Tour Overview
Annapurna Region, where you step into for Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is not one of the best regions, but the region with the best trek that you can think of after Everest Base Camp Trek. With these, it has got all the aspects of the trek, such as hills, beauties, sub-tropical valley, glaciated alpine zone, hike, forest, sanctuary, and the base camps. If you think Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek is about the mountains and culture, then you have thought rightly, but what you do not know is its moderately easy trekking trails. What you see while trekking is the majestic scenery that will trace on your mind. This includes the view of Mt. Machapuchare (22,943 ft.), Mt. Dhaulagiri (26,794 ft.) and Mt. Annapurna South (26,545 ft.). These are just some of the few mountains. As you reach the base camps during the trek, you will see the number of mountains more than you have estimated, and what could be the happiest moment to you than this. Another happiness is when you spend a night in these mountains. This is once in a lifetime experience.
