Annapurna base camp trekking

Submit Review

Annapurna base camp is a popular trek among the many treks here in Nepal. It guides you through the streets of Kathmandu to the mists of cold solitary mountains. ABC is also known as Annapurna Sanctuary Trek due to the protected areas you walk upon. This trek is an attraction within itself as it takes you to the legendary mountain which is the first among all the 8000m peaks to be successfully climbed in its entire history, Mt Annapurna.
