This is the most popular and famous trek in Nepal. It is more distinct than any other treks by its variety of people, rich culture, beautiful landscapes and natural scenery. This trek lends you to north west of Pokhara through an ancient trek to Tibet across glaciers, gorges and water falls. From the Annapurna Base Camp you will have a close look of Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Machhapuchhre.At the final destination the Annapurna sanctuary (Base camp 4200m.)will be welcoming you patiently. The Annapurna Sanctuary has been treasured by local inhabitants as a place of spiritual refuge since long before trekkers "discovered" it. A natural amphitheatre, ringed by Annapurna south 7219m. and I, Varahashikhar 7847m, Gangapurna 7485m. and Machhapuchhre 6993m, it serves as base camp for expeditions as well as favourite trek destination for mountain lovers.
