The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a favorite among trekkers. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna III, and Machhapuchhare, form a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola carves its way south through a narrow gorge 12,000 feet deep. Further south, the gorge opens into a wide and fertile valley, home to the Gurungs.
The middle and upper portions of the Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, easily combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west. Despite the great heights of the surrounding peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000 and 14,000 feet provides comfortable camping spots in good weather. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is an advanced, spectacular hiking route within the Annapurna Sanctuary National Park. The route begins with beautiful forests and terraced rice fields, climbing to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,100 meters. As you ascend, the landscape rapidly changes from tropical forests to thin snow and spectacular snowy peaks.
Trekking in Nepal is a wonderful experience, and the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of the most spectacular journeys in this region. Many trekkers choose this route as a shorter and more affordable alternative to the Everest Base Camp trek. The base camp is surrounded by some of the world’s best peaks, including Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), Fish Tail Machhapuchhare (6,993 m), and Hiunchuli (6,441 m). The route to Annapurna Base Camp is accessible from several trailheads and can be completed in 6 to 12 days, depending on your route.
This trek can be combined with other hiking courses such as the Annapurna Circuit, Poon Hill, and Mardi Himal Trek. The trek is easily accessible by public transport from the beautiful city of Pokhara. It’s a teahouse trek, which means there are plenty of affordable guesthouses to stay in and eat along the way. Discussing costs, itineraries, guides, porters, altitude sickness, and providing packing and planning tips are all part of the preparation for this incredible journey.
