Annapurna Base Camp Trek 5 days trip is a fast-paced trek, designed for physically fit hikers who want to experience the majestic Annapurna Sanctuary (4,130m). We compress a classic 10-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek into a five action-packed days. We drive by private/sharing jeep from Pokhara to Samrung, the starting and ending point of a 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
The 5-day Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp Trek is highly efficient for time-bound travelers. It eliminates lower-elevation residential walks and reaches massive high-altitude terrain rapidly.
At the same time, Annapurna Base Camp 5 days itinerary brings a high risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Because you climb from 850m to 4,130m in just 3 days, your body has very little time to naturally acclimate.
We reccommend, this short 5-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek route should only be attempted by physically fit hikers who have previous high-altitude experience. If you are prone to altitude issues and want a more relaxed pace, it is highly recommended to extend 5 days ABC Trek to a 7 to 8-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek Itinerary.
