Trip Description


A short trek to the Annapurna Base Camp is the best way to enjoy the breathtaking view Annapurna region most of which are over 6000 metres with the entrance of narrow valley between the peaks of Hiunchuli (6441m) and Machapuchhre (6993 m), where run-off from glaciers drain into Modi Khola River. The unique combination of heights and depths on the 5-day trek into the Annapurna Sanctuary give rise to an extraordinary variety of ecosystems. Every moment the trek rewards with the worthwhile watch. It may be culture, landscapes or the pleasant weather. Annapurna Conservation Area Project has the lead role in preserving the floras, faunas, wild lives, and the fragile nature of the region. The conserved area includes both the Base Camps Machapucchre and Annapurna. The trek in the region is also particularly popular because the trial also takes you the famous trekking peaks of Nepal including Tent Peak, Fluted Peak, and Hiunchuli.

I have booked the Short Annapurna Base Camp trek with Treks Planner Nepal and they have organised and delivered a fantastic trip. Before booking the communication via email and phone was quick, helpful and very detailed. During the trip our guide who did a tremendous job in keeping us healthy (no diarrhea in our group), safe and comfortable (we always had the best rooms and food in the tea houses). Even other fellow trekkers recognized that he has superior knowledge in terms of the route, landscape and hospitality and would stop by every evening to ask for suggestions. The trip was a great success and I would more than recommend using the company. When I will decide to do the Everest Base Camp I will for sure book through Treks Planner Nepal.
