Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Client Feed Back

The Annapurna base camp trek gives one the true feeling of trekking. It is indeed fantastic and adventurous for those people who love enjoying the natural flora and fauna with gorgeous snow-capped peaks. This trek has become a classic, where one can experience unparalleled mountain scenery and enormous glaciers, and gain insight into true Nepalese life and culture. This trek starts and ends in Pokhara being a part of Annapurna Circuit or Jomsom / Muktinath trek. The Annapurna base camp is separated from Tatopani through Ghorepani and Tadapani by joining the main Sanctuary trail at Chhomrong. The trek involves several ascents and descents but can vary in difficulty, as there are several alternative routes to the Sanctuary, all meeting at Chhomrong. The Annapurna base camp follows the Modi River and passes through welcoming forests of bamboo and rhododendron. After reaching Hinko cave, we can notice that the vegetation has thinned and the gorge has narrowed to only a few hundred meters wide. Steep snow capped ridges tower from Himchuli on the left and Machhapuchhre on the right as one enters the Sanctuary. Passing through the gate and entering the sanctuary, we will witness this huge natural amphitheatre enclosed by walls of snow-capped peaks. This trek will ultimately end in Pokhara.
