Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a well-known tea house trekking trail in the southern face of the Annapurna Region. Trekking from Pokhara will bring you to the miraculous Modi Khola gorge which lead you to a panorama of vast mountains. In this trekking trail, you pass through bamboo, and rhododendrons ultimately leading to an awesome view of the Annapurna range.

On this trail, we walk in the path sandwiched between Machhapuchhare and Hiunchuli. The maximum altitude we reach in this trial is 4170m The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a hike into the dazzling natural amphitheater formed by the staggeringly beautiful peaks of the giants – Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna, Fang, and the fishtail peak of Machhapuchhare. Although there is only one entrance to the sanctuary itself, we follow locally known, lesser-used approaches and exit routes on our premier Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

The vast amphitheater of the Annapurna base camp trek is encircled by the famous Himalayan peaks – the ‘fishtail’ spire of Machapuchare (6997m), Gangapurna (7454m), Annapurna 1 (8091m), the unclimbed Fang (7647m) and Annapurna South (7273m). The only approach follows the Modi Khola Valley through forests of oak, rhododendron, and bamboo, passing through local Gurung villages to a world of soaring peaks.

Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a cinematic journey that unfolds with scenes of bustling Kathmandu streets, where prayer flags flutter in the breeze, and the aroma of incense fills the air. From there, the adventure transitions to the serene lakeside town of Pokhara, where the calm waters reflect the distant peaks of the Annapurna range.

The trek kicks off with the rhythmic sound of footsteps along dusty trails, traversing through vibrant villages adorned with colorful prayer wheels and adorned with intricate Buddhist art. As trekkers ascend, the landscape transforms, revealing terraced fields carved into the hillsides and dense forests echoing with the calls of exotic birds.

The trek reaches its acclimatization points, offering scenes of weary yet content trekkers sharing stories around warm tea. Poon Hill becomes a breathtaking stage for a sunrise spectacle, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange as the first light kisses the snow-capped peaks.

The journey weaves through enchanting rhododendron forests, where sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a magical play of shadows. The trail passes quaint tea houses, each a welcoming refuge with the promise of warmth and camaraderie.

Machapuchare Base Camp unfolds as a rugged outpost, surrounded by towering cliffs and glaciers. The air becomes thinner, and the landscape more dramatic as trekkers inch closer to the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. Finally, Annapurna Base Camp emerges, a celestial amphitheater embraced by the towering walls of the Himalayas.

Here, trekkers stand in awe as the panorama unfolds – a 360-degree spectacle of towering peaks, including the majestic Annapurna and the sacred Machapuchare. The vastness of the glacial basin below, silent except for the occasional crackle of ice, adds to the surreal atmosphere.

The return journey traces familiar paths, allowing trekkers to bid farewell to the landscapes they’ve grown to love. The trek concludes in Kathmandu, a city filled with the echoes of temple bells and the vibrant tapestry of Nepalese culture, leaving trekkers with a trove of indelible scenes and experiences from their Annapurna Base Camp adventure.

The flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara takes us past three 8000m giants. We start our Annapurna Base Camp Trek with a short drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. We walk to a village by the Modi River, Birethanti (1000m). Walking through the oak forest we cross several side valleys, which run into the Modi Khola, and climb a stone ‘staircase’ to the Gurung village of Chomrong (2060m). Trekking past Hinku cave, we reach what is known as the ‘gate’ into the Sanctuary – a pass between the spectacular peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare. The glaciated and snow-covered peaks of the Sanctuary form a spectacular barrier. Dazzling views confront us as we trek up through the last permanent settlements to the Machhapuchhare Base Camp (3729m) where we are rewarded with superb views of ‘Fishtail’ mountain. While here we will also visit the Annapurna South Base camp.
