Annapurna Base Camp trek known as Annapurna Sanctuary trek is a true classic, amidst some of the highest and most spectacular mountains in the world with 360 degrees of mountains and massive glaciers around you, the view from this high, grassy valley is both awesome and relatively easy to achieve. The lower part of Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is rich for Gurung culture and ethnology. Annapurna base camp trekking is famous for trekkers. Many of the peaks are over 7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as well as Annapurna I and III, Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Glacier Dome. Our trek begins in the terraced foothills close to Pokhara. The Ghorepani-Chumrung-Dhampus Ridge gives us good panoramic views of the mountains and, as we pass through local farming communities, the vista becomes more impressive.

Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most famous trekking in Nepal. This is set at 13,000 feet in an amphitheater surrounded by half a dozen peaks more than 21,000 feet tall, Annapurna Sanctuary is the end point of what might be the single most view-intensive trek in Nepal. The principal peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south, the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley, the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located so that these treks can be easily combined with treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west.

In spite of the great heights of the surrounding peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000 and 14,000 ft. can provide comfortable camping spots in good weather.
