Trip Overview
Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is deservedly one of the best hikesinto the dazzling amphitheater formed by staggeringly beautiful peaks of Annapurna massif. The 10th highest peak in the world—Annapurna (8091m) is the first 8000 meter peak ever summited.Annapurna Base Camp has only one entrance per se, but we follow locally known but lesser used approach to make this trip relatively short yet more than memorable. Annapurna Base Camp Trek takes you through some of the culturally rich Gurung villages like Landruk, Ghandruk, and Chhomrong.
