Additional Information

The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is popularly also known as Annapurna Sanctuary trek. The journey to its base camp is frequently placed on top of the best trekking routes in the world. This trek passes through gushing waterfalls, ethnic villages, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron forests, providing one with the picturesque panorama of the mountains. It follows an exquisite river basin called the Annapurna Sanctuary with deep gorges, narrow and dazzling river and glacier valleys.

The walk will be a clockwise direction, starting from Nayapul, to Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chhomrung, Deurali, and lastly to the Base Camp. The trail will also take you to the popular Poon Hill. It normally takes 10-12 days to cover this route depending upon the time of the trekker. Because the path mostly goes through the highlands of the region, high altitude might be a challenge. Another challenge might be the slippery nature of the classical route.

AMAZING Trek! - The Oriental Journeys ABC Trek was absolutely incredible and one of the best things I've ever done! Aneel was an incredible guide and made sure that I both stayed safe and had an amazing time. Machhindra and Radhika were also fantastic and helped me out with everything from getting a SIM card to booking additional activities outside of the trek. We were incredibly lucky with the trek and got to see some of the most beautiful views ever. Thanks Oriental Journeys for an amazing trip!

Annapurna Base Camp trek - At the end I realized my dream of finally trekking to Annapurna Base Camp. The experience was epic thanks Oriental Journeys and it's director Machhindra Achary who made his best in order to make this experience a dream come true. My guide was Aneel Mahat, who reveal himself the perfect guide, always very professional and making sure I did not lack of nothing. In a few months I'll be back again to rediscover and explore the Himalayas once more and again i'll be trekking again with Oriental Journeys and Aneel Mahat as my guide. As they say in Nepal: " Come as a guest and go as a friend ".

Beautiful Annapurna - My trip with Annapurna Base camp Trekking was one to remember. The whole process from beginning to end was seamless. The booking was easy; the staff answered questions well and were very available for multiple questions. The guide was informed, strong, very experienced and easy to be with (I'd recommend Machindra and his team). The packing list was complete and the training recommendations were right on.The iconic views of Annapurna region were just what we were looking for. Oh and the food on the way was amazing.
