Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 13 Days

It is known as Annapurna Sanctuary, one of the most popular treks in Nepal. This is a moderate trek. The combination of easy walking and majestic scenery makes the trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Enjoy mountain views, thick bamboo and rhododendron forests and a mix of cultures unparalleled by other treks as you venture deep into the Mt. Annapurna

This magnificent amphitheatre is called a "sanctuary" because of its natural serenity, beauty and the divine presence of the Hindu goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna. This isolated cirque of peaks can only be approached by one route, a deep gorge that carves into the fortress of mountains between Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli. Many of the peaks are over 7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as well as Annapurna I and III, Annapurna South and Gangapurna..
