Annapurna Base camp Trek or Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (ABC) is the best trekking destination in Nepal. It offers a hike into the dazzling natural amphitheater. You can see the smile of mountains looking at you during sunrise and sunset. You will be peeking into the beautiful peaks of the Annapurna giants. Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna, and Machhapuchare. Although there is only one entrance to the sanctuary itself, we follow the hidden path. Lesser-used approaches are hard to find on such popular trails. Finally, we exit routes on our premier Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek starts with a flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. We start our Base Camp Trek with a short drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. We walk to a village by the Modi River, Birethanti (1000m). Walking through the oak forest we cross several side valleys, which run into the Modi Khola. A stone ‘staircase’ climb takes us to the first Gurung village of Chomrong (2060m). Trekking past Hinku cave, we reach the place also known as the ‘gate’ into the Sanctuary.
A pass between the spectacular peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare. The glaciated and snow-covered peaks of the Sanctuary form a spectacular barrier. Dazzling views confront us as we trek up through the last permanent settlements. At Machapuchare Base Camp (3729m) we explore the superb views of ‘Fishtail’ mountain. While here we will also visit the Annapurna South Base camp.
The vast amphitheater of the Annapurna Sanctuary is full of famous Himalayan peaks. The ‘fishtail’ spire of Machapuchare (6997m) is well known among travelers. Gangapurna (7454m), Annapurna 1 (8091m), the unclimbed Fang (7647m) and Annapurna South (7273m). The only approach follows the Modi Khola Valley.

This path gives us breathtaking views of Machhapuchhare or Fish Tail (6997m.), Hiunchuli (6441m.), and the grand Annapurna (7219m) south on the way. Our trail now gets quite easy going as we pass through rhododendron and shadowy forests amidst the cackling of birds which gives us good feelings till we ascend gently up to the final camp.

We start our trekking after having breakfast at the lodge and we will enjoy our hike by descending gently all the way through rhododendron, oak, and other kinds of dense forests. We hear the chirping of different kinds of birds on the way to Kim rung Khola. We then straightaway ascend steeply and walk at a flat level for 45 minutes with gentle steep paths in-between and flat all the way to Chomrong which is the gateway to Annapurna Base Camp. Chomrong is a village that is situated at the base of the Himalchuli.
We start our trek after taking a hot breakfast at the lodge; the trail descends on a stone stairway for the first one and half hours and crosses the Chhomrong Khola on a suspension bridge, then climbs out of the side valley. High above the Modi Khola on its west bank, the trail passes through forests of bamboo, rhododendron, and oak. Climbing further on a rocky path we will reach Sinuwa, at 2350m & then we trek gently through the forest and descend a long, steep stone staircase into deep bamboo and rhododendron forests to reach Bamboo and walk on gently towards Dovan and Himalaya.

As the trail continues into the sanctum, it crosses two avalanche tracks on a narrow trail that hurdles up against the cliffs.
