Annapurna base camp trek is an amazing walk through the diverse landscape and culture complete with rich mountain vistas, terraced fields, quaint Gurung villages and a wide variety of flora and fauna shows you the whole mountain ranges that are magnificent, colossal, and snow-capped that are against the blue sky. Mt. Annapurna (8091m) of Nepal is the 10th highest mountain in the world and the trip to its base camp, which is at 4130m/13549ft height, is one of the most popular walks on earth.

At the base camp, such a unique condition is created by the mountains with panoramic and picturesque view of Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Tent Peak, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna, and Annapurna South drawing your attention to take their photos with your camera as much as you like and as far as you can reach to the corners of the base camp.

Annapurna base camp was first discovered by the British explorer Col. James O.M. ‘Jimmy’ Roberts in the year 1956 and shown to the world as the ‘Sanctuary of Gods’. The Sanctuary then became the “Annapurna Sanctuary”. The major peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli (6,441m), Annapurna South (7279m), Fang, Annapurna I (8091m), Ganagapurna (7485m), Annapurna III (7855m) and Machapuchhare (6993m), are geographically placed accurately in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater in the center.

This wonderful trek explores diverse ethnic groups and their interesting cultures, the local communities found here are Gurung, Magar, Thakali and we are warmly welcomed by these local tribes; blended with this is a glimpse of beautiful flora and fauna found in this area. This is a ‘must do’ trek at least once in a lifetime.
