Annapurna 100 map and checkpoints

A mountain ultra that starts at Annapurna Base Camp, 4,130 m up, and runs downhill and over ridges to Damside Park in Pokhara.

2027 dates not announced yet, usually in September Annapurna region, Nepal

The Annapurna 100 was first run in 1995, with the cricketer Ian Botham pioneering it, and the organizer calls it Nepal's original ultra. It went into hibernation after Covid. By the time it came back in 2025, new roads and jeep tracks had made a trail course almost impossible, and that year's route measured 135 km. Only 5 of the 26 starters finished.

So the race was re-routed. The 2026 course starts at Annapurna Base Camp and finishes at Damside Park in Pokhara, roughly 100 km on trails and trekking paths with only the last part on road. This map marks that course's checkpoints. It was scheduled for 27 September 2026, and the 2027 date isn't out yet.

The organizer says you'll be able to follow the course on your GPS watch, but it publishes no course file, only a map image. Download the Goat Maps map with the checkpoints on it before you head up to the sanctuary: your phone's GPS shows where you are without a signal.

You start at Annapurna Base Camp and drop past Deurali and Bamboo to Chhomrong, then go by Jhinu Danda and Ghandruk to Landruk. From there it's Tolka, Pothana, Pitam Deurali and Australian Camp to Kande, then Bhadaure, Dhikur Pokhari, Nau Danda and Pame, the Katre Harpan Khola Bridge, Pumdikot and the World Peace Pagoda before the finish. The organizer puts it at about 100 to 105 km with 5,400 to 5,800 m of climbing and around 7,000 m of descent. Its elevation profile, which this page goes by, measures 97.7 km with 5,810 m up and 9,118 m down.

There are seven full checkpoints, with food, water, medical support and timing, and five water points with only water and electrolytes. The first leg, about 20 km from the start to Chhomrong, passes the Deurali and Bamboo water points. The organizer's estimated legs between checkpoints add up to more than the total, so the map shows the checkpoints without kilometer marks. CP6, the Katre Harpan Khola Bridge, isn't on it.

The draft cutoffs, which the organizer says may change after more testing, are 5 hours at Chhomrong, 10 at Landruk, 13 at Pitam Deurali, 18 at Kande, 21 at Nau Danda, 24 at the Katre Harpan Khola Bridge, 26 at Pumdikot and 28 to 30 at the finish.

Entry

The field is capped at 100 and places go first come, first served. You fill in the form on the race site with your nationality, age and three previous events. The organizer looks over your details and emails you a payment request. The fee is US$250 for runners from outside Nepal, and selected Nepali runners race free.

The organizer is clear that this is not an entry-level event: you run at altitude on mountain trails. Nepali runners in the first five win cash prizes, and every finisher gets a medal and certificate.

The race package and getting to the start

You can make your own way to Annapurna Base Camp or take the organizer's 14-day package, $850. It starts in Kathmandu, goes by coach to Pokhara and by bus to Ghandruk, then treks to the base camp over six days by way of Chhomrong, Bamboo, Deurali and Machapuchare Base Camp, with a rest day to acclimatize. The race is day 11, and you fly from Pokhara back to Kathmandu on day 13. The package covers your entry fee, the Annapurna trekking permit, hotels and meals, and porters to take your gear from the base camp to the finish in Pokhara.

Pokhara is about 200 km west of Kathmandu, and the flight takes around 30 minutes.

Weather and kit

September is wet in Pokhara. The airport's 1991 to 2020 normals give average highs of 29.9°C, lows of 21.1°C and 635 mm of rain over about 19 rainy days. The start is some 3,300 m higher than that, so plan for cold at the top and heat at the bottom.

The kit list is advisory, and nobody is disqualified for missing it, but the organizer strongly advises carrying at least 1 liter of water, a windproof or waterproof jacket, trousers or tights covering the knee, a fleece top, an emergency blanket, a buff or hat, a whistle, a head torch with spare batteries, 400 calories of food and Rs 2,000 in small change. It also recommends a phone with a local SIM. An ambulance stands by on the roads that reach the villages along the course.
