Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Hi All,

I am planning trekking to Nepal (again) in May 2021 (postpone from my initial plan in Dec 2020).
I have completed my 1st trekking (Nepal) in Dec 2020 – winter to Everest Basecamp.

Furthermore, I really enjoy and love trekking in Himalaya region and want to explore more about Annapurna.
Actually I have not decided yet, whether I choose Annapurna Basecamp (include Mardi Himal) this year.

I will start fly to Kathmandu from Jakarta (Indonesia) on April 27th and arrived in Kathmandu on April 28th.
We can set the meeting point at Airport or Thamel, Kathmandu. However I haven’t booked the flight and date still adjustable.

Here’s the summary of itinerary (ABC + Mardi Himal) :
Day 1 International flight Jakarta to Bangkok (transit)
Day 2 International flight Bangkok to Kathmandu + Free time tourist activity and getting ACAP
Day 3 Land transportation Kathmandu to Pokhara (920 m)
Day 4 Rest day + city tour and TIMS Registration
Day 5 Drive to Kande and trekking to Deurali Mardi (2,100 m)
Day 6 Trekking from Deurali Mardi (2,100 m) to High Camp (3,500 m)
Day 7 Trekking from High Camp (3,500 m) to Upper Point and continue to Mardi Himal BC (4,500 m), return to HC
Day 8 Trekking down from High Camp (3,500 m) to Forest Camp (2,900 m)
Day 9 Trekking from Forest Camp (2,900m) to Chomrong (1,951 m). –> Start move to ABC trekking
Day 10 Trekking from Chomrong (1,951 m) to Dovan (2,130m)
Day 11 Trekking from Dovan (2,130m) to Machhapuchare Base Camp (3,720 m)
Day 12 Trekking from MBC (3,720 m) to Annapurna Base Camp (4,160 m)
Day 13 Trekking down from Annapurna Base Camp (4,160 m) to Bamboo (2,050 m)
Day 14 Trekking down from Bamboo (2,050 m) to Jhinu Danda (1,700 m)
Day 15 Trekking down from Jhinu Danda (1,700 m) to Nayapul (1,070 m), drive to Pokhara
Day 16 Sightseeing in Pokhara and rest day
Day 17 Back to Kathmandu
Day 18 International Flight from Kathmandu to Bangkok (transit)
Day 19 International Flight arrived in Jakarta and going back home

If you have more question, just send me personal message.
Thank you.

  1. Fix date atau flexible bro? Ane rencana mau ke Mardi Himal langsung, perkiraan bulan Nov awal. Depend on policy.

    • Belum fix date, tapi perkiraan emang akan jalan di Des 2020 (pertimbangkan izin cuti panjang juga :D). Iya betul tunggu travelling policy, terakhir 31 Agustus akan ada update Travel Restrictions ke Nepal (seharusnya 17 Aug).

      Btw akan berangkat dari Jakarta kah? Berapa orang rencananya ?

  2. Utk sekarang msh ready 2 org, rencana awal dari Jakarta tp lihat kondisi dulu, karena semua msh agak blur sekarang.

  3. Dah fix berangkat desember nanti?

    • Hi Dina,
      Aku kemungkinan besar berangkat Des nanti (selama update Corona membaik ya), ada kemungkinan juga aku solo trekking kalau ga ada teman 🙂
      Btw my 1st priority ke Annapurna Circuit ya, ada di thread sebelah juga.

    • Welcome to this Himalayan Kingdom.
