Annapurna Base Camp Trek Overview
Annapurna Base Camp, located in the Annapurna region within the Annapurna Conservation Area. It is situated at a height of 4130 meters above sea level. Surrounded by the majestic peaks like Annapurna Sanctuary, Huchuli, and Machhapuchhre, Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers a once in a life time experience.
Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek is 14 days long. The trail starts and ends in Pokhara. The tracking route goes through villages like Birethanti, Tikhendunga, Ghorepani, Chhomrong, and others. Walk through the trails surrounded by rhododendron forests and a suspension bridge wrapped in colourful flags.
As you gain altitude, you will witness the millet terraces, orange groves, a waterfall, and streams. Above the height of 3000 meters, the treeline will be replaced by snow fields, and the views of towering peaks are much clearer.
Hike to Poon Hill (3,210m) offers breathtaking sunrise with 360 degree views over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Acclimatize and savour the hospitality of villagers at every stop.
