Description
The trek to Annapurna Base Camp (also known as Annapurna Sanctuary or ABC trek) is famous for its stunning landscape. After a drive from Pokhara, the trek begins among green hills, beautiful villages, and terraced farmlands. Through lush forests lined with rhododendron, we make our way up a spectactular valley lined by cliffs and cascading waterfalls. At the top of the valley, just at the entrance to Machhapuchhre Base Camp, we witness the birth of river Modi – melting out of glaciers on the side of the mountain slopes. At each turn, a new, closer view of the great Himalayan mountain ranges is visible, until we finally reach the Annapurna Basecamp, an awe-inspiring 360-degree panoramic viewpoint around which the main peaks of the western Annapurna massive (including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Gangapurna & Machhapuchhre) are arranged almost precisely in a circle of 10 miles in diameter. Across a deep glacier gorge at the center, you can see the spectacularly beautiful giant – Annapurna I (8091m). This is one of the best close encounters with the Himalayas within a short period of time with dramatic, breathtaking views you will never forget.
This trek passes through several traditional Gurung villages like Landruk, Chhomrong and Ghandruk, allowing you to witness traditional settlements and a different way of life among Nepal’s hills and mountains.
