Short Description of Annapurna base camp trek
Annapurna base camp trek is famous for trekkers. The
principal peaks of the western portion of the great
Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna
South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and
Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a
circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep
glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From
this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna
Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a
narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south,
the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley,
the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper
portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short
trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located
so that these treks can be easily combined with
treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west.
In spite of the great heights of the surrounding
peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000
and 14,000 ft. can provide comfortable camping spots
in good weather. |

ACCOMMODATION DURING THE TRIP:
In Kathmandu and Pokhara, we do provide 4 stars
hotel and 3 stars hotel respectively and during the
trekking, we provide you guest house which is called
Tea house. Tea Houses are more like hotels, with hot
showers, western food, and private rooms (twin
sharing). In this arrangement overnight halts with
dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges)
and lunches in local restaurants en-route.
Furthermore as you will be staying in locally owned
lodges you will be benefiting and interacting with
the local community. It will give you a true feel
for the Nepalese people and their lives.
MEALS DURING THE TRIP:
In Kathmandu, we do provide you good breakfast and
While on trek you can expect to sample a variety of
local foods including such items as Tibetan fried
bread, soups, momos (steamed dumplings), daal bhat
(lentils and rice), tarkari (steamed, fried, or
curried vegetables), potatoes (prepared in dozens of
ways), pastas and even a version of pizza. Meats are
rarely eaten although you may have canned tuna or
sardines and the occasional yak stew. Breakfasts
typically consist of eggs (prepared in many ways),
hot porridge, muesli, toast, peanut butter and
honey. Hot tea is served at every meal. Although
food is looked upon as "fuel" rather than a
"culinary art", your cook will occasionally surprise
you with such delights as banana fritters and apple
crisps! You may want to bring your a few of your
favorite trail snacks. |

Annapurna base camp trek is suitable for any walker
looking for something a little more challenging and
energetic. It does not require that you have any
previous trekking or mountaineering experience.
Although the terrain is not difficult, some vigorous
hiking experience is useful. And It does not require
any technical experience; only that you be in good
physical conditioning and be able to hike for 4-6
hours over hilly terrain with a light day pack.
Do I need 14 days holiday for Annapurna base camp
trek?
It would be good, if can allow 14 days holiday for
Nepal Annapurna base camp trek. We do require 12
days for trekking and we need two more days an extra

altogether it requires minimum 14 days time for
Nepal.
However, if you would not allow 14 days time, we can

are spectacular, with color displays that are

December is an ideal time for the best mountain
