Journey to Annapurna base camp trek

Our Annapurna base camp trek starts with a drive to the scenic lake city of Pokhara. Here, you can enjoy the tranquility of Fewa Lake while relishing the glimpses of Mt. Machapuchare. Next, we drive towards Lumle and then take our first steps in the direction of Tikhedhunga village. We spend our upcoming days on an up-and-down trail and pass through many beautiful villages en route.

Later after arriving at Ghorepani village, we plan on hiking up to the top of Poonhill. Poonhill sits as a great vantage point for travelers who wish to see some amazing sunrise views over the mountains. For this reason, Poonhill is often considered to be the best place to watch the Himalayas.

Continuing on, we now push ourselves towards our final destination of ABC (Annapurna Base Camp). We leave Ghorepani and then move eastward to Chomrong village. Our way now leads us through the Modi Khola Valley which ultimately ends at Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m).

Once you have reached the base camp, you can view the impressive peaks of Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Machapuchare (6,993 m) and Hiunchuli (6,441 m). Besides that, our trek lets you visit Thakali villages where you can have a taste of their famous ‘Dal Bhat’.
