Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking (4130m.) also call Annapurna Base Camp Trekking (ABC) in Nepal is indeed a remarkable adventure that offers trekkers an unforgettable journey through some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. The best seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek are pre-monsoon (March to May) and post-monsoon (September to November), when the weather is relatively stable, and the skies are clear, offering the best views of the mountains. Nestled amidst the towering peaks of the Annapurna range, this trek provides not only breathtaking views but also a rich cultural experience as you encounter the diverse communities that call this region home. Starting from the vibrant city of Kathmandu and passing through the scenic town of Pokhara, trekkers make their way to the starting point of the trek. Along the trail, they traverse through lush forests, terraced farmlands, and quaint villages, immersing themselves in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region. The gradual ascent allows for acclimatization while offering stunning views of snow-capped peaks and picturesque landscapes.
The trek typically begins with a drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara, followed by another drive to the trailhead at Nayapul or Dhampus Phedi. From here, trekkers embark on a multi-day journey that takes them through various villages such as Ghandruk, Chhomrong, Dovan, and Deurali before reaching the Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters. Each village along the way offers unique cultural insights and hospitality, with opportunities to interact with local Gurung and Magar communities. The trek is moderately challenging, with well-established trails and teahouses providing accommodation and meals along the route. While the altitude gain is gradual, it’s essential for trekkers to take their time to acclimatize properly and avoid altitude sickness. One of the highlights of the trek is the dramatic change in scenery, from the subtropical forests of the lower elevations to the alpine meadows and glacial moraines as you approach the base camp. The sanctuary itself is a high glacial basin encircled by some of the most prominent peaks of the Annapurna range including Annapurna I (8,091 meters), Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machapuchare (Fishtail Mountain).
