Annapurna Base Camp Trekking
 

Annapurna Base Camp Trekking

Overview
Annapurna Base Camp is an inspiring Himalayan trek into the heart of the Annapurna range, balanced with a wonderful taste of both city and rural life in Nepal. Although you will be venturing into the heart of the mighty Himalaya, this trek presents no major difficulties and can be undertaken by any enthusiastic hikers. The surrounding area is protected within the 7,629 km Annapurna Conservation Area, which is the first and largest conservation area in Nepal. The Annapurna Conservation Area is home to several world-class treks. Annapurna Base camp combines some of the most spectacular mountain scenery with a fascinating insight into the modern hill life of Nepal. This is a unique trek along local trails, offering varieties of flora and fauna, from sub-tropical to pine forests, along with the beautiful blossoming rhododendron and villages built on terraced farmland

We will meet you at your hotel in Pokhara in the morning and take a short drive to Nayapul.

The beginning parts of the trail have a steep uphill climb to the ridge then you will reach Deurali for a short break. Then the trail drops down through the valley and into Banthanti. The entire hike goes through a forest that has beautiful scenery and refreshing shade. Near the end, there is a short, easy walk to the ridge and a steep downhill walk to the river and cross the bridge. Then there is a steep climb to Tadapani, located on the top of the ridge. We will stay overnight at Guest House.

After breakfast, the trail climbs up through the valley to get to the Machhapuchhare Base Camp where you will take an hour rest before you head to the Base Camp. If you have no problem climbing up, we continue walking to Base Camp for an overnight stay (If you have a problem walking further we will stop here for an overnight stay and make it a shorter day trip).

Travel season:
There are two ideal seasons to trek in the Annapurna region. The best times for trekking are Spring and Autumn.

Travel Insurance:

You should have an adequate travel insurance. A travel insurance policy that covers cancellation, injury, death, lost baggage, theft, liability, medical treatment and expenses is strongly recommended. Make sure your insurance covers all the activities that you will be undertaking during your stay in Nepal. If a client becomes ill, all hospital expenses, doctors' fees and repatriation costs are the client's responsibility. If you are injured and unable to travel, you can ask for a rescue helicopter from a remote area only if you have definite proof that you can pay for it.

Health and Fitness:
We strongly recommend you consult the doctor before planning your holiday.

Foods and Accommodation:
In Kathmandu we use a tourist-standard hotel to ensure a comfortable stay and relaxed environment before and after your adventure. All breakfasts are included at the hotel in Kathmandu. Rooms are generally shared with twin beds– depending on your group size and room availability, a room with three beds may be provided upon your request. A single supplement room is available at an additional cost. We will provide all meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner along with tea & coffee) from the teahouse menu during the trek. Whilst trekking on Annapurna, the accommodation is in guesthouses or lodges which are basic and may have shared facilities.
