Annapurna Base Camp trek is a legendary classic trekking in Nepal and is suitable for both experienced and first time trekkers. This legendary trek is situated at the northern part of central Nepal. It lies inside the Annapurna Conservation Area and takes you to an elevation of 4130m at the lap of world’s 10th highest mountain, Annapurna I. The trek is well surrounded by majestic peaks and ranges of Annapurna I, II, III, IV and Annapurna South, Hiuchuli, Gangapurna, Mt. Fishtail and many more.
This 12 day Annapurna base camp trek offers an amazing taste of Himalayan trekking in Nepal. It is a moderate trek full of adventures, scenery and experiences. It offers breath taking views of Annapurna massif, its glaciers, landscapes, vegetations and rich bio diversity. Besides that, the trail passes through various settlements and villages of Gurung and Magar. They have their own culture and tradition which will be a new thing to see and experience. They have their own unique lifestyle. The trail goes along the Modi Khola inside the dense forest of lush rhododendron trees, bamboo and alpine trees.
The best time for this trek is during the spring season (March-May) and autumn (Oct-Dec). A large number of trekkers include this trek in their holidays for an exciting adventure and experience in the Himalayas of Nepal. It will be an unforgettable memory walking up to the base camp gathering memories and experiences in the Himalayas. The trek doesn’t require an advanced physical fitness level. It can also be included in family vacation and holidays with kids. We strongly believe it will not be as hard as you think up to the base camp.
