Annapurna Base Camp Trek


The Annapurna Range is located 250km West of Kathmandu. The impressing views of iconic peaks such as Mount Fishtail (Mt. Machhapuchhre) and Annapurna I-VI and easy access to trekking routes, make this area the most popular for trekkers in Nepal. The trek starts from Pokhara, Nepal’s second largest city which is also called as a queen city of Nepal because of the natural beauty of the region.

The Annapurna Conservation Area offers lush, jungly trails combined with thrilling 360-view ridge trails. There is a rich birdlife here, and in springtime the rhododendron forest blooms, offering amazing nature encounters.

Whether you are looking for a trek with once-in-a- lifetime adventure or spend family holidays in the nature, we make sure that you experience the best that the Annapurnas has to offer. And this Annapurna Sanctuary is the one of the best options for this in the Annapurna Region.
