Obviously, trekking is the best way of exploring the undisclosed mystery that lies concealed in the heart of nature. Within the available trekking routes Nepal offers, Annapurna Base Camp trek is the ultimate all in one package for anyone as it presents you with the enthralling beauty of the snow-capped mountain vistas, gushing waterfalls, blossoming forests, gigantic cliffs and the heart-warming hospitality of the native people residing in the festooned villages of mother-nature’s handicraft. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek’s trail runs along the heart of nature ensuring you the enthralling panorama of the alluring mountain-vistas, sub-tropical paddocks, sanctified destinations, embryonic alpines, and the mind-boggling adorned villages in each and every turn you pass through. If trekking trails in Nepal would ever be ranked, Annapurna Base Camp Trek will always stay top on that list.
Trip starts with an amazing trip of Lake City Pokhara. The place is the most popular touristic destination in Nepal after Kathmandu. Plethora of caves, lakes, eateries, bars, museums and paragliding spots make this place popular for foreigners and locals. Formally the walking starts from Nayapool which is 2 hour drive from Pokhara. Annapurna Base Camp Trekking has two phases as initial phase is towards iconic Poon Hill (3210 m) for the gorgeous sunrise view experience. Trekking along the green lush woods of colorful rhododendron, fig, bamboos, juniper and others trekkers reach the Poon Hill. The trekking onwards is towards Himalayan belt where you can encounter Tibetan origin people. The view of Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna series, Neelgiri, Himchuli and others will be ever present during the trip. Take as many pictures as possible while you stay at base camp of Mt. Annapurna. The Machhapuchhre Base Camp experience is the bonus while doing this trek in Nepal. As trekkers return the feat of hot water natural springs near Jhinu assists in revitalization of soul and muscles. Enjoy the local culture of Gurung, Ghale and Magar on last day of trekking before departing to Kathmandu after finishing the trek.
