Annapurna Base Camp Trek
|
|
|
The Annapurna Base Camp is a high glacial basin lying north
of Pokhara. This magnificent amphitheatre is called a "sanctuary"
because of its natural serenity, beauty and the divine presence
of the Hindu goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna. This isolated
cirque of peaks can only be approached by one route, a deep
gorge that carves into the fortress of mountains between
Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli. Many of the peaks are over
7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as
well as Annapurna I and lll, Annapurna South, Gangapurna
and Glacier Dome.
The majestic scenery makes the trek to Annapurna Base
Camp (4200m), commonly known as Annapurna Sanctuary, one
of the most popular treks in Nepal. Enjoy mountain views,
thick bamboo and rhododendron forests and a mix of cultures.
