Description

Embark on a 5-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Experience breathtaking mountain views, rich cultural landscapes, Nepalese ethnic culture and the serene beauty of the Himalayas.
Begin your journey in Pokhara, a charming town at the foot of the Annapurna and Machhapuchchhre mountains. Before departing, take some time to soak up the town's tranquil atmosphere while admiring the splendid views of the Annapurnas and Machapuchare (Fish Tail). Then, head to Jhinu Danda via Nayapul, where you'll begin your trek.

On the first day, trek through rice paddies and Gurung villages, along the banks of the Modi Khola, to reach Chhomrong. On the second day, descend and continue through lush green forests before arriving at the Himalaya Hotel, then follow alpine landscapes.

Continue to Annapurna Base Camp, located at an altitude of 4,130 meters, at the foot of the impressive Annapurna massif. Pass through rhododendron forests, over suspension bridges, and through traditional villages, while gradually acclimatizing to the altitude.

Arriving at Annapurna Base Camp is an unforgettable experience. From this vantage point, enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic peaks of the Annapurna, Annapurna South, Machapuchare ranges, Himchuli, and Gangapurna. The scenery is breathtaking, with snow-capped peaks towering over the lush green valleys below. Take time to rest, take photos, and enjoy the serenity of the place.

After visiting Annapurna and Machhapuchchhre base camp, return to Pokhara, crossing varied landscapes, from mountains to terraced rice paddies.
