Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Experience legendary Himalayan trails, high alpine panoramas, and authentic Sherpa culture. Managed end-to-end with guaranteed flight connections, certified guides, and safety protocols.

Trip Overview

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Fly Trek Nepal is one of the most rewarding Himalayan walks in Nepal, leading you into the Annapurna Sanctuary, a high glacial basin ringed by giant peaks. Starting from the lake city of Pokhara, you climb through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and traditional Gurung villages like Ghandruk and Chhomrong. As you rise along the Modi Khola valley, the scenery shifts from green hillsides to alpine meadows, and finally to the rock and ice of Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m (13,549 ft).

Beyond the mountain views, this trek is about the journey itself. You stay in friendly mountain teahouses, share dal bhat with local families, soak in the hot springs at Jhinu Danda, and pass Machapuchare Base Camp beneath the sacred Fishtail peak. With a gradual ascent, no technical climbing, and a well-supported trail, it is one of Nepal’s best choices for first-time Himalayan trekkers, and with Fly Trek Nepal’s local guides and porters, you can walk at a comfortable pace and focus on the views.
