Annapurna Base Camp Trekking
Nepal has a numerous of adventure activities like trekking, peak climbing, rafting, bungee jumping, white water rafting and more that make your holiday filled with full of excitement and fun. Here today I am sharing you my experience about trekking in Annapurna region of Nepal.
Annapurna Base Camp trekking is one of the most popular trekking of Nepal that offers you a magnificent view of Himalaya, landscapes and to the diverse culture. Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp starts from Pokhara taking an hour of drive to Nayapool and from here trekkers can begin their trek to Annapurna Base Camp. The first few days you will be walking through rice fields, Gurung and Magar villages and rhododendron and oak forest, since the start of the trek you will already start to feel the real taste of Nepal trekking and feel the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking colors. The first day of the trek will be about 3-4 hours walking gradually up and down and it is one of the easy trekking days among the entire trip of Annapurna. In the first day of Annapurna Trek, you have the option to choose either to spend a night at Tikhedhunga which is a little Gurung village located in the side of Modi Khola or continue two hours more walk to Ulleri village which is very steep ascending and located at the middle of the hill from where you have possibility for the better view of mountains and landscapes, however generally most of the trekkers who are approaching to Annapurna Base Camp make their stop at Tikhedhunga to not make the first day very tough.
The next day of Annapurna Base Camp trekking will finally take you to the Ghorepani village which is the settlement of Pun tribes of People at an elevation of 2865 meter above the sea level. Many of you can definitely be impressed with this adventure walk through forests and especially in spring the blooming rhododendron make all the forest very colorful. Ghorepani is one of the biggest villages that you will pass along the trip to Annapurna Base Camp trekking. This place is one of the charms of this trip because in a clear weather you can see stunning peaks of Annapurna including Dhaulagiri above 8000-meter mountain from the place where you will be staying the night. You can feel the warm hospitality of locals and nice and comfortable accommodation with delicious meals will start the lighten your holiday.
On the third day of your Annapurna Base Camp trekking, you will be going to Poon Hill to see the sunrise and panoramic view of Himalaya which definitely will make you feel the worth of two days hike up there. After seeing the sunrise and spending some time in Poon Hill that is the viewpoint of Annapurna short trek as well then you will be descending to hotel take breakfast and continue your day trip to Tadapani another tiny village located in the middle of forests. From here you will have a great view of Annapurna South, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhre. Accommodation and meals at Tadapani are quite basic but the fascinating view makes worth to make a stop for the night here. From this place, you have few options to continue your trek either to Ghandruk which people who are doing a short trek in Annapurna will continue and the another is Khopra Danda trek also the same trekkers who are taking a short trip in Annapurna will take that trail. As you will be going to Annapurna Base Camp you have to take the trail that is leading towards Chomrong. Chomrong is a place of stay during you Annapurna Base Camp trekking and it has a great view of Annapurna Himalaya and Machhapuchhre too. Now every day and you will be getting to smaller villages. As high as you go there is less settlement of people and teahouses too. After passing the Chomrong village and now all of your dreams is to be at Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp which can be reached after two days of the trek to Dovan and Deurali. Hike to these days are still nice but places have fewer tea houses and during peak season time trekkers have shared the room or even have to sleep in dining or even in tents too. Anyway, without taking this challenge, you wouldn't be able to reach main destination MBC and ABC
Now reaching to Machhapuchhre will make you feel close to Himalaya and stunning sunset view from Machhapuchhre and sunrise over Annapurna is just the dream of Annapurna Base Camp Trekking. Mostly trekkers spend a night at MBC and next day morning hike up to ABC from where the closest view of Annapurna I, Himchuli, Annapurna South, Nilgiri and many peaks can be seen. The glacier seen from Annapurna Base Camp is pretty amazing too. In a clear weather view from Annapurna Base Camp trek has just great and words are always lacking to explain the scenery seen from here.
Now after reaching the Annapurna Base Camp few days are waiting for descending and on the way back taking a bath at natural hot spring is recommened too after a freezing cold up there. Descending way is still beutiful too which offers magnificant ridges of hill, himalaya view, rice fileds, local settlements and flora fauna.
