This place is heaven for nature lovers, resulting in a substantial increase in trekkers in recent years.
All these bizarre and picturesque imageries lie at the lap of the long-ranging Annapurna Mountain Range. Annapurna means “the goddess of grains or food” in Nepali. She is considered one of the sacred deities in the region. Many rivers and creeks originate here and travel to the Ganges and the Bay of Bengal.
This is one of the essential parts of the water cycle in this region. As a result, people in this region worship and honor Mother Annapurna. The way of prayer differs from one ethnicity or culture to another. As a result, you will see many Thanks-meaning small temples in Nepali. Not to mention, you will experience a lot of festivals while on Annapurna Base Camp Trekking.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trekking starts in the quaint lakeside town of Pokhara. The trail then heads to Tikkhedunga and Ghorepani. It continues through lush forests and farmland to narrow gorges overlooked by the mighty Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre (Mt. Fishtail).
12 days Annapurna Base camp Trek trail takes you to the heart of the Gurung as well as Magar cultures and their traditional way of life. It introduces you to a wide variety of birds and wildlife while offering you the most magnificent views of the snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna Range.
Our destination is the Annapurna Base camp trekking. Furthermore, we will be encapsulated by a mountainous wonderland surrounded by some of the world’s highest and most beautiful mountains. A trek to Ghorepani and Poon Hill will offer spectacular mountain views.

However, all will be worth the effort as you accompany these majestic mountains to ABC over various exciting landscapes. Descending from ABC, you can bathe in the natural hot spring at Jhinu before returning to Pokhara to regale us with your adventures and achievements in the Annapurna Himalayas.
