Consisting of many mountains
together Annapurna base camp trek is a journey which allows trekkers and
mountaineers to have exceptional view of many mountains together. Annapurna I,
Hiunchuli, Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna IV
etc. are some of the mountains in Annapurna region. Mountains in Annapurna
region are not the tallest because they rise in the heart of Himalayas.
Annapurna region is extremely
beautiful and packed with natural beauty. It starts with travelling to Pokhara
by bus or plane as it is the gateway for camp. Pokhara itself is beautiful lace
filled with lakes and temples. The trip starts with trekking to Nayapul then to
Tikhedhunga, Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chhomrung, Deurali and finally to the base
camp. The trek differs according to travelling companies but most of them
prefer clock-wise treks like mentioned above. Trekking through all these places
lets us explore many check points for seeing the mountain range. Among the Poon Hill being the most popular allowing the view of ten combinations of mountains.
Traditional Gurung community and
cultural villages is another most attractive feature of Annapurna circuit trek.
Every traveller enjoys the culture ethnicity followed by this community along
with traditional “Thakali” food. With
the trial of terraced lands, dense beautiful forest of rhododendron and the
Gurung community the track might seem easier but it is considered to be one of
the most difficult tracks. As the slippery tracks and upward highlands makes
the trip both mentally and physically exhausting. The Annapurna base camp trek
is fruitful in certain seasons as seeing the mountain cluster is the main
reason for such intimidating journey.
The actual trip to base camp has
continuously changing tracks while some might have lowlands and some highlands.
The track throughout the year is wet and slippery but it gets more dangerous
during rainy season during which trip should be avoided. Annapurna range is
filled with mountains while some go further by trying to ascend the mountain
itself the base camp is a fulfilling itself. Annapurna base camp trek is for
the travellers, trekkers and explorers who love new challenges and experiences.
