Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Overview

The 10th-highest mountain in the world is Annapurna, but we reach the foothills of Annapurna. It is popularly known as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. It lies in the western part of Kathmandu, mostly in terrain areas of snowcapped mountains and lush valleys at an altitude of 4130 m above sea level. The trek is famous for being quite demanding and less challenging because of its moderate accessibility. There are mainly two ways to be selected among the visitors: via flight to Pokhara or by tourist bus. A comparable tourist bus is the best option, going through the highlands with scenic valleys. The main attraction of this trek is to also summit Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Located at an altitude of 3,700 m, which is just 2.9 km away, it slopes steeply downward. The mountain has not yet been climbed because it is supposed to be sacred. The structure of a mountain is like the tail of a fish; therefore, the peak is not identical to the structure of all of the mountains

.We begin our trek from Kathmandu to Pokhara on the tourist bus. This is our ample opportunity to make contact with the entire panoramic perspective added to explore the hilly to Himalayan terrain. On the way to Annapurna Base Camp, the trek offers the genuine beauty of hidden panoramic views of the ridges. The harmonious villages of the Rai community and their attractively designed homes are on prominent display.

At the scheduled time of your landing at Kathmandu Tribhuvan Airport, our official members will be there to greet you and transfer you to your hotel. After refreshments, we will have a briefing about the tour and the next day's trekking. That concludes almost our day. If we had more time in a day, we would take an evening leisure walk in the streets of Thamel. Overnight in Kathmandu.

We have breakfast in the morning, and then our tour guide takes us to Kathmandu Dubar Square. The place is rich both historically and culturally and is listed as a World Heritage Site. Furthermore, we go to Pashupatinath Temple. The temple is the most beautiful attraction for every visitor on all sides. We follow our day tour and visit the Boudhanath Stupa and the Swayambhunath Stupa. The stupas are decorated with colorful and architecturally impressive ornaments and artifacts. The day tour is nearly complete. We go back to the hotel. Overnight in Kathmandu.

We commence our journey via tourist bus; the real highway journey goes ahead through panoramic scenery that starts within the hilly terrain. When we reach Pokhara, we check into the hotel and take a rest. We may wander into Pokhara for an evening walk to view the beauty of the distinct biodiversity of nature. The most beautiful city in Nepal, Pokhara, offers many things to see for tourists. Overnight in Pokhara.

The route is perfect for driving, but somewhere there are bumpy roads. After reaching Nayapul, we start the trek to Ghandruk. The trek is quite easy and good for acclimatizing for further high-altitude walks. We climb up the hilly peaks through thick forests, a series of many waterfalls, and the valleys of quaint settlements of different ethnicities. These are the fascinating sections of our trek up to Ghandruk for today. Overnight in Ghandruk.

We begin our trek after having breakfast, gradually ascending all the way to Chomrong. We find ourselves encircling the golden jewel of nature while walking. As we move ahead, we see close views of mountains, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Ganggapurna, and many more. After entering the beautiful Chomrong village, we get a glimpse of the energizing Annapurna Mountain ranges in front of us. Overnight in Chomrong.

Today's trek goes simply down and gradually up continuously across the dense grennery forests to Bamboo. As we go on, we see beautiful waterfalls coming from the top of hills and may encounter animals such as deer and monkeys. When we go higher and higher, the temperature slowly drops. We see the views of the Annapurna ranges closer to our route. Overnight in Bamboo.

After having breakfast, we begin our trek steadily upward. This section of the trek is the most exciting part of our trek because we see the long-expanded waterfalls above the ridges. The lush terrain valleys are surrounded by bamboo trees and rohodended trees. All the way to Deurali, the ascending, straight, and decending walkway finally leads to our destination today. Overnight in Deurali.

We wake up in the morning and have breakfast. We begin our trek by ascending to the journey to Mount Machhapucchre Base Camp (the Mount Machhapucchre is known as sacred). The views of Machhapucchre are magnificent, and from there we observe other mountains such as Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and so on. We head toward the final destination of our trek, which is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, and begin to ascend toward Annapurna Base Camp. As we reach there, we catch the most intimate moment of the Annapurna Base Camp. We climb up it successfully and share happy times with each other. There, we spend more time observing the smashing views of Mount Annapurna I, Mount Annapurna III, Mount Machhapuchhre, Mount Annapurna South, and many more. Overnight at Annapurna Base Camp.

We wake up early in the morning to view the eye-catching sunrise views over the Mount Annapurna ranges, Mount Hiunchuli, Mount Dhaulagiri, Mount Machhapuchhre, and many more. Which is nothing other than spectacular. The 360-degree view around the Glacier Valley makes everyone impressed. After enjoying our great time, we go back down to Bamboo Village by following the trail of the greenery forests along the roraring Modi River. Overnight in Bamboo.

After having breakfast, we begin our trail downhill with quite easy and relaxing walks. The low-land terrain is occupied with mostly forest hills and settlements of different ethnic groups. We will see the elegant views of Machhapuchhre in the backdrop even by following the steep descent. That is a special section of our trek. When we reach Jhinu Danda, we can have a natural hot spring bath. Which is supposed to get rid of any kind of skin disease, according to public beliefs. Overnight in Jhinu Danda.

Today's trek is almost the end of our long journey. After having breakfast, we descend the topsy-turvy trail steeply downward to Nayapul. The route is followed by top highlands across the forests midst the deep georges. Finally, we approach Nayapul, then drive back to Pokhara in our private vehicle. We enjoy the stunning sunset views of Mount Annapurna, Mount Machhapuchhre, Mount Dhaulagiri, Mount Manaslu, and many more from Pokhara Valley. Check into the hotel and take a rest. We set out to amble the evening around Pokhara Valley. The vibrant city of Pokhra offers many activities related to tourism. Overnight in Pokhara.

After having breakfast, we leave for Kathmandu by tourist bus. The highway journey takes you through the panoramic views of hillsides all the way to Kathmandu. After arriving in Kathmandu, check into the hotel and rest. The remaining time of the day, we wander around Thamel for shopping and have coffee. Overnight in Kathmandu.
