Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the most pleasing and most tempting 12 days trip available in Nepal. For those unaware, Annapurna I (8091 m) is the tenth highest mountain in the world above sea level.
Moreover, the base camp falls inside Annapurna Sanctuary, a high glacial basin lying 40 km directly north of Pokhara. The package is thus tailored for all thrill seeking nomads with a hunger for more.
The tour usually begins with a pick up from Kathmandu Airport. Travelers then take a scenic drive to Pokhara the next day. The trek actually begins from day three when you arrive at Birethanti.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. This oval-shaped plateau sits at an altitude of over 4000 meters . It is surrounded by a ring of mountains, the Annapurna range, most of which are over 7000 meters. However, the only entrance here is a narrow valley between the peaks of Himchuli and Macchapucchre. The Sanctuary was thus not penetrated by outsiders until 1956.
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
Please wait at the exit terminal of airport or hotel lobby or at the entrance of your residential apartment in Kathmandu 10 minutes prior your pick up time.
