Introduction of Annapurna Base Camp
The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is Nepal‘s most renowned and rewarding trekking experience, offering a special blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and Himalayan thrill. Situated at the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area, the trek usually starts at Nayapul or Jhinu Danda and ascends through the vast rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and rural Gurung and Magar settlements. As trekkers walk through picturesque villages like Chhomrong and Deurali, they are greeted with open arms and a glimpse of the unique mountain lifestyle. The trek gradually goes up towards the breathtaking amphitheater of the Annapurna Sanctuary, concluding at the base camp at an altitude of 4,130 meters.
