Description
Experience the glorious trek to Annapurna Base Camp, one of Nepal's classic short treks among spectacular high peaks, reaching an altitude of 4130m/13549ft!
Trekking in the Annapurnas is the one thing everyone aspires to when they visit Nepal.
For those who may feel some of the other regions are too strenuous a trek, the Annapurnas have everything from mountains to forests and culture. Whether you are traveling with children, are a bit on the older side yourself, are an experienced trekker, or are a newbie, the Annapurna region has something for you. Ranging from a three —or four-day trek to around two weeks, you can choose which trek suits you best.
Also, with the Annapurnas, you don’t need to trek for days until you feel like you are in the mountains. Even while sitting in Pokhara preparing for your trek, you get close-up views of the mountains, particularly Fishtail (Machhapuchhare). From day one, you are there, in the mountains.
One of the most popular treks is to Annapurna Base Camp. Here, you get to explore not just one but two base camps: Annapurna and Machhapucchre base camp. Like all the Annapurna treks, you pass through villages inhabited by Gurung people. Those are the people whose tough abilities saw them recruited into the Indian and British armies and as private security guards around the world. And they are very friendly and personable, too.
The landscape varies – from the hot water pools at Jhinu Danda, the mighty Modi Khola River, and pine and rhododendron forests to the high mountains. At both base camps, the views of Machhapucchre with its unique fishtail shape, Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and Annapurna III are astounding. Other mountains are also on display, but there are too many to mention! Just a 360-degree panorama of the wonderful mountains – who could ask for more?
The trek’s highest point is Annapurna Base Camp, 4,130 m / 13,549 ft. Since there is only one night at high altitude on this eight-day, all-season trek, there is relatively less chance of altitude-related illnesses.
Starting and ending at Pokhara (we provide transport from/ to Kathmandu in our itinerary), this is an enviable trek full of fabulous flora and fauna, majestic mountains, friendly people, and fun and relaxation by the lake in Pokhara.
