annapurna as I understood myself, but my guide managed me super accommodation everyday. We were doing Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek with Annapurna Base Camp. As my guide was Encyclopedia, I understood many things regarding Nepal such as how Nepal formed. What is its history? What are the culture and ethnicity? Language, politics, rural life and many other things that other travellers do not care about.
I was so lucky in terms of weather because from the start of my trek to end, it was crystal clear weather so I saw many mountains, terrains and landscapes. It was also good to see the rhododendron flowers blooming in the forest. I enjoyed the mesmerizing view of the Forest and mountains.
I saw Mt.Annapurna, Mt Dhaulagiri, Mt. Nilgiri, Fishtail mountain and many other beautiful peaks around the region. It was quite narrow valley but the scenery was amazing itself plus I got more impression that the local porters were carrying 60-70 kg easily in baskets to the hotel’s supplies. And the more interesting thing is they were in flip-flops.
Overall, my experience with Nepal Trek Hub was super. They were kind and helpful as well as very professional in their profession. They are about the client’s need and what they want. They were also very happy to customize the trip even in office or in Trip as well. I can recommend to anyone who is going to Nepal for any trip.
