Description

Itinerary

Annapurna Base Camp is not only a trek, it’s a tradition. Located in the vicinity of the Annapurna Conservation area, this trek takes us to the west of Kathmandu. Trekking in the foothill of the Annapurna Massif, trekkers can enjoy the view of the mystic peaks of the western Himalayas including the great Annapurna Range, Mt. Macchapuchhre (6,993m), Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m) and many others. The view of the rivers flowing down these numinous peaks and the deep Rhododendron, oak and bamboo forests are something to look for.

As we trek through the diverse landscape we will pass through several villages and get a chance to observe their culture and lifestyle. The forest provides us shade and the pleasant walk through the open grassland and meadow while gazing upon the huge eloquent mountain peaks feel the heart with ecstasy like no other. By the time we reach the Annapurna Base camp (4,130m) we will be endowed with the blessing of nature and culture like never before.

  • We start off early and walk up and down the rocky trails. From there, we will come across a wide grassy land that continues for miles. The mountains look shiny and highlighted from the distance. Their peak looks glittering with sunlight. It’s a peaceful walk until alongside the river until we reach a long staircase to Macchapuchhre Base camp. It’s a good place to enjoy the great fishtail mountain which looks huge from up close. After resting for a while we slowly walk towards Annapurna Base camp. 8 hours of walk. BLD included.
  • Early morning, the view of the sunrise reflecting upon the Annapurna ranges is a sight to behold. We take our breakfast and walk back the way we came. It’s downhill so the trek becomes easier.
