How fit do I need to be to do this trek?

Annapurna Base Camp is a Grade B or a moderately difficult trekking route. So any fit person can do this trek, even if you do not have any previous experience. You should be aware of what to expect and mentally prepare for it. Then, as long as you will too, you can.

How long do we walk every day when doing Annapurna Base Camp trekking?

On average, you walk about 4 to 6 hours per day. One or two days can be as less as 3hrs and one or two days can be as long as 7hrs.

What is the highest altitude reached in this trek?

The highest altitude reached is 4190m. This is the elevation of Annapurna Base Camp. ABC is the highest we will climb in this trek.

What about battery charging and hot shower facilities?

Yes, you can charge batteries en route. Charger should be brought. There are hot shower facilities as well. You may have to pay a certain amount for both ($1-$2). Negotiate. Also, a hot water facility could be free at a lower elevation.

Are there ATMs on the way to Annapurna Base Camp?

No. There are no ATMs on this trek route. You will have to draw enough cash in Pokhara or Kathmandu. There are a number of ATMs in these cities. Everything is paid in Nepali rupees. So money should be exchanged before the start of the trek.

What about internet access?

Yes. The Internet can be accessed in most places. Sometimes, there might be some technical problems. The Internet in Nepal is not as fast as you are used to and at times you can just lose connection.

Is it necessary to hire Guides/trekking agency for Annapurna Base Camp trekking?

Not really. It depends on you. If you want, ABC trekking can be done independently. You could hire a guide and a porter by yourself instead of going through an agency or not hire a guide at all. Although, not having a guide can be a little problematic during the offseason. It really depends on you. Is it your first time in Nepal? How confident are you of being able to find your way around? How pressed on time are you? If you go through an agency, it will be costlier but everything will be planned. You will only have to come, trek and return.

How much do guides and porters cost?

For the Annapurna region, pay for guides range from $20 to $30 per day and porters take $15 to $25 per day.

Day 01 :

Arrival at Guwahati and Drive to Shillong

Assemble at Guwahati Airport
Group meets and introductions
Drive to Shillong, stopping by Umiam Lake
on the way
Check-in and evening walk at Police Bazar
Overnight stay in Shillong

The first day moves easy. Umiam Lake feels
almost endless with its quiet waters, and
reaching Shillong before sunset leaves enough
time to grab a coffee, stretch your legs in themarkets, and start feeling part of the group.

Day 02 :

Exploring Shillong

Breakfast at the hotel
Visit the cascading Elephant Falls
Drive up to Laitlum Canyon for valley views
Stroll through Lady Hydari Park
Drop by Don Bosco Museum for a glimpse into local cultures
Overnight stay in Shillong

The day blends movement with slow
moments. Elephant Falls thunders nearby,
while Laitlum Canyon opens into air and mist
that stretches far past the edges of the cliffs.
You’ll notice Shillong isn’t loud; it’s the quiet
kind of beautiful

Day 03 :

Shillong to Dawki via Mawlynnong

Morning drive to Mawlynnong Village, Asia’s cleanest village.
Walk through gardens, bamboo walkways, and tiny chapels.
Continue to Dawki River.
Boating on crystal-clear waters at Dawki.
Overnight stay near Dawki.

Villages like Mawlynnong don’t feel touristy.
They just feel well-loved. And Dawki’s river? You
won’t forget it. The boats look like they’re
floating on air. You’ll want to sit still for a whileand just watch the river move under you.

Day 04 :

Dawki to Cherrapunjee

Slow breakfast by the riverside
Drive towards Cherrapunjee
Visit the natural limestone caverns at Mawsmai Caves
Take in the wide views from Mawkodok Dympep Valley
Free time in Cherrapunjee town
Overnight stay in Cherrapunjee

Today, the landscape starts to change again—
cliffs rising sharper, valleys dropping deeper.
Inside Mawsmai Caves, the walls twist and
shine like the inside of a seashell. Outside, the
valleys seem to stretch forever

Day 05 :

Double Decker Living Root Bridge Trek

Early start to Tyrna Village
Begin the 3,000-step trek down to the Double Decker Living Root Bridge
Spend time exploring the natural bridges and waterfalls
Return climb to base village
Overnight stay in Cherrapunjee

No photo can prepare you for standing on a
bridge made from living roots. This trek isn’t
about speed—it’s about reaching a place built
by patience, grown over decades, holding
strong over running water.

Day 06 :

Cherrapunjee to Guwahati

Morning visit to Nohkalikai Falls viewpoint
Short hike to Wei Sawdong Waterfalls (multi-tier falls hidden deep in the forest)
Long drive back to Guwahati
Evening free for packing, small walks, or just resting
Overnight stay in Guwahati

Today’s waterfalls mark the trip's emotional
curve. Nohkalikai roars from a cliff like a silver
ribbon, while Wei Sawdong hides, layered and
quiet, deep among the trees. Then the road
starts pulling back toward the plains.

Day 07 :

Departure from Guwahati

Breakfast at the hotel
Transfer to Guwahati Airport
Trip ends

By now, it’s more than just a trip. You’ll know
some new faces, have river stones in your bag,
and maybe even have a few extra hill songs
stuck in your head.
