This amazing Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is a ‘breath of fresh air’ in a region rich in natural beauty. Here is an opportunity to discover why the ABC is considered one of the greatest treks in the Himalayan region.
The Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) is also referred to as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. This trek promises unimaginable and extraordinary views of massive mountain ranges, which include Hiunchuli, Machapuchare (Fishtail) and Annapurna South peaks.
The ideal time of year to trek in this region is in spring when Rhododendron forests are in full bloom (red, pink & white), their blossoms contrasting with the more rocky mountain scenery. However, it is possible to do the Annapurna Base Camp trek all year round.
This is a sample of towering snow-capped peaks you will see along the trail: Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Mt. Annapurna I (8091m) Mt. Manaslu (8163 m), Mt. Annapurna II (7937 m.), Mt. Annapurna III (7555m), Mt. Annapurna IV (7525m), Mt. Annapurna south (7219m), Mt. Nilgiri (7041m), Mt. Machapuchare (6998m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6441m), Mt. Lamjung Himal (6986m) and Tukuche Peak (6920m).
These are several of the mountains seen from ABC: Tharpu Chuli (5663m), Singu Chuli (6501m), Hiunchuli (6441m) and South Annapurna (7219m). On the trail you will see numerous chortens (Buddhist stone monuments), colourful Tibetan prayer flags, yaks grazing, bamboo, rhododendron forests and the distinctive Tibetan style architecture and housing of this area.
Sherpa Expedition Teams will take care of permits and provide all meals and accommodation on this trek.
