The Annapurna-Base-Camp-Trek (ABC) is one of the most famous trekking experiences in Nepal. It is an incredible walk with a distinctive landscape and culture, filled with amazing peak views, terraced fields, quaint Gurung villages, and a broad range of vegetation and animals. Mt. Annapurna (8091m) is the tenth tallest peak in the planet, and the hike to its base camp, which sits at an elevation of 4130m/1354ft, is one of the best treks in Nepal. Furthermore, we reach our location via Mt. Machhapuchhare (Fishtail), which is revered by the Nepalese for its different beauty. Thanks to the well-groomed itinerary of the Annapurna-Base-Camp-Trek package, it is a famous option amidst diverse outdoor fanatics and hikers traveling in groups in Nepal provided by Binjuli Adventure.
Our Annapurna-Base-Camp-Trek itinerary comprises 10-11 days, that is shorter in comparison to most treks in this region for globetrotters who wish to trek to the base camp of the magnificent mountain but are limited by time. For those who might feel few of the other regions are also strenuous a trek, the Annapurnas have all things from the peaks to jungles and culture. On the other hand, with the Annapurnas, you are not required to trek for days until you feel like you are in the mountains. Even at the time sitting in Pokhara preparing for your trek, you get close-up vistas of the peaks, significantly Fishtail (Machapuchare).
From day one, you are there, in the mountains. One of the most famous treks to Annapurna Base Camp. Here you get to discover not just one but two base camps: Annapurna and Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Like all the Annapurna treks, you cross villages inhabited by Gurung people. Those are the people whose tough capabilities see them hired into the Indian and British armies and as private security guards all over the globe. And they are very friendly and personable also. The landscape is diverse – from the hot water pools at Jhinu Danda, the mighty Modi Khola river, pine and rhododendron jungels to the high peaks. At both base camps, the vistas of Machhapuchhre through its different fishtail shape, Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, and Annapurna III are amazing.
There are other peaks on display too, so many to mention! Just a 360-degree panorama of the beautiful mountains – who could ask for more? With the trek’s highest point being at Annapurna Base Camp, 4,130m /13,549ft, there is just one night at high elevation, so there is proportionately less possibility of altitude-linked illnesses on this all-season, eight-day trek. Beginning and ending at Pokhara (we offer transport from / to Kathmandu in our itinerary), this is a beautiful trek filled with amazing flora and fauna, majestic peaks, friendly people, and fun and relaxation by the lake in Pokhara.
