Welcome to the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, one of the most iconic and breathtaking treks in the world. This 15-day adventure takes you deep into the heart of the Himalayas, where you’ll hike through lush forests, cross raging rivers, and traverse high mountain passes.

Starting in the vibrant city of Pokhara, you’ll make your way to the base camp of Mount Annapurna, one of the highest peaks in the world. Along the way, you’ll pass through traditional Nepali villages, meet friendly locals, and learn about the region’s unique culture.

As you climb higher, you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of snow-capped mountains, including Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and Machhapuchhre (also known as “Fishtail” mountain). You’ll spend your nights in cosy tea houses, relaxing and recharging before the next day’s trek.

The trip’s highlight is reaching Annapurna Base Camp itself, a spectacular natural amphitheatre surrounded by towering peaks. You’ll have the opportunity to soak in hot springs, explore the surrounding glaciers, and take in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas.

This trek is suitable for experienced hikers and adventure-seekers who are in good physical condition. Our expert guides will be with you every step of the way, ensuring your safety and providing insights into the local culture and environment.

Join us on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and experience the beauty and majesty of the Himalayas for yourself. This is a journey you’ll never forget!
