http://www.mountainmarttreks.com/destinations/nepal/trekking/annapurna-region/annapurna-base-camp-trek.html Annapurna Base Camp trek begins north of the Lake city Pokhara which is reached by a 6-7 hour tourist bus ride and a 25 minute scenic flight from Kathmandu. It begins at the village of Nayapul at just 1090m (1½ hours drive from Pokhara) and climbs gradually up the Modi Khola Valley through natural forests of oak, rhododendron, pine and bamboo. Villages are sited on ridges high above the river where slopes are gentle enough for terraced farming. The climax of the 12 days Annapurna Base Camp trek is reached in the spectacular Annapurna Sanctuary amphitheatrewhere you will first pass the Machhapuchhare (Fish Tail) Base Camp (3700m/12 139ft) en route to ABC (4130m/13 550ft). Here you are surrounded by an immense and breathtaking wall of rock and ice reaching heights from 6 500 – 8 091m and dramatised by closer rocky outcrops rising above the U-shaped valley gouged out by the glacier. Cloud frequently forms in the late morning making for enticing glimpses of an ever changing landscape: at sunrise it is frequently still and clear offering viewers, photographers a surfeit of possibilities. The downward journey only requires 2 to 3 nights with one spent at Jhinu Danda for a visit to the hot springs. The last morning requires a short trek to Phedi and a half hour drive back to your hotel in Pokhara. Our Annapurna Base Camp trek cost includes permits transport to and from Kathmandu, full accommodation whilst on trek, all meals and safe drinking water. Your guide will brief you each evening about the following day’s trek and variations to the itinerary will be made to suit the needs of your group.
