Annapurna Base Camp Trekking



Annapurna Base Camp is one of the most famous treks in the Annapurna region: the scenery is spectacular; the natural beauty is vast, changing from lush jungle to rugged terrain; is a good introduction to higher altitudes without being too demanding; you will see and experience the unique life of the mountain people and their culture.

Annapurna Base Camp trek begins from Dhampus, a 45 minute scenic drive from Pokhara, where you will get your first great views of Annapurna South and Machhapuchhare.

On the Annapurna Base Camp trail you will get awesome views of the snow capped peaks of Dhaulagiri, 8167m, Nilgiri, 7041m, Machhapuchhare (Fishtail), 6998m, Annapurna I, 8091m, Annapurna II, 7939m, Annapurna III, 7555m, Annapurna IV, 7525m, Annapurna South, 7219m, Hiunchuli, 6441m, Lamjung Himal, 6986m, Tukuche Peak, 6920m and many more.

For the first few days, the Annapurna Base Camp trail winds through the villages, terraced fields and lush forests. Each day the vegetation thins out, plant life becomes sparser; the terrain becomes more rugged and finally snow covered. For the last five days before reaching Annapurna Base Camp you will no longer pass through villages of rosy cheeked children and weathered faced adults. The trail to Annapurna Base Camp, 4130m, follows the valley in between the huge rock walls of Himchuli and Machhapuchhre, eventually emerging into a natural amphitheater, where you are surrounded by the majestic mountains Machhapuchhare, Annapurna South, Himchuli, Gungapurna and Annapurna I towering almost vertically above you.

Nature lovers will enjoy the great variety of wild life such as musk deer, leopards, jackals, mountain thar, and birds such as pheasants, multi-coloured Impeyan, and kokla in the area, as well as the diversity of flora and fauna. You will also get to experience Nepal’s rich culture among the mountain tribes, Gurung, Magars and Thakalis.
