Trip Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the classic trekking route in Nepal. The trail leading to the base camp is a beautiful journey, as you will find yourself halfway there, accompanied by lush forests and the magnificent Himalayas. It is a perfect combo of greenery, amazing landscapes, and the beautiful White Mountains.

Annapurna base camp trekking is a tea house trek in Nepal, offering you stunning views of mountains and hills. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the shortest and most beautiful trekking trails and the most popular trekking in Nepal. The trail follows alongside terraced rice fields, rivers, lush forests, and the view of the Annapurna range. The flowing rivers, streams, and wooden bridges add more fun to the trek. The villages and the locals are another best part of the journey, as you will encounter a lot. As this is a teahouse trek, you will get to experience the warm hospitality of the locals. The hospitality of Annapurna is famous among the trekkers who have trekked in Nepal. Annapurna Circuit Trek, Nar Phu Valley Trek, and Annapurna Base Camp Trek are also likely treks.

The Annapurna base camp at 4130 m looks extremely beautiful, set amidst the other magnificent mountains of Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South, Annapurna II, III, IV, Hiunchuli (6441 m), and Macchapuchhre (6993 m).

Trekking in Annapurna can be lengthy or short, too. It is up to the trekker’s perception of how long they want. The trek begins in Nayapul, which is just a half-hour drive from Pokhara. Then ascend to Ghandruk village, which is famous for Gurung culture and the panoramic view of the Annapurna range. Following the trail to Chhomrong in the east and again hiking to the north, Modi Khola Valley is a gateway for Base Camp.

The trek is not that hard. A few months of exercise is enough for this trek. This trek can be easily done with children as well. While returning, you can give your tired body rest in the hot springs of Jhinu Danda. On the way back, visit the charming village of Ghandruk or Landruk and get more insights into the local communities of Gurung, Thakali, and Magar. You will find well-equipped lodges or tea houses with a variety of menu items and readily available hot showers.

The Annapurna base camp trek is a fun and adventurous journey. Make Highland Eco Trek your travel planner and make your trip unforgettable.
