Annapurna Base Camp, Nepal


There are few treks that combine so many different landscapes and bring you so close to the base of 7,000 and 8,000 meter peaks in a such a short period of time as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region. The trail goes alongside terraced rice paddies, lush rhododendron forests and high altitude landscapes with the Annapurna Range in view most of the times.

 The setting of Annapurna Base Camp at 4130 m is unique and incredibly spectacular, set amidst the majestic peaks of Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Machapuchhre (6993 m) and Hiunchuli (6441 m). The Annapurna Base Camp Trek takes 7 to 12 days, depending on your itinerary and length of walking days. The itinerary presented here takes 12 days, starting from Nayapul (a 1 1/2 hour drive from Pokhara) and going north up to Ghorepani and the famous viewpoint at Poon Hill. From Ghorepani you go eastward to Chomrong and then north again entering the Modi Kola Valley which leads up to the Base Camp.

Spending overnights at lavish and comfortable hotels in Khumbu region as well as in Kathmandu and looking at the magnificent sights of grand mountain Everest along with other enormous peaks Ama Dablam, Kongde, Thamserku etc. are the main attractions of Everest Base Camp Trek. Besides, you can also visit Sagarmatha national park enlisted in the UNESCO Natural Heritage list, the world highest monastery at Tengboche, budding rhododendron forest etc. are other charm of this trekking track.
