Country: Nepal
Duration: 8 days
Description
A unique trek on local trails, through forests, villages and farmland with unique mountain scenery, surrounded by huge glaciers providing you with an experience into the Nepalese life and culture.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the best treks to discover the mountain range, with the foremost spectacular mountain scenery, providing a desirable insight into the hill life of Nepal.
The Trek follows the Modi-river and passes through the dense undergrowth of rhododendron and bamboo. By the time you reach the massive rock overhanging, called Hinku Cave, you will notice that the vegetation has receded and the gorge narrowed to be only a couple of hundred meters wide.
Steep snow-covered ridges falling from Hiunchuli on the left and Machhapuchhre on the right from the doorway to the Sanctuary. As we go through the “gate” and enter to the Sanctuary, you will discover yourself in a very large amphitheatre encircled by a solid wall of natural covering peaks.
A vivid array of pinks in the rhododendron forests, swift-flowing rivers, suspension bridges, enchanting Buddhist temples, and amazing culturally rich villages perched on the sides of hills, wildlife, and sub-tropical valleys wedged between the monoliths of the Annapurna and Machapuchare (fishtail) ranges offer ever-changing views.
On the trail, you will see numerous chortens (Buddhist stone monuments), prayer flags, yaks grazing, bamboo and rhododendron forests, and the unique Tibetan style architecture of this region.
One of the main features of this trek is being exposed to the unique cultures of various villages and their enduring lifestyles high in the mountains, such as the Gurung, Tamang, Sherpa, Magar, and Thakali people. Many of these villages have age-old Buddhist and Hindu temples.
