Annapurna Base Camp

This is one of Nepal's most classic and legendary treks, and at the same time one of the most accessible in the Himalayas for experienced hikers - not as demanding as Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit. You move through lush rhododendron forests, terraced fields, and small villages where daily life continues as it has for generations. Along the way, you encounter different cultures, from Brahman and Chhetri in the lower areas to the Gurung and Magar people higher up.
The trail follows the Modi Khola valley until the landscape opens up into the mighty Annapurna Sanctuary, a natural amphitheater surrounded by some of the world's highest mountains. Here you stand amidst peaks such as Annapurna I and the sacred Machhapuchhre, which may not be climbed. Although we reach an altitude of 4,130 meters, the mountains feel closer than on many other major trekking routes. It is grand, tranquil, and moving.

On one and the same trip, you also get to experience both Kathmandu and Pokhara, as well as the jungle in Chitwan National Park.
