Annapurna Base camp Trekking is one of the most beautiful treks that combine easy walking with majestic scenery and a mix of cultures unmatched by any other trek in Nepal. There are many different ethnic groups along the trail, but the predominant people in this area are the Gurungs.together with the Magar and Chetrie people, the Gurungs are famous as soldiers in the British Army, better known as Gurkhas.
Along the trail the views of Machapuchare and the Annapurnas are magnificent. The various trails from which we can choose lead us towards such Himalayan giants as Dhaulagiri (8167m), Annapurna II (7937m.) and Machapuchare (6993m). Climbing higher, the winding trail passes through magnificent forests of oak and rhododendron that line the southern foothills of the Himalaya. The terrain varies from sub-tropical valleys with banana trees and rice paddies to high ridges clad in thick rhododendron forest. In January and February, these may well be covered in snow, while during March and April they will be a blaze of red rhododendron flowers.
Very famous viewpoint from Poon Hill fantastic sunrise and 360 deg view of all the Annapurna Range including Annapurna South (7272m) Annapurna I (8091m) with imposing views of the Mt. Dhaulagiri(8167m). After Dovan walking through the alpine meadow and breathtaking views of mountains. Once arrived at Annapurna Base Camp, we will be surrounded by snowcapped mountain sanctuary. The altitudes of this trek between about 915m at Pokhara to approx.4200m at Annapurna, going up and down will test the best pair of knees. The secret is, take it slowly.
