Annapurna Base Camp trek is a rich natural walk filled with amazingly diverse terrains, cultures and a breathtaking close view of the Mountains. The journey to the 10th highest mountain in the world, Mt. Annapurna, is one of the most popular walks on the planet with a blend of adventure and culture. On our way to the destination, we pass Mt. Machapuchhre, which is highly respected by the Nepalese for it’s unique beauty.

The nature-filled trek begins from Pokhara with a trek to Ghandruk village. The trek from Ghandruk villages takes you on a journey through the forests, beautiful stands of Rhododendron trees, and fascinating traditional village of Gurungs.
