The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most trekked route in the Nepal and takes place in the Annapurna Conservation Area.
The Base Camp itself lies at an altitude of 4,130 meters and is where mountaineers start their summit of Annapurna I, the 10th highest peak in the world at 8,091 meters. The trekking trail goes alongside terraced rice paddies, lush rhododendron forests and high altitude landscapes with the Annapurna Range in view most of the times. Moreover, it also passes through villages of ethnic Gurung and Thakali village communities.
The trek overall is beautiful and gives you a very up close experience with the Annapurna and Machhapuchhre mountain ranges. It is especially beautiful during the spring season as rhododendron flowers along the trail turn red, pink and white. The trek is also rewarding – travelers get a unique opportunity to take a dip in the warm natural spring at Jhinu Dada and get refreshed at the end of the trek.
If you are physically fit, willing to take up the challenge to witness panoramic Himalayan views, the Annapurna Base Camp trek is the trek for you.
The trek total distance coverage starting from Siwai and ending at Jhinu is around 74.4 kilometers. The longest part of the trek will be when descending down from Annapurna Base Camp to the village of Bamboo which is around 22 kilometers in a single day. You can find the day by day distance coverage breakdown below –
