Annapurna Base Camp
Trek is an amazing way to experience the beauty of the Annapurna region
complete with high mountains, lush hills, rich local culture and a variety of
flora and fauna. Mt. Annapurna (8091m) is the 10th highest mountain in the
world and the journey to its base camp is one of the most popular treks on
earth. Like any other trip in the Annapurna region, our Annapurna Base Camp
Trek also begins in Pokhara, widely known as the ‘Lake City’ and passes through
cascading waterfalls, beautiful villages, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron
forests, and amazing mountain vistas before reaching the base of the mighty
Annapurna.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is
simply a walk to base camp of tenth highest Annapurna Mountain. This walk
defines nature, landscapes, Himalayas and local cultures at its best. Starting
and ending point is beautiful Pokhara city and everything done, seen and been
between those days can’t simply be explained in words. You must see it to
believe it.
In just around two weeks of
this Annapurna Sanctuary hiking adventure, get a chance to view excellent
panoramic views of Annapurnas, Machhapuchre, Dhaulagiri, Himchuli, Nilgiri and
other nearby snow capped Himalayas. In the similar passion, we also get deep
insights into local Gurung communities at beautiful Gurung villages. This
Annapurna Trek is also an opportunity to spot various flora and fauna like
Himalayan Thar, leopards, honey bee, different species of birds, rhododendron
and other floras.
Annapurna
Base Camp Trek Alternative Routes:
There
are few other routes at lower altitudes from Pokhara to connect at Chommrong.
Depending on which time and interest suits you best, you can choose either to
hike from Dhampus-> Ghandruk or Nayapul -> Tikhedunga. The trail is
however same from Chomrung onwards. Poon hill is a vantage point for the
view of Annapurna plus other peaks for sunrise and sunset. And we have included
it in our standard itinerary via Nayapul ->Tikhedhunga.
ABC
Trek is most popular hence well developed teahouse trekking where we stay
overnight at various locally owned teahouses. It also connects us with local
inhabitants. We interact with them and know their side of the story, their
lifestyle, cultures etc.
Another
attraction along this ABC route is natural hot spring at Jhinu danda. If we
spent overnight there, we will walk few minutes down at hot spring and dip
ourselves for a bath. Its relaxing! Best time being the autumn and spring
seasons, anyone with moderate fitness can be part of our next Annapurna Base
Camp trek adventure. See you soon at heart of Himalayas.
