Tour Details

Nepal Highlights with Annapurna Base Camp is one of the preferred trekking destinations in Nepal. Many trekkers from all around the world consider the Annapurna Base Camp Trek to be the best epicenter. Naturally, Annapurna has a higher glacier basin that is located 40 kilometers directly to the north of Pokhara. Over 4,000 meters high, the plateau has an oval form. Additionally, it has stunning mountains with snow-capped peaks all around it.  Annapurna Base Camp offers breathtaking views of the Fishtail, Hiunchuli, Annapurna Massif, Dhaulagiri, Tiricho, Pisan, and Pungda Danda. Only 7 hours of sunlight are available to the Annapurna throughout the summer. A strange blend of depths and heights can be highly memorable.

Since you trek inside the Annapurna Conservation Area, the ABC Trek is also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. The Gurung and Magar settlements, as well as a variety of plants and animals, may be found in the Annapurna Sanctuary, which is encircled by the Annapurna peaks. The sanctuary has a healthy Himalayan environment with drier regions because of its distinctive topography.
