Annapurna Base Camp Trek
From
Duration
Overview
The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek is one of Nepal’s most iconic and popular treks, taking you deep into the heart of the majestic Annapurna mountain range. Also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary trek, the trail leads to a spectacular natural amphitheater at an altitude of 4,130m, surrounded by a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of towering peaks.
This trek is celebrated for its incredible diversity, with the trail winding through a dramatic range of landscapes. You’ll pass through subtropical forests filled with rhododendrons, traverse terraced rice fields, cross roaring rivers on suspension bridges, and ascend into a glacial basin flanked by giants like Annapurna I (the 10th highest mountain in the world), Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli.
The ABC trek is an excellent choice for those with a good level of fitness but is considered less technically challenging and at a lower altitude than the Everest Base Camp trek, making it a great option for those looking for a classic Himalayan adventure. Its combination of unparalleled mountain views, rich cultural encounters with the local Gurung and Magar communities, and a visit to the famous Poon Hill viewpoint for a magical sunrise makes it a truly unforgettable experience.
