Note: Temperature ranges are approximate and may vary depending on elevation, weather, wind, cloud cover, and local mountain conditions.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Spring runs from March to May and brings warmer weather, clearer mountain views, and blooming rhododendron forests along the lower sections of the trail.

Autumn runs from September to November and is the most popular time. The sky is usually clearer after the monsoon, with good mountain visibility during the morning.

Winter is possible, but it gets cold near Deurali and Annapurna Base Camp. Snow may also affect the upper trail. Monsoon is less ideal because rain can make stone steps slippery, and clouds may obscure the peaks.

During the Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you stay in local teahouses run by local families. The rooms are basic, with simple beds and shared bathrooms, but they provide a comfortable place to rest after each trekking day. Lower stops usually feel more comfortable, while places near Deurali and Annapurna Base Camp have fewer services because of the higher altitude.

Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging are available at some teahouses for an additional fee. These services are not always stable on the upper trail, so bring a power bank and enough cash. Warm clothes are also important, especially for Deurali and Annapurna Base Camp.

Meals are simple and made for trekkers. Dal bhat is the most common choice because it gives you enough energy for long walking days. You may also find noodles, soup, fried rice, potatoes, pasta, pancakes, eggs, tea, and coffee. Food options become limited higher up, so carry light snacks for the trail.

The Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek is moderate to challenging. You do not need climbing skills, but you should be ready for uphill climbs, stone steps, forest trails, and long walking days.

The trek reaches Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130m / 13,550ft, and the itinerary gains altitude quickly over a short number of trekking days. Walk at a steady pace, stay hydrated, and tell your guide immediately if you develop headache, nausea, dizziness, unusual fatigue, or breathing difficulty. Trekkers who prefer a slower pace or more time to adjust to altitude should consider a longer Annapurna Base Camp itinerary.

This trek is best for travelers who want to reach Annapurna Base Camp quickly. Fit beginners can do it with a bit of training, guide support, and a steady pace. Trekkers who prefer a slower pace can choose our 10-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek or 12-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The route moves from warm city areas to cold mountain villages and high base camp terrain. Pack light, but bring enough warm clothing for early mornings, evenings, and Annapurna Base Camp.

    An Unforgettable Manaslu Adventure with Sami
Our Manaslu Circuit trek with Sami and her mountain hiking team was truly an unforgettable experience. Sami is an outstanding leader—calm, knowledgeable, and always attentive to the needs of every member in the group. Her understanding of the terrain, weather, local culture, and safety procedures gave us complete confidence throughout the trek. Even on the most demanding days, her encouragement and positive energy kept the group motivated. What made this journey truly special was the sense of friendship and teamwork that Sami created within the group. We were not treated as customers, but as part of a family. The stunning Himalayan scenery, high passes, monasteries, and remote villages became even more meaningful because of the people we shared the journey with. If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and warm mountain hiking company in Nepal, I highly recommend Sami and her team . The Manaslu Circuit trek with them will remain a lifetime memory. Highly recommended.

    A great trip in the east of Nepal
Together with my brother, we made the Kanchenjunga hike (10 days) to the Kanchenjunga Base Camp, in the eastern part of Nepal. Our guides Sanjib and Sami did a great job, the trip was well organized and we really enjoyed hiking with the two. After the trek Sanjib organized some more entertaining days in the surrounding of Kathmandu. In the end we decided to make another trek with him in March 2026. Sanjib and Sami are a very lovely couple and do everything to make you feel comfortable.

    Sanjib is the best guide
My friend and I did a holiday to Nepal for our 30th birthdays. We planned a sunset trek with Joyful Eco Treks last minute, they were really flexible and accommodating. We loved every minute of our sunset trek. It was an experience we will never forget. Sanjib made us feel 100% comfortable with fantastic English. He was amazing and we totally reccomend to anyone.

The experience was one of the best that I've ever had. I got to meet new people on the trip, and the guide was very humble. I would not hesitate to book my next trip with the same guide. The trip to Tsho Rolpa was one of the best that I've ever had, highly recommended

    Friendly, wise & safe Joyful Eco Treks
I met Sami & Sanjib on the Kanchenjunga base camp trek, they were guiding two German trekkers, and they seemed to be having a great time and had clearly built up a very evident strong friendship bond together. I come from a trekking guide back ground myself and was very impressed with how caring, friendly and professional Sami & Sanjib where, and in particularly I noticed how efficiently they changed trekking plans to accommodate health issues arising with their clients.

    bellissima esperienza Thso rolpa trek
Ho conosciuto Sanjib durante un trekking ad aprile, ha aiutato me e la mia amica anche se non eravamo parte del suo gruppo. Mi sono affidata a lui una volta tornata in Nepal. Sanjib ci ha proposto un trekking che ha rispettato tutti i criteri da noi richiesti, volevamo un trekking poco turistico, autentico e in un bel posto, che passasse anche da alcuni villaggi locali e così è stato. Sanjib è totalmente adeguato nel suo ruolo da guida, ho apprezzato molto la facilità con cui riesce a creare un buon rapporto con il gruppo abbattendo la distanza cliente/guida che a volte si crea in questo tipo di esperienze.

    EBC trek with female guide
I did the Everest Base Camp trek with Samikshya Bajagain, and it was an amazing experience. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and she took great care of me throughout the journey. She is extremely professional and calm, even when things don’t go exactly as planned. I always felt safe and supported, and her positive attitude made a big difference on tough days. Besides being an excellent guide, she is also very kind and caring — she checked on me often, shared local stories, and made the trek feel personal and special. I can highly recommend her, especially for solo travelers or anyone looking for a reliable and experienced female guide.
