One week ago, I completed the ABC trek with a friend and I thought to share it with you guys. This might help people who are planning the ABC trek from the month of October-December & March-April.
So, let’s start. Depending upon the time you have allocated, the trekking can be completed in 4 to 5 days **from** **Pokhara**. For slow walkers like me, it will take 5D4N, but for good trekkers, it will take 4D3N. So, I am gonna break it down into two different categories:
1. 5D4N
**Day 1: PKR to Upper Sinuwa** (Take a jeep from Harichowk at 6-7 am and it will drop you at Jhinu Pul after like 2.5 hrs and start your trek. You can have lunch at Chommrong and you will reach Upper Sinuwa around 5 pm in the evening. Difficulty level: Very Hard)
**Day 2: Upper Sinuwa to Deurali** (Start your trek early in the morning at around 6-7 am after having breakfast. You can have lunch at Dovan, Khaja at Himalaya, and reach Deurali at around 5-6 pm. Difficulty level: Very Hard)
**Day 3: Deurali to ABC** (Start your trek at around 7-8 am, you will reach MBC by 11 am. Have lunch there and after taking a short break, head for ABC. Also, remember to charge all your devices at MBC. You will reach ABC by 3 pm. Few people were seen to have difficulty in walking, which might be due to altitude sickness. Enjoy the evening there, it’s absolutely breathtaking. Difficulty level: Hard)
**Day 4: ABC to Lower Sinuwa** (Wake up early before 6 am to take shots of sunrise and all. After having breakfast, you can head back at around 8-9 am. Have lunch at Himalaya, Khaja at Bamboo and you will reach Lower Sinuwa at around 6 pm. Difficulty level: Hard)
**Day 5: Lower Sinuwa to PKR** (Begin at around 7 am, have lunch at Jhinu, then take a jeep back to PKR Difficulty level: Hard)
2. 4D3N
**Day 1: PKR to Bamboo**
**Day 2: Bamboo to MBC**
**Day 3: MBC to ABC** (early at 4 am) **and Back to Upper Sinuwa**
**Day 4: Upper Sinuwa to PKR**
Here are the names of the main Stations:
**Jhinu-Chommrong-Lower Sinuwa-Upper Sinuwa-Bamboo-Dovan-Himalaya-Deurali-MBC-ABC.**
Some important notes:
* Take medicines with you: Nims, Paracetamol, Sinex, Altitude tablets, Diarrhoea tablets, Moov spray, gastritis tablets.
* A raincoat is a must (preferably a plastic raincoat Rs. 250).
* Take thermos (1L-1.5L)
* Toilet paper is a must at high altitudes because the water gets frozen sometimes.
* You can take trekking sticks from lakeside shops, as they rent them at around Rs. 50-100 per day.
* Proper trekking bags, shoes, trousers, socks, breathable t-shirts, one thin windcheater, and a down jacket.
* Do not forget to book hotels.
* Lastly, **DO NOT LITTER.**
If you have any other queries I’ll try my best to sort it out in the comment section. Thank you.

Kati jana janu vathyo..total kharcha kati jati lagxa?
Like to add up to it…make sure to bargain…this trek is extremely overpriced for no fucking reason…they be charging tourist price to us…even in chomrung it cost 250 for 2 piece of bread which is like 2hr walk from jhinu… neither they paying well to those potters…u can easily save up 2-3k by bargaining..;)
Thank you so much for your guide! We are planning this trek in the beginning of december. How cold was it now during the night, as we read about extreme temperatures in december? And would you recommend an organization or going only with a guide? We thought we book everything once we arrive in kathmandu.
I’m gonna save this post. Please don’t delete it. And thank you for the guide, this will definitely help me.
