#Annapurna #Base #Camp and#Poon #Hill #Trek is one of the most popular and trekked routes in Nepal. Second only to the Everest region in terms of popularity, the Annapurna region is the most diverse and versatile regions in Nepal as it houses the wettest, driest, windiest places of the country. The trekking trail goes passes through beautiful and culturally rich Nepalese hamlets as we trek through cascading waterfalls, terraced farms, mystical rhododendron forests, lush grasslands to reach the base of the regal Annapurna Massif.

Located in the northwestern Nepal, the 55 kilometers long Annapurna Massif consists of one peak above elevation of 8,000m, 13 peaks above 7,000m elevation, and over 16 peaks above 6,000m elevation. The Annapurna Base Camp and Pun Hill trek offers ample time to rejoice in the close company of the mountains. The trek will be an extremely gratifying one as we will be able to witness the majestic peaks like Annapurna 1, 2, and 3 ,Gangapurna ,Himchuli and Machhapuchhre amongst equally alluring satellite peaks. The trek is also often described as the best of both worlds, because alongside the Himalayan beauty and experience it offers to trekkers, it also opens the doors to the rich civilizations of the Gurungs and the Puns residing in the sub-alpine regions of western Nepal. As we pass through the diverse vegetation, elevations, and civilization, Annapurna Base Camp and Pun Hill Trek offers the journey to explore the unexploited nature and culture waiting for you in Nepal.

The journey begins with a scenic 6-hour-long bus ride from Kathmandu to the Lake City, Pokhara. A tourist marvel in itself, Pokhara is also the gateway to most of the trekking regions of Western Nepal. From Pokhara, we will commence our trekking towards Ghorepani and Pun Hill – famous villages and viewpoints of the trail within the Annapurna Conservation Area. After savoring the splendid views of the western mountains and indulging in the rich traditions of the natives with a visit to the local museum, we will continue our trek northwards. After proper acclimatization, we will trek towards the sub-alpine, arid landscape with the views of Mt. Annapurna and Mt. Machhapuchhre looming in the backdrop. After exiting Ghorepani and Pun Hill, we will trek through the magical forests of rhododendron, birch, fir, and pine to trek towards our main destination – Annapurna Base Camp. In the jungles, we might have sighting of Musk Deers, Pheasants, and Himalayan Thar. We will trek through Chomrong, Dovan and Machhapuchhre Base Camp to finally reach the base of Mt. Annapurna. From here, we can have 360-degree views of the soaring silver peaks, and colossal Annapurna and Gangapurna glaciers which originate from the massif.

Since the Annapurna Base camp route goes clockwise, we will not be returning from the same route. We will trek down to Jhinu Danda from Bamboo, where we can take bath in hot springs. From there, we will trek down to Pokhara through Potana and Kande. The trek is of moderate difficulty even though it comprises of higher elevations. Anyone in good physical health and previous trekking experience is a good candidate for the trek.
