Overview
10 days 9 nights
Private trip
The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region. There are only few treks in Himalaya that brings us through so many different landscapes in such a short period of time. The trek involves walks alongside terraced rice fields, amazing rhododendron and bamboo forests, cute little villages and high altitude landscapes. The fantastic Annapurna Range with their famous peaks of Annapurna South (7219 m), Machapuchhre (6993 m) and Hiunchuli (6441 m) are visible most of the time.
