Annapurna base camp trek begins from beautiful City Pokhara and this trek is one of the most picturesque regions in Nepal. It offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, cultural wealth and adventure.

The drive from Pokhara to Matque is short (between 2.5 and 3 hours by private jeep), but incredibly scenic, and your trek begins here. The terraced fields on the hillsides, along with little villages and towns as you make your way up winding mountain roads prepare for whatever adventure lies ahead. This is where the journey truly commences as you reach Matque.

In 3 days time you have covered the ascents to the verdant meadows of rhododendrons, quaint villages and rugged trails. That evening we stayed in Upper Sinuwa, a woody spot with many teahouses — A place to enjoy a hot meal and meet other adventurers. The next day, you trek to Dovan and then to Himalaya where the mountains peaks begin to unveil.

The Trek high point is the climb to Annapurna Base Camp. As you draw close, the tall Annapurna peaks encircle you forming a stunning natural amphitheater. As the sun sets bathing the peaks in a golden hue, you can enjoy those amazing views serenely from Base Camp as you spend the night.
