Trekking Nepal Pvet.Ltd.
Annapurna Base Camp
This trek will allow you to access, arriving at the Machhapuchhare Base Camp and then the Annapurna Base Camp. This trek is not difficult, which will allow you to enjoy the magnificent view of the Annapurna range as well as other mountains. Some viewpoints offer us a magnificent view of the southern Annapurna range (7219 m), Himchuli (6434 m), Machhapuchhare (6997 m) and especially the first Annapurna (8091 m).
In this trek, we visit beautiful villages, different ethnicities, their culture, traditions, religion, etc. Unforgettable encounters with the Gurung ethnic group will allow you to understand current life in Nepal. Sometimes the route takes place in the forests, where you can also see wild animals, as well as hot water baths.
When we arrive at Machhapuchhare Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp (4130 m), we will be surrounded by large mountains, which will be very close to us. We then think we are in paradise. This is a route to recommend in spring, when the rhododendrons are in bloom.
