Overview

“You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so… get on your way!” – Dr. Seuss

The Round Annapurna Base Camp Trek (RABC) is Nepal’s ultimate three-week trekking adventure, combining the best of both the Annapurna Circuit Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek. This epic journey allows trekkers to encircle the entire Annapurna massif, experiencing panoramic Himalayan views, cultural immersion, and high-altitude adventure in one extraordinary expedition. From lush subtropical valleys to rugged alpine terrain, sacred temples to soothing natural hot springs, this trek offers a complete Himalayan experience for serious trekkers, photographers, and adventure enthusiasts.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Bhulbhule, following the beautiful Marsyangdi River valley. The trail gradually ascends through terraced farmlands, dense forests, and charming traditional villages, offering stunning views of waterfalls, rivers, and local rural life. As you reach Manang Valley, the landscape transforms into arid high-altitude terrain, providing dramatic Himalayan vistas. Acclimatization activities here include excursions to Chongkor Viewpoint, Gangapurna Glacier, and nearby Buddhist monasteries, blending adventure with cultural discovery.

The trek continues over the challenging Thorong La Pass (5,416m / 17,769 ft), one of the highest trekking passes in the world, offering 360-degree Himalayan panoramas of Annapurna, Gangapurna, and Dhaulagiri ranges. Descending into the mystical Mustang region, trekkers explore Kagbeni, Jharkot, and the sacred Muktinath Temple, a revered site for both Hindus and Buddhists. A jeep ride brings you to Tatopani, where rejuvenating natural hot springs offer a welcome rest.

From Tatopani, the trek ascends to Ghorepani, the gateway to Poon Hill (3,210m), famed for sunrise views over Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu ranges. Continuing toward Annapurna Base Camp, the trail winds through rhododendron forests, traditional Gurung villages, and Machhapuchhre Base Camp, culminating at the Annapurna Sanctuary (4,130m). Here, the golden morning light illuminates Annapurna, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre, and Gangapurna, creating a once-in-a-lifetime alpine spectacle.

The final descent leads through Chhomrong village to Jhinu Danda, where another dip in a natural hot spring offers relaxation before returning to Pokhara, a serene lakeside city.
