The mystic mountains, stunning landscapes, extraordinary combination of natural and cultural heritages make this trek to the lap of one of the world’s tallest mountains, Annapurna Base Camp Trek (8091 m) a lifelong memory. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the most popular trekking destination among the local and foreign trekkers that come to Nepal. The trekkers have the option to take the common route to Annapurna Base Camp or the alternative route such as Annapurna Sanctuary to make the trip a bit extended. The breathtaking views of mountains including Annapurna and Machchapuchhre (Fish Tail peak), the beautiful natural vegetation, and cultural diversity make Annapurna Base Camp trek a remarkable journey to be cherished throughout the life. This trek is of moderate difficulty as the trekkers need to walk for 6-7 hours per day along the normal trekking trails. However, ascending to the base camp is a bit physically demanding.
