Few treks in the world combine so many different landscapes and bring you so close to the base of 7000 and 8000-meter peaks in so few days. This trek carves its way up the narrow gorge of Modi Kola until you are surrounded by a high and glaciated wilderness at the base camp of Annapurna I, which is used by expeditions attempting the massive south face of Annapurna. Annapurna Base Camp Trek follows a stone stair pathway that leads you beyond terraced rice paddies and lush forests of rhododendron and bamboo, to find yourself in a high glacial basin surrounded by eleven of Nepals major peaks including Annapurna I, 8091m, Annapurna South, 7219m, Machapuchhre, 6993m and Hiunchuli, 6441m. This is known as the Annapurna Sanctuary trek, home of the divine godesses Annapurna and Gangapurna. Nights are spent in village teahouses where you experience the local culture of the predominately Gurung and Magar ethnic groups in the region. These people are well known as the brave Gurkhas soldiers of the British army. The Annapurna Base Camp trek starts with a short drive from Pokhara, a quiet city nestled in a valley beside a peaceful lake with an incredible view of the Annapurna range. The trailhead is at Phedi, a rushing stream from where we ascend up to Dhampus, the first of many mountain villages we will pass through. Each day as you trek you will enjoy the impressive snowy peaks from new viewpoints. With the altitude at Annapurna BaseCamp a little over 4000m, it is vital to acclimatize properly. Although it is possible to reach Annapurna Base camp in fewer days, our proposed itinerary is planned to allow our bodies time to acclimatize and avoid any risk of altitude problems. The steep stone trails are steps that seem to be continually either uphill or downhill. In the lush forest of the approach to the Annapurna Sanctuary the underfoot conditions can be damp and slippery. The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is possible in all seasons however, in the winter the Base Camp is sometimes closed due to the level of snow. The most beautiful time of year is spring when the rhododendron forests are in full bloom. Annapurna Foothill Treks and Expedition offer competitive prices and excellent packages which assure that you are well taken care of and enjoy your trek to the fullest. There are numerous lodges and tea-houses where we can take refreshing breaks all along this popular trekking route. The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek takes just one day longer than Annapurna Base Camp Trek and includes the amazing view from Poon Hill above Ghode Pani. Some clients who have already been to Poon Hill, or are short for time however, choose the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
