ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREKKING

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is one of the fascinating and famous trekking
areas for trekkers in Nepal. With the elevation of 8091m, Annapurna lies in the
Himalayan section in North-central Nepal. The base camp of Annapurna lies in
the altitude of 4130m. This trek provides the experience to see magnificent
panorama and blend of diverse unique cultures. The major highlights of
Annapurna Base Camp are breathtaking sunrise and peak view from Ghorepani
and Poon hill, exploring around typical Gurung village and glance on the culture
and way of life in Ghandruk, natural hot spring at Jhinudanda and amazing
mountains and glacier view from Annapurna Base Camp.

Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Gangapurna Varahashikhar, Fish Tail known as
Machhapuchhre. We begin our journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara Valley. With
no exaggeration, Pokhara is one of the most stunning cities of Nepal and we
drive from Pokhara to Nayapul which is a picturesque one hour drive. Then, we
walk through the pleasing oak and rhododendron forests, across gleaming
streams and the terraced meadows of crops with the view of different attractive
villages. And, the best season for Annapurna Base Camp is March, May and in
