Trekking
Annapurna Region
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek (ABC) is one of Nepal's most popular treks. It's a much easier and shorter walk than some of Nepal's other high-altitude climbs. This journey includes a variety of terrain, culture, and wildlife. Along with the most breathtaking and up-close views of the Annapurna range, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Dhaulagiri.
In the spring, it blooms with a variety of gorgeous flowers, including the Nepalese national flower, the Rhododendron. During the journey, you will be accompanied by orchids, the Machhapuchhre massif, and the deepest gorge in the world, the Kali Gandaki.
High cascading waterfalls can be seen on occasion. When you visit the Ghandruk, you will also learn about people of many ethnicities, particularly Gurung people.
However, depending on your itinerary, you may or may not pass through Ghandruk. From Chomrung onwards, the track is the same, however you can choose to include or exclude Ghorepani Poon Hill and Ghandruk. Poon hill provides a great view of Annapurna and other peaks, as well as dawn and sunset.
The hot springs are another highlight of this walk! For your sore muscles, this is a very calming and restorative treatment.
MBC also passes through ABC (Machhapuchhre Base Camp). What a wonderful experience. In one journey, visit two base camps!
These trails, together with the Annapurna Circuit, attract over 70% of all trekkers who visit Nepal.
