Annapurna Base Camp Trek is hands-down the most popular trekking destination in Nepal. This trek is considered to be relatively easier and shorter in the distance when it comes to high altitude treks in Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is simply a stunning trekking experience in the most alluring Himalayan destination of Nepal.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the finest adventure holidays into the inner sanctuary of the Annapurnas. The trek offers diverse cultures and traditions of the indigenous people along with the ever-changing landscapes and wildlife. The journey to the foothills of Mt. Annapurna (8,091m) traverses across the world’s deepest gorge, Kali Gandaki and is accompanied by Himalayan massifs including Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna throughout the trek. This classical trek winds up through the authentic Gurung villages, dense rhododendron forests, terraced fields, wide subtropical valleys, and picturesque landscapes.

Another major attraction of this adventure is the visit to the classic Himalayan vantage point at Poon Hill. The golden sunrise behind the amphitheater of the giant peaks is simply awe-inspiring. Commencing the adventure at 910m at Pokhara, you will walk through the ever-changing terrains to reach Annapurna Base Camp at the elevation of 4,130m. Along the way, you will also be passing through the foothills of another iconic massif, Mt. Machhapuchhre. Therefore, you will be traveling across two different base camp on a single trip. Further, you will also encounter the hot spring at Jhinu to heal and relax your aching muscles.
