Nepal ABC Trek: Food, Accommodation, Transportation, and Everything Else

The ABC (Annapurna Base Camp) trekking route goes from Jhinu to ABC and back. However, due to road construction, you need to walk an extra 1.4 km or so on the mountain road before reaching Jhinu, and the same applies to the return trip. 🏠 Major accommodation points along the way: Jhinu-Chhomrong-Sinuwa-Bamboo-Dovan-Himalaya-Deurali-MBC-ABC You can call to book beds and meals, or book when you arrive. If there are no beds available during the peak season, you may have to sleep in the restaurant. See picture 18 for all guesthouse contact information. 🚶‍♀️ My itinerary: Day 1️⃣ Jhinu-Chhomrong-Upper Sinuwa, stay at Sinuwa Lodge & Restaurant (Four Peaks Viewing Platform) Day 2️⃣ Upper Sinuwa-Bamboo-Dovan-Himalaya-Deurali, stay at Deurali Guest House & Restaurant (delicious sandwiches) Day 3️⃣ Deurali-MBC-ABC, stay at Hotel Paradise Garden & Restaurant (close to the sunrise golden mountain viewing point) Day 4️⃣ ABC-MBC-Deurali-Himalaya-Dovan-Bamboo, stay at Eco Friendly Lodge & Restaurant (the quilt smells bad, power is limited, not recommended) Day 5️⃣ Bamboo-Sinuwa-Chhomrong-Jhinu It doesn't feel tiring to walk, but eating and showering are more uncomfortable. In addition to the 360º panoramic snow-capped mountains of ABC, I personally think that the section of road from Upper Sinuwa to Dovan is the most beautiful. The shade of the trees is lush and cool, and the alpine azaleas reflect the Fish Tail Peak, making it very comfortable to walk. 🍱 Dining: All guesthouse menus are almost the same. I personally think the following are more delicious: Chicken chili and special breakfast set at Sinuwa Lodge & Restaurant Pizza at Himalaya Guest House & Restaurant Egg veg sandwich with cheese at Deurali Guest House & Restaurant Grilled chicken at New Chhomrong Guest House & Restaurant I don’t like the others very much. If it doesn’t work, you can order Shin Ramyun, which is available in every restaurant. Drinks: Lemonade at Green View Lodge & Resaurant in Jhinu and organic black tea at New Chhomrong Guest House & Restaurant, and iced coffee at Cafe Himalaya. In addition, it is recommended to bring some jerky. There is no meat to eat from Banboo upwards. Only fried noodles, fried rice, and sandwiches will have some tuna. It is really uncomfortable not to be able to eat meat when climbing a mountain. Bottled water is not sold on the mountain. You have to pay for hot and cold water. In addition to a thermos, it is recommended to bring a large mineral water bottle. Charging/showering/Wi-Fi all cost money (about NPR 300). 👕 Clothing: In late April, quick-drying clothes and thin pants are sufficient for climbing. It is colder in the morning and evening, so it is recommended to bring a windbreaker/fleece jacket/quick-drying clothes/thin down jacket/windbreaker pants/fleece pants/thin gloves/sun hat/woolen hat/sunglasses. You need a sleeping bag in Deurali and ABC, but not in other places. It is best to bring hand warmers, which can be used for sleeping and watching the sunrise.
