"Nepal is there to change you, not for you to change it. Lose yourself in its essence. Make your footprints with care and awareness of the
precarious balance around you. Nepal is not only a place on the map, but an experience, a way of life from which we all can learn."
Stephen Bezruchka - A Guide to Trekking in Nepal.
Annapurna Base Camp (Sanctuary) - Teahouse Trekking in Nepal
18 days in Nepal
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is perhaps one of the best trekking experience in Nepal.
The Annapurna Base Camp is a mountain ringed glacier basin in the heart
of the Annapurna Range, surrounded by famous
Himalayan peaks such as Hiunchuli (6,441m), Annapurna South (7,219m),
Varaha Shikhar (7,847m), Annapurna I (8,091m), Gangapurna (7,485m),
Annapurna III (7,855m) and the 'fishtail' spire of Machhapuchhre (6,993m).
The only approach follows the Modi Khola valley passing through a variety
of environments, from steeply terraced lowland villages of the Gurung
people, through forests of bamboo, rhododendron and oak, and finally
up to the glaciers and high mountains. This is one of the most beautiful
and rewarding treks in Nepal that offer scenery from subtropical farmland to
snow covered glaciers.
GRADE C (Moderate to Strenuous):
Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is 12 days of moderate to strenuous trekking at medium elevation (max. 4,095m). 11 nights at teahouse lodges and 6 nights at city hotels.
