Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

 

Annapurna Base Camp is one of the most famous trekking in Nepal. Annapurna base camp trek provides you the access to spectacular snowy range of Annapurna Himalayas. This trek is also famous to experience the icefalls, terrible steep cliffs, settlement variability and unique natural diversity in the Annapurna region. Hiking trail follows the paddy fields, tiny villages/tea houses, ever green bamboo and rhododendron forests and the ridge-passes.

The lower part of Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is rich for Gurung culture and ethnology. Annapurna base camp trekking is famous for trekkers. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located so that these treks can be easily combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west.
