Monday 08:30 AM - Pokhara Lakeside · Phewa Lake · Pokhara

Annapurna Base camp trek is one of the most visited trekking areas in Nepal. This trek name is kept after the name of the world’s 10th highest mountain Annapurna (8091m). The Annapurna base camp is located at the elevation of 4130m/13549ft.It is a moderate trek. It brings you close to Annapurna one of the eight-thousander peaks. Annapurna is the first 8000 - meter peak to be scaled. You will also see the famous Fishtail, Machhapuchre, Annapurna mountain range, Dhaulagiri. You will get a chance to take a dip in hot spring at the end of the trek. The diverse landscapes are a joy to watch. And the comfortable treehouse lodges on the trail make this trek more memorable. 

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the perfect mountain trek for you if you yearn mountains.

In an extreme case, if you miss your international flight from Kathmandu, we will render all assistance, but cannot be held liable for any extra cost incurred. (If you have a connecting flight from Kathmandu)

- Since it is mountain region, we do not recommend taking the flight on the same day of long travel. There could be unforeseen delays. So better to book flights with at least one day buffer.
