Overview of Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek, also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, is a breathtaking 14-day adventure that takes you deep into the heart of the Himalayas. This trek follows the Modi Khola River Valley, leading you through lush forests, charming villages, and terraced fields. If you're looking for an incredible experience of trekking in Nepal, this journey is a must.

Surrounded by a spectacular ring of eight towering peaks above 7,000 meters, the base camp offers awe-inspiring views of Annapurna South, Machapuchare, Hiunchuli, and more. As you ascend, the landscape transforms from dense rhododendron forests to alpine meadows and finally to the glacial sanctuary of Annapurna.

The Annapurna Region is not just about breathtaking scenery—it is also rich in culture. Along the way, you’ll pass through traditional villages inhabited by Brahmins, Chettris, Newars, Gurungs, Magars, Manangis, and Tibetans, each with their own unique customs and traditions.

Spring is one of the best seasons to trek in Nepal, and both the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and the Annapurna Circuit are among the best spring treks in Nepal. The trails are lined with blooming rhododendron forests, and the weather is ideal for trekking, offering clear mountain views and a pleasant climate.

    Great experience I did the Annapurna base camp trekking. It was amazing experience. Our Guides Pemba and Wongchu where taking very good care of us. The amount of trekking each day was not that challenging, so we could enjoy all the views, as we where very lucky with the weather.
