Tour Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world. The 14 days trek has a stunning blend of majestic Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Himalaya range scenery and pristine culture unparalleled by any other trekking region in Nepal. This 14 days journey starts from a lowland area with rice terraces, and eventually goes deep into the huge Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massif. The Base Camp walking trail takes you through ancient settlements of the ethnic communities of Magar, Gurung, and Thakalis. You will also get a chance to explore the amazing flora and fauna of this region. The warm hospitality of the local people in this region will make you feel at home. As we follow the trekking route gradually uphill, we get to enjoy stunning views of Himchuli and Mt Annapurna South mountains. This trek offers you magnificent all-round views of the Annapurna range. Of course, the ABC trek is going to be a lot more enjoyable if you travel in the spring because the whole rhododendron forest on the trail turns red and pink-white with shrub flowers. However, It will be possible to trek in the Annapurna Base Camp all around the year. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be most favorable in the time of the spring season. The trail during spring guarantees a display of the stunning rhododendron forests in bloom with red, white, pink flowers.

Valentina

Satisfying Trek

09-Oct-2019

We trekked for 6-8 hours a day and covered the route. Trekking days were the most challenging. It's a very scenic trekking route and because of its popularity, the facilities along the way were pretty good and more than what I expected such as Teahouses with Wi-Fi, western food and hot showers. Come prepared for steps; there are tons of them.

Josephine

Family Trek to Annapurna Base Camp

11-Sep-2019

Annapurna base camp trek is wonderful experience for me and my kids. I am certain my kids are left with memories they will always treasure. No words or photos can describe the hiking days we spent during the Annapurna Base Camp trek and back. It was awesome, it was incredibly hard for my kids but they forgot the hardship quickly as soon as they gazed up to the peaks.

Kayden
