Annapurna base camp trek is a world-class trekking trail in Nepal. Join us for an amazing 13 Days Himalayan adventure along this stunning trail for your unforgettable holidays. 

The trek offers an extraordinary variety of ecosystems because of the unique combination of depth and height along the route. The stunning route is surrounded by snow giants such as the Annapurna Himalayan ranges and other peaks above the 7000-meter mark. 

A dense tropical forest of bamboo and rhododendron cover the south-facing slopes and the north-facing slopes are covered by rain shadow. The sanctuary is considered sacred by both Hindus and Buddhists as it is believed to be the abode of their deities. It was not opened for the foreigners until 1956.
