Trip Overview
Annapurna Base Camp or Annapurna Sanctuary is the perfect introduction to trekking in the Himalayas. It is a medium length trek into the heart of the mighty Himalaya with unsurpassed views.
This trek passes through a diverse range of climate, vegetation and cultural zones. From lush vegetation of rain and temperate forests to the alpine environment of the Sanctuary, each day on this trek offers something different. The land really does change daily, which provides a tantalizing introduction to Nepal’s cultural and natural beauty. Many trekkers choose this route as a shorter and easier alternative to the Everest Base Camp trek.
