Annapurna Region, where you step into for Annapurna Base Camp Trek is not one of the best regions, but the region with the best trek that you can think of after Everest Base Camp Trek. With these, it has got all the aspects of the trek, such as hills, beauties, sub-tropical valley, glaciated alpine zone, hike, forest, sanctuary, and the base camps. If you think Annapurna Base Camp Trek is about the mountains and culture, then you have thought rightly, but what you do not know is, its trekking trails that are moderately easy. What you see while trekking is the majestic scenery that will trace on your mind. This includes the view of Mt. Machapuchare (22,943 ft.), Mt. Dhaulagiri (26,794 ft.) and Mt. Annapurna South (26,545 ft.). These are just some of the few mountains. As you reach the base camps during the trek, you will see the number of mountains more than you have estimated, and what could be the happiest moment to you than this. Another happiness is when you spend a night by these mountains. This is once in a lifetime experience. To have it, perhaps now is the time to imagine yourself doing Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The trekking trail of Annapurna Base Camp from beginning to end takes you to a dense forest of rhododendron and bamboo, to fast flowing glaciated rivers, to suspension bridges, to the traditional village of the Gurung people and shows the old customs being followed even in the modern era. The scenery also changes from a lush forest to a grass pasture to rocky passes and ultimately includes only the breath-taking snow-covered mountains. In addition to these, you will also reach a viewpoint called Poon Hill which showcases 360-degree view of the Annapurna Ranges. |
