Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal
Trip Overview
Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the very popular Himalayan hiking trips in Nepal. Annapurna Base Camp is the foothill of Mount Annapurna, one of the world’s top ten high mountains which are above 8000 meters from sea level. Shortly Annapurna Base Camp trek is also called ABC Trek.
Some people also say Annapurna Sanctuary Trek to Annapurna Base Camp Trek because Annapurna Base Camp seems like a sanctuary circled by beautiful snowy Himalayan peaks. The tallest peak you can view from the base camp is Mt Annapurna I. This is the 10th highest mountain in the world which rises to an elevation of 8,091 meters/ 26545 feet.
Apart from Annapurna I, from the Annapurna Base Camp, you can also easily see Mt Fishtail (Machapuchare), Mt Annapurna South, Mt Annapurna Fang, Mt Annapurna III, Mt Hiunchuli, Mt Gangapurna, Mt Khangsar Kang and Tent Peak. Most of the mountains in Annapurna Base Camp are over 7000 meters.
The entrance of the Annapurna base camp is a narrow valley between Mt Hiunchuli and Mt Machapuchare, where run-off from glaciers drains into the Modi Khola River. Because of the high mountains on all sides, the Annapurna Base Camp receives only 7 hours of sunlight a day.
There are a couple of places where you can start hiking to reach the Annapurna Base Camp. Every trekking trail of ABC passes through beautiful mountain villages, terraced farmlands, lush forests of oak and bamboo trees, sparkling streams, and glacial moraines.
In spring everybody becomes more excited while trekking on this trail. Because it’s a time for blossoming rhododendron flowers and it makes the hills colorful.
