Why Choose the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is a moderate-level journey that leads you to the foot of Annapurna I (8,091m) — the world’s 10th-highest mountain. Along the trail, you’ll encounter diverse landscapes, from lush rhododendron forests and terraced rice paddies to serene alpine meadows and glacial valleys.
This trek is perfect for both beginners and seasoned trekkers who want to experience the Himalayas up close without facing extreme altitudes.

- Panoramic views of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna
- Warm hospitality from the Gurung and Magar communities
- Rejuvenating natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda
