Trip Overview
The Annapurna base camp trekking known as Annapurna Sanctuary trekking is a true classic, amidst some of the highest and most spectacular mountains in the world. You will reach two popular base camps these are Machhapuchare base camp and Annapurna Base camp. Annapurna base camp trekking trail give you beautiful views of Himalaya range including Machapuchare known as fishtail mountain, Lamjung Himal, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli Peak, Gangapurna and If go through Ghorepani Poon hill then you will enjoy with beautiful sunrise and see nicer views of the Himalayas “Mt. Dhaulagiri, Tukuche peak, Nilgiri and many more white peaks.” Our Annapurna base camp treks will be begins from close to beautiful city Pokhara that means we will arrange vehicle from Pokhara and drive to Nayapul, Phampus Phedi (surkhet Phedi) or Beni Bazaar It depends on your choice of the trekking option for Annapurna base camp trekking.
If you begin Annapurna base camp trekking / Annapurna sanctuary trekking from Beni Bazaar it will be nice and long but very interesting because you will reach at Tatopani (natural hot spring where is possible to take bath) after Tatopani you will begin to climb up hill where you will meet many different ethnic groups and green valley. If go within one day to Ghorepani from Tatopani is very difficulty because it is all the way up hill so better to stay night at Shikha from where you will see nice view of Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak and Nilgiri and next day short to climb to Ghorepani and follow the Annapurna Base camp trekking route. If you start Annapurna sanctuary trek from Nayapul this trek trail goes through Ghorepani poon hill which is nice and panoramic route but if have short holiday for trekking in Nepal you can start trek from Dhampus phedi for Annapurna Base camp trekking. Chumrung village is gateway of Annapurna sanctuary trek even you choose any optional routes of the trekking to go Annapurna base camp you have to go through Chomrung village because from Chomrung only one trail goes to Annapurna base camp trekking.
