Overview

Annapurna Base Camp Trek is  one of the popular trekking in Nepal. Annapurna I (8091m) stands in the western Himalayan belt of Nepal with towering neighbors. The massifs surrounding these towering mountains include some of the most alluring rocky peaks. Annapurna II: 7,937 meters (26,040 feet), Annapurna III: 7,555 meters (24,786 feet), Annapurna IV: 7,525 meters (24,688 feet), Gangapurna: Approximately 7,455 meters (24,459 feet), Annapurna South: 7,219 meters (23,684 feet), Hiunchuli: 6,441 meters (21,132 feet) and Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain): 6,993 meters stands tall beside the tenth highest mountain in the world. These mountain peaks create a bowled-shaped valley in between them. The trek to this valley is what we call ABC Trek .

The 7 Days Annapurna Base Camp trek is initiated in the bustling Pokhara city. It is one of the few treks that provides a wholesome experience. Ranging from rural villages, picturesque mountain vistas, hot springs, raging Himalayan rivers, terraced farms, luxuriant green forests, and remote trekking experience, Annapurna Base Camp Trek summons it all. From Pokhara, a 2 hours drive westward takes us to Syauli Bazar. Syauli Bazar is a crossroad point for the Poon Hill Trek and 7 Days ABC Trek. This place resides on the banks of Modi Khola river which originates from the Annapurna mountains.
