About Annapurna Base Camp
The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek is one of the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, offering an incredible journey through diverse landscapes — from lush subtropical forests and terraced rice paddies to alpine meadows and the dramatic glacial basin of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The trek culminates at 4,130m where you're surrounded by a 360-degree amphitheater of towering Himalayan peaks including Annapurna I (8,091m), Annapurna South (7,219m), Machapuchare/Fishtail (6,993m), Hiunchuli (6,441m), and Gangapurna (7,455m). The route passes through beautiful Gurung villages, offering insights into the rich culture of Nepal's mountain communities. Hot springs at Jhinu Danda provide a perfect recovery stop on the return journey.
