Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Make an extraordinary adventure with the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most popular trekking packages, captivating both experienced and seasoned travelers alike. Attracting almost 70,000 trekkers annually, this journey unveils a mesmerizing blend of breathtaking mountain panoramas, rich biodiversity, and cultural diversity unparalleled by any other trek in Nepal. Nestled in the embrace of mighty peaks—Machapuchhare (6,993m/22,943ft), Annapurna I (8,091m/26,505ft), and Hiunchuli (6,441m/21,131ft)—ABC is a small sanctuary, an adventurer’s haven.

Your adventure starts off in the enchanting city of Pokhara. A scenic 2-hour drive takes you to Nayapul, the trek’s starting point. From here, the journey begins which leads you to Ghandruk, where a panoramic spectacle of the Annapurna mountain range awaits, stretching from east to west. Beyond Ghandruk, the path winds through the Gurung village of Chomrong, offering encounters with rare wildlife like white-breasted kingfishers and musk deer in lush green forests adorned with rhododendron, pine, and bamboo.

You’ll immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of local ethnic groups, including Gurung, Magar, Thakali, and Lama. This cultural mosaic enriches the journey, providing glimpses into the traditions and lifestyles of these vibrant communities

While you are in Chomorong it offers you a  short trip to the Hot Spring which is quite a refreshing place for travelers. The path then leads to Dovan, followed by a traverse high above the river to reach Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). The final ascent leads to the pinnacle of the journey, Annapurna Base Camp (4,135m), where an unparalleled panorama of snow-capped peaks unfolds, leaving trekkers awe-inspired.

Your journey awaits!
