Annapurna Base Camp
Overview
Five days through Nepal's most accessible high-mountain landscape — rhododendron forest and river valley give way to glacial moraine and the sheer granite walls of the Annapurna Sanctuary.The route climbs steadily from Pokhara's lake-level warmth into alpine air, with nights in mountain lodges along the way. No technical climbing, no special permits beyond the standard trekking pass — just sustained walking and some of the closest big-mountain views anywhere in the world.
