Located on the banks of Modi Khola, Sayuli Bazaar is the starting point of the trek to Annapurna Base Camp trek. From here, we will now walk for about 3 hours forward to Ghandruk village (1800m). We’ll then move across the bridge and trek through lovely green paddy fields where we can smell the unique aroma in the cool breeze throughout this stretch of the trail.  Finally, we arrive at the frugal Ghandruk Village (1,800m) where we can enjoy the panorama of the Annapurna ranges.

At ABC, you’ll be rewarded for your toil with the awesome vistas of the snow-capped mountain peaks and tempting landscapes. Along with it, you will also observe the southern slant of the Annapurna range established in the lap of the formidable Himalayas; the sight is worth its weight in gold and is unsurpassed by anything else in the world.
