Annapurna Base Camp Trek |15 Days

Trip Highlights

Walking through diverse terrain of farmlands and moraine, this trek rewards you with fabulous close up of the south face of Annapurna. While at the base camp you will also experience some of the most dazzling sunsets in Nepal.

Trip Overview

The Annapurna Himal is a vast massif with several peaks above 7000m. Part of the range forms a natural amphitheatre known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, ringed by such giants as Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna,Annapurna Fang and Machhapuchhare (Mt.Fish Tail). On this trek, one of our most popular Nepal trekking tours, we pass through forested hillsides to Ghorepani where we ascend Poon Hill for a magnificent panoramic sunrise of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri. Entering a Annapurna base camp trek, we pass directly below Machhapuchhare before reaching the Sanctuary, a veritable home of the Gods. We have a day to explore this magnificent place before returning to Pokhara via a different route. This is a fairly strenuous alpine trek offering close-up mountain views equal to any in the Himalayas.
