Annapurna Sanctuary: Surrounded by giant mountains and a 360° Himalayan View
One of the most popular treks in Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, better known as the ABC Trek, draws quite a crowd. Starting from the Pokhara Valley, the trek takes you through amazing landscapes, rhododendron forests, lush bamboo groves, and terraced hillsides right up to the pristine high mountains.The Base Camp 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 arena facing giant peaks in proximity. 4,130 m above sea level, the sanctuary enjoys a spectacular 360 view of 13 peaks that make up the Annapurna massif. This 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. This trek offers all the pleasures one can derive from a walk in the Nepalese Himalayas.
