About Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The trail spanning in the Annapurna Base Camp trek encompasses the region owing to the belief of the Magar and Gurung tribe according to whom the region is home to the gods and a huge deposit of gold and precious metals. Each peak, waterfall, river, and forest in the trek to ABC has its own story surrounded by the local lore and the next day brings something different utterly unexpected. The base camp itself is a snowy coliseum of herculean glaciers and the lofty Himalayas piercing the silvery skyline. All in all, the Annapurna Sanctuary trek is a grand journey mixes both the cultural and natural aspects of the Annapurna region.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking begins from the trail-head at Pokhara. The city of lakes surrounded by mesmerizing landscapes is a 7-hour drive away from Kathmandu beyond which we begin our trekking. We begin our adventure from Nayapul towards Tikhedhunga heading to Ghorepani right on the foot of the mesmerizing Poonhill. Our first taste of Himalayan sunrise as the captivating Himalayan vistas like Manaslu(8,163m), Gangapurna (7,454m), the fish-tailed Machhapuchhre (6,997m), Lamjung Himal (6,983m) and countless other Himalayas of the Annapurna Range is illuminated by the rising sun. Through lush green forests filled with oak, juniper and rhododendron treks we continue our journey through vibrant hamlets of Ghorepani, Tadapani finally landing at Chhomrong. Guided by the majestic Himalayas of Annapurna Himalayan range we continue our journey in the Annapurna base camp trek route towards the settlement of Dovan and Deurali. The following day, we finally reach the base of the world's 10th tallest mountain Annapurna (8,091m) surrounded by the majestic Himalayas stretching towards the horizon. Machhapuchhre (6,997m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Hiunchuli (6441m) to name among the few presents. The journey then winds down towards Bamboo beyond which lies Jhinu Danda where refreshing hot spring water awaits us. The best Annapurna base camp trekking season is during autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May).

We, here at Frolic Adventure, have been conducting trekking activities to the Himalayas for over a decade.

Unforgettable ABC Trek

I went ABC trekking in early May, this is my second time to Nepal. We hired the same tour guide Raj, and have had a brilliant and amazing trekking tour! I was deeply moved on the route from MBC to ABC, surrounded by snowy mountains, the scenery is so beautiful! Our tour guide Raj is professional, friendly and funny. We had a great trekking experience with him. And the porters are very nice too. It was trekking peak time, most guest houses were all full, luckily Raj arranged all rooms ahead. I saw some walk-in trekkers have to sleep in the dining room. Trekking in Nepal is a lifetime experience, and we are already planning the next one.

ABC Trekking Experience

Raj, he is my trekking guide in Nepal. This is my second time in Nepal, I trekked to Poonhill in March 2013, and then ABC in April this year. I'm so glad that have Raj being the guide for both trekkings. He is professional, well prepared and kind, like he brought us fruits (I really didn't know he was carrying fruits for us from Pokhara to ABC), arranged the guest house for us (I saw many trekkers found difficulties to get an empty room due to high peak season). He has excellent trekking knowledge and experience. Thank you once again bro., see you again in our next EBC trip.

Never feel tired with the young and energetic guys

This is my second time to Nepal, it is always attractive to the mountains. Visit the Annapurna base camp, you can see the huge, awesome, elegance mountains which are very closed to you.Joined with the young guys of Frolic Adventure, with their sound of singing and energetic spirit, we won't feel tired. "Jaam, Jaam", kept walking and taking photos, it was a wonderful trekking experience to see the beautiful scenes. And also the delicious Nepalese food, it's so amazing.

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

We have just completed the ABC and Poon Hill combined trek with Frolic Adventures. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of having Raj as our guide and it was really great to meet up with him again. He was previously working for a different company and now started his own outfit called Frolic Adventures and he has brought with him excellent skills to work with his clients. I don't think you could go find a more pleasant, honest, reasonable and flexible person to have as your guide and organised everything for you on a personal and tailored level. We will be going back to Nepal again and again in the future, and would only want Frolic and Raj to arrange for us and to guide us. It's been excellent! Thanks, Raj!

21 days Nepal adventure including ABC Trek, Chitwan, Pokhara, and Kathmandu

From the minute I contacted Frolic Adventure they have been nothing less than amazing. Raj was so accommodating and organised a trip that my husband and I will never forget. Our trip included a city tour in Kathmandu with Rajesh, he was full of history and information and a real pleasure to spend the day with. Next day we met our trekking team for ABC had a run down and the frolic team addressed all our questions, and supplied our equipment for the trek(quick note I had asked Rajesh a good place to buy trekking poles and by the time I got back to the hotel Raj had supplied me some without even having to ask I was so grateful). On the way to Pokhara, we went white water rafting on the Trusili river which was fantastic. ABC TREK 9DAYS VIA POONHILL no words the whole experience was epic Sarooz our trekking guide was professional, attentive, motivational, and experienced, and it didn't stop there Sarooz went above and beyond and is a real asset to Frolic. Our porter Abinash was great, always on time and a pleasure to get to know, and our favourite night time dinner ritual was playing a local card game called Kitty with Sarooz and Abinash lots of laughs. We added halfway through the trip an extra night in Pokhara because we loved it so much there and Raj was so accommodating and rejigged our itinerary to make it happen where we went boating on Phewa lake and paragliding. Chitwan National park package a must do when there Krishna and his family were beautiful and full of local animal knowledge we even saw rhinos. Thank you, Raj and the Frolic team for everything we will be back soon to do Manaslu Trek and highly recommend people to book with them.
