Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Trip Overview

Embark on one of Nepal’s most iconic alpine adventures with the Annapurna Base Camp and Machhapuchhre Base Camp Trek, a journey that takes you deep into the heart of the majestic Annapurna Sanctuary—a natural amphitheater encircled by towering Himalayan giants.

This trek is celebrated for its diverse landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant local culture. The Annapurna range features multiple peaks soaring over 7,000 meters, including Annapurna I, Gangapurna, Glacier Dome, Fang, and the sacred Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).

The trail leads through lush rhododendron forests, charming Gurung villages, and terraced farmlands, culminating in breathtaking sunrise views from Poon Hill and up-close encounters with snow-capped summits. Trekking through the narrow Modi Khola Valley, you'll stand directly below Machhapuchhre before entering the sanctuary—truly a spiritual haven in the Himalayas.

This moderately challenging trek offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers, photographers, and cultural explorers alike.

Highlights:

• Spectacular sunrise view from Poon Hill (3210m)

• Close-up views of Annapurna I (8091m), Machhapuchhre (6997m), and other peaks

• Immersion in traditional Gurung and Magar culture

• Soothing natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda
