Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC - 4130 M)
Annapurna Sanctuary - You will gradually reach the highest altitude of 4,130 m during the trek. At this altitude, the valley area broadens, and snow peaks will surround you. As altitude increases, it might be more difficult than usual, but the distance is shorter. You will have a long lunch break at Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) base camp. You can take it slow and steady by having this long lunch break. You will climb another hour to Annapurna Base Camp.

Stay overnight at the guesthouse in Bamboo.
Bamboo to Jhinu Hill (1778 M)
Jhinu Danda Hot spring - Today, we will follow the same trail until Chhomrong. We come back to the villages with terrace farms and schools. From the village, the trail then descends very steeply to the Jhinu hot spring, where you can bathe in the natural hot spring. It is said that Jhinu has natural healing properties due to the minerals in the naturally sprouting water. The day’s walk is just about 4 hours, so we have enough time to go and relax in the hot spring or use the extra time to leisurely walk back from the base camp. Overnight stay at the guesthouse in Jhinu.
