Annapurna Base Camp ......................... #CS

Mount Everest

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.
