ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREK
ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREK
One of the most popular treks in Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, better known as the ABC Trek, draws quite a crowd. Taking off from the enchanting Pokhara valley, the trek takes you through some amazing landscapes, rhododendron forests, lush bamboo groves, terraced hillsides right up to the pristine high mountains.
THE POPULAR ABC TREK
The Base Camp lying at the foot of the Annapurna massif is reached after traversing through a rapidly changing landscape as you climb higher and higher from the rich green valley shrouded in seasonal vegetation to the arid landscape of the high mountains. The Annapurna Sanctuary is a gigantic amphitheater facing giant peaks at close proximity. 4,130 m above sea level, the sanctuary enjoys a spectacular 360 view of 13 peaks that make up the Annapurna massif. This obviously is the highlight of the trek. But even from Day One of the trek, the great peaks, Machapuchare (6,993m), the Annapurna III (7,555m), the Annapurna II (7,937m) and the Annapurna IV (7,525m) keep coming into view, building up excitement as the trek progresses.
Along the way are the hot springs at Jhinu Danda, delightful little Gurung villages embraced by terraced hillsides, hidden trails in the heart of a gigantic bamboo plantation and a forest of rhododendrons. This trek offers all the pleasures one can derive from a walk in the Nepalese Himalaya.- The Annapurna Sanctuary at 4130 m.
- Trekking from the low paddy fields to the heart of the Himalayan glaciers.
- An approach to the very high mountain in just 14 days.
- Homestay overnight in Luwang, an authentic Gurung village.
