description
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek, also known as Annapurna Sanctuary, runs through the entire deep valley of the Modi Khola always accompanied by the beautiful Machhapuchhre watching all our steps. Finally, we arrive at the spectacular cirque of high peaks that closes it, with the Annapurnas as a backdrop.
We head first to the beautiful village of Ghandruk, rising high above the valley. From Chomrong we descend into the valley within dense jungle and the sound of langurs in the forest. High walls surround us on both sides with their long waterfalls. Near the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the valley opens up, revealing its high peaks, to end in the circus formed by the Annapurnas, with Annapurna I, 8091 meters high, as the culminating point. We return by the same route, deviating at the end towards Jhinu Danda. Here, a well-deserved bath in hot springs awaits us next to the river.
Our complete route is recommended if you have more time.

INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT SCHEDULE
Programs may have to be adapted according to the schedules of your flights to Nepal. The itineraries are designed considering that the international flight arrives at Kathmandu in the morning or noon. If you arrive to Nepal afternoon or later it would be better to have a margin day before starting your trek, although it is not essential.
DO YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR TRIP?
Related to the trek itineraries, Kathmandu and Pokhara staying are the “minimum days recommended” to have a comfortable and safe trip and trek. But always is a good idea to add some extra day during the trek or in your days in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
Like all our tours, the itinerary can be customized and adapted to your taste, needs and preferences.
You can book the full trip or just the trek and travel on your own in Nepal.
EXPERIENCES TO NEPAL OUTSIDE THE PROGRAM
Whether for free days in Kathmandu or Pokhara, as if you want to add more days to your trip, we offer several options and extensions. With them you can add and complete activities and experiences on your trip. Some are already included in some program, but in general we prefer that you choose them on your own, if you are interested in any, depending on your tastes and way of traveling. Ask us for more information if you are interested.
WE ENJOY TALKING WITH YOU
