Package Details

Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. It is a fairly easy and shorter walk than other high-altitude walks in Nepal. This hike incorporates diverse terrains, culture and wildlife. Along with the most spectacular and close view of the range of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli and Dhaulagiri. The Annapurna Base Camp shows you all the mountain ranges that are beautiful, colossal and covered with snow against the blue sky. Here, the air is pure and a hiker thrives in front of this impressive mountain range. The mountains are inextricably linked to you in the base camp and create such a unique environment. Only panoramic and scenic views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Annapurna South, Tent Peak, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, and Annapurna South are visible. Its beauty is indescribable; they beckon your attention, and all you can do is take photos with your camera as much as you want and as far as you can get to the base camp's corners.

It blooms with many beautiful flowers in the spring, including Nepal's national flower, the rhododendron. During the walk, you will be accompanied by orchids, the Machhapuchhre massif, and the Kali Gandaki's deepest gorge. You will notice high waterfalls along the way and will stop at the Ghandruk Museum to learn more about people of different ethnicities, particularly the Gurung community. The Annapurna base camp, located at 4130 meters above sea level, is unique and incredibly beautiful, surrounded by the majestic peaks of Annapurna South (7219 meters), Annapurna I (8091 meters), Hiunchuli (6441 meters), and Machapuchhre (6993 m). The Annapurna Base Camp Trek can take anywhere from 7 to 12 days to complete, depending on your itinerary and the length of your walking days.
