Annapurna base camp trek is the most popular trek experience. It is quite a short and easy trek even though you reach up to 4200m. The Base Camp trek incorporates diverse landscapes, flora and fauna, and local Gurung culture. This trek goes alongside rice field terrain, lush Rhododendron forest, wildlife with beautiful Annapurna ranges, and Dhaulagiri ranges.
The Annapurna Base Camp trek is known as the Annapurna sanctuary encircled by high mountains including Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machepuchre/Fishtail (6,993m) Gangapurna (7,455m) Himchuli, Annapurna Fang, Annapurna South (7219m), and many more. There are a few different routes to reach Machapuchre and Annapurna Base Camp but we suggest via Ghorepani Poon Hill to avoid the high altitude sickness. Poon Hill is the vantage viewpoint of Annapurna and other peaks. Poon Hill is the perfect place to see Sunrise and Sunset. Starting from Nayapul is an extra advantage to all trekkers to avoid altitude sickness because it goes gradually up to Ghorepani and gradually down to Chumrung then again gradually up to Machapuchre Base Camp and Annapurna base camp. For more in detail please see the map and itinerary that we have produced by our experts.
