The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of Nepal’s most iconic and accessible treks, offering a stunning journey to the foot of some of the world's tallest mountains. This route takes you through picturesque landscapes and allows you to spend nights at two renowned base camps, with breathtaking close-up views of Annapurna I and Machapuchare. Situated at an elevation of 4,130m (13,549 ft), Annapurna Base Camp offers a moderate trek that brings you incredibly close to Annapurna Peak—one of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks and the first of these giants to be summited.
