When you are walking towards Annapurna Base Camp Trek (ABC), one of the most important and beautiful resting places on the route is Sinuwa. This small village lies on the way after Chhomrong and before Bamboo, at an altitude of around 2,340 meters. It is a quiet and peaceful spot surrounded by green hills, terraced farms, and forests. Trekkers often feel happy to stop here because Sinuwa is less crowded, offers good tea houses, and gives stunning views of the Himalayas.
Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we always include Sinuwa in our carefully planned itineraries for Annapurna Base Camp Treks. Many of our clients remember Sinuwa as one of the most relaxing overnight stays during the journey.
Why Sinuwa is Important on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek
For trekkers, Sinuwa plays a big role in the Annapurna trekking route. After a steep climb from Chhomrong, you reach Sinuwa, where the trail becomes quieter and more natural. From here, the path enters dense forests of bamboo, oak, and rhododendron that lead you towards Bamboo, Dovan, and eventually Machapuchare Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp.
Sinuwa is also an important place for acclimatization. Staying here gives your body time to adjust to the altitude before you climb higher. Our guides at Nature Heaven Treks always suggest resting here properly, drinking enough water, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings before continuing the trek.
Sinuwa is known for its teahouses and lodges, which are simple but very comfortable. Most lodges offer private or shared rooms with warm blankets, basic bathrooms, and cozy dining halls where trekkers gather to eat and share stories. The food menu is quite good, with options like dal bhat (traditional Nepali meal), fried rice, noodles, pasta, soup, and sometimes even pizza.
Because of its location on the ABC route, many trekkers prefer to stop here for both lunch and overnight stay. Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition works closely with the local teahouse owners to provide our guests with the best available rooms, hygienic meals, and warm hospitality.
From Sinuwa, you can see dramatic landscapes that combine both farming terraces and thick forests. In clear weather, you might also catch glimpses of Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain) and surrounding peaks. The walk to and from Sinuwa takes you through charming stone steps, suspension bridges, and green valleys, making it one of the most enjoyable parts of the trek.
The peaceful environment of Sinuwa allows trekkers to relax, recharge, and truly feel connected with nature. It’s a perfect spot to take photographs, sip a warm cup of tea, and enjoy the silence of the Himalayas before moving towards higher camps.
Nature Heaven Treks and Expedition, we believe that every stop on the trek should be memorable. In Sinuwa, our guides help you get the best lodge, make sure your meals are fresh and safe, and explain local culture and lifestyle. Many villagers here are Gurung people, known for their friendliness and tradition.
