Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Before Booking a Trip
Trip Map
Quick Inquiry
The Annapurna range is one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the Himalayas. On this trek you will reach the Sanctuary, a horseshoe shape mountain wall with giant ice walls.
At the highlight of this trek, you are surrounded by ten peaks over 7000m (including Annapurna I, Annapurna South and Machhapuchhre / Fishtail). Without having to climb very high, you can be in the middle of the highest mountains, which makes this an extraordinary experience.
The entire trek can be done with accommodation in lodges (minimum comfort). A good fitness and health is required.
Because of the risk of landslides, we discourage you embarking on this adventure during the monsoon months (June, July, August).
If required, we can cater for you to have a longer stay in Pokhara before or after the trek, or travel to another place from Pokhara.
This trek can be done in 11 or 15 days. The 15 days trek is combined with the Poon Hill view point.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek
Ik heb er weer een liefde bij, denk ik. Helemaal gek op een land, landschappen en vergezichten, prachtige kleuren, een heerlijk klinkende taal, een boeiende cultuur met haar schitterende verhalen en tradities, ... maar misschien nog het meest op de stralende glimlachen en de glinsterende donkere ogen.
Ik heb een plek mogen ontdekken waar ik me sinds lang zorgenvrij gevoeld heb, een plek waar ik op en top genoot van echtheid en puurheid, van vrijheid ook. Van eenvoud, van heerlijke geuren, van de zon op mijn snoet...
en van de vriendschap van al jullie fijne gidsen.
Het was fantastisch en onvergetelijk!
