The ABC Trek felt like a personal journey through the Himalayas, filled with breathtaking peaks, peaceful trails, and moments that stayed with me long after.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Annapurna Base Camp (ABC<\/strong>): <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A place guarded by towering Himalayan giants, a bowl-shaped paradise sitting quietly at 4,130m, surrounded by peaks like Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Annapurna South. A place that feels less like a destination and more like a dream.
This is the story of how I<\/em>, along with my friends, planned this moment for months, talked about it endlessly, and finally acted on it  voluntarily, spontaneously, and excitedly  stepping into one of the most unforgettable journeys of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adventure Begins \u2014 Kathmandu to Pokhara<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The adventure started with a night bus from Kathmandu. I remember carrying a strange mix of emotions \u2014 happiness, excitement, and nervousness<\/strong> all sitting quietly in my chest.
As the bus rolled through the darkness, all I could think was:
\u201cThis is actually happening.\u201d<\/em> We reached Pokhara early in the morning, sleepy yet energized by the thought of the mountains waiting ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 1 \u2014 Harichowk to Upper Sinuwa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We took a jeep from Harichowk to Jhinu. The road was rough, bumpy, and thrilling \u2014 like the mountains were shaking us awake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment we got off the jeep, a long, narrow suspension bridge<\/strong> welcomed us\u2026 or challenged us. We had to wait around 45 minutes for the endless stream of mules and horses to cross from the other side. It was chaotic but funny, and it set the tone for the trek: unpredictable, wild, and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trek Begins<\/strong>: Right after the bridge, the trail hit us with an intense uphill<\/strong> nearly 2 hours straight<\/strong>. My backpack felt heavier than I expected, but the excitement kept me moving. The weather was foggy, so the scenery was mostly of lush hills, deep valleys, and scattered village houses<\/strong> barely visible through the mist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we reached Jhinu Danda<\/strong>, the fog was still there, but the vibe felt warm  trekkers resting, locals smiling, the sound of the Modi Khola far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch at Chhomrong<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After about 15 minutes of walking from Jhinu Danda, we reached Chhomrong<\/strong>, a beautiful Gurung village clinging to the hillside.
We had lunch there \u2014 dal bhat, obviously  surrounded by narrow stone steps, terraced fields, and the occasional group of mules passing by. The downhill started right after leaving the village, and, honestly, it was fun. The scenery opened up, and there were moments when I\u2019d just stop and look around because everything felt unreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Uphill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the river, the trail rose aggressively again. We crossed Lower Sinuwa<\/strong>, then pushed hard through forested stone steps toward Upper Sinuwa<\/strong>, where we finally decided to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time we reached our lodge around 4 PM<\/strong>, the fog was everywhere, hiding the mountains but giving the place a mysterious vibe.
Day 1 felt physically heavy but emotionally exciting \u2014 like the journey had now truly started<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 2 \u2014 Upper Sinuwa to Deurali (8:00 AM \u2013 3:45 PM)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We began the day at 8 AM<\/strong> with breakfast and instantly dropped into a downhill section leading toward Bamboo. The trail passed through dense green forests \u2014 bamboo tunnels, moss-covered rocks, the sound of the river far below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glimpses of Mountains Getting Closer<\/strong>: This day felt special because every now and then, through cracks in the forest, I caught glimpses of the snow peaks.
That feeling \u2014 \u201cI\u2019m getting closer\u2026 it\u2019s happening fast\u201d<\/em> \u2014 filled me with adrenaline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch at Bamboo<\/strong>: We reached Bamboo<\/strong> and had lunch surrounded by forest, waterfalls, and wet stone paths. Then the trail turned uphill again \u2014 long but comforting because the environment was so peaceful, birds chirping, water flowing beside us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterfall Temple & Surreal Vibes<\/strong>: Somewhere on the way, we came across a small temple near a massive waterfall<\/strong>. The air was cold and fresh, and the moment felt almost spiritual \u2014 like the mountains were blessing us before letting us enter deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching Himalaya & Then Deurali<\/strong>: The trails after Himalaya were narrower, dramatic, and filled with waterfalls falling from cliffs. The forests slowly thinned, and the mountains felt closer than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reached Deurali at 3:45 PM<\/strong>, tired but inspired.
Day 2 was quieter, more scenic, and emotionally warmer  a slow realization that I was walking into the Himalaya\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 3 \u2014 Deurali to ABC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This was the<\/em> day. The best day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started at 8 AM<\/strong>, surrounded by mountains in every direction. The trail followed the river, parts of it frozen, and the cold air made every breath feel fresher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching MBC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We reached Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC)<\/strong> and took a break. Standing there, with Machhapuchhre towering behind me, I felt a surge of joy. The sky was open, the mountains were shining, and my excitement was at its peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Walk to ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Himalayanwalkers\/Odyssey<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The stretch from MBC to ABC was magical \u2014 vast open plains, snow around the trail, and the mountains rising higher with every step.
We met so many friendly trekkers along the way, people from different countries, all sharing the same excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we finally reached Annapurna Base Camp at 1 PM<\/strong>, it didn\u2019t feel real.
ABC felt like heaven surrounded by mountains on all sides<\/strong> \u2014 Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Annapurna I, and Machhapuchhre guarding the bowl of snow and clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We watched the sunset turn the whole place golden. All the cold, pain, uphill and downhill vanished.
Day 3 was unforgettable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 4 \u2014 ABC to Upper Sinuwa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I woke up early to enjoy the sunrise<\/strong> \u2014 golden rays hitting the snow walls, everything glowing and calm.
I even climbed a little higher up the old trail, breathing in the thin cold air, trying to remember everything with my heart and not just my eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started descending around 11 AM<\/strong>. It was a long walk back, but I felt lighter \u2014 emotionally full, physically relaxed. We sang songs along the trail, laughed, used our torches near the end, and reached Upper Sinuwa at 5:30 PM<\/strong>, just as the evening turned to dusk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY 5 \u2014 Upper Sinuwa to Pokhara<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We started at 7:30 AM<\/strong>, reached the Jeep point around 1 PM<\/strong>, and again waited because of mules coming across the bridge \u2014 just like Day 1.
By 3 PM<\/strong>, we were back in Pokhara, tired but deeply fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion \u2014 A Trek That Changed Something Inside Me<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Himalayanwalkers\/blog-sunshine-ABC\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The ABC trek wasn\u2019t just about reaching a base camp \u2014 it was about the process<\/em>. The uphill struggles, the fog, the forests, the rivers, the cold, the warmth of tea houses, the random conversations with strangers, the views that made me stop walking\u2026 everything felt personal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went with my friends, but I also discovered something about myself:
I\u2019m capable of more than I thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC felt like a dream, but also like a reminder  that mountains don\u2019t just show you views,
they show you yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as I left Pokhara, I knew one thing clearly:
I\u2019ll return to the Himalayas again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
