Annapurna Base Camp Trek 16 Days

       The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a classic for trekkers; it is often combined with a trip to Pun Hill or one of the other lower altitude treks. The trek provides an opportunity to view many peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himalayas including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare. These peaks are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 15kms in diameter, it has a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center commonly known as the Annapurna Sanctuary. The Modi Khola River below cuts its way south in a narrow gorge fully 4000mtrs deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley. The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal and a trip to A.B.C. can also easily be combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region and Muktinath to the west.
