Tour Description edited

The Annapurna Base Camp with Poon Hill Trek is a 14-day journey through the stunning scenery of the Annapurna region and is one of the best trekking destinations in Nepal. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas, lush forests, terraced farmland, and traditional villages, providing an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. This trek is a perfect choice for those seeking a more immersive and fulfilling adventure than shorter treks like the Annapurna Balcony Trek or Short Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. This trek offers an unforgettable experience for trekkers, as it showcases the beauty of the Himalayas, passing through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and quaint villages along the way. 

A typical Annapurna Base Camp trek route is 110 kilometers (68 miles) long. However, this measurement can vary slightly depending on the specific trail you follow and any optional diversions you decide to take.

The trek begins in the bustling city of Kathmandu, making its way to Pokhara, where trekkers can take in the stunning views of the Himalayas and explore the city's vibrant culture and history. From there, the trek takes trekkers on a journey through beautiful forests and terraced farmland, passing by traditional villages where trekkers can learn about the local culture and customs.

As the trek progresses, the scenery becomes more dramatic, with towering mountains, snow-capped peaks, and glaciers coming into view. The highlight of the trek is the Annapurna Base Camp, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. Along the way, trekkers will have the opportunity to visit the famous Poon Hill viewpoint, which offers panoramic views of the Himalayas and is a popular spot for sunrise and sunset. The trek also includes several rest days, which allow trekkers to explore the surrounding area, relax, and acclimate to the high altitude.

The trek culminates at the Annapurna Base Camp, where trekkers will spend several days exploring the area and taking in the stunning views of the Himalayas. The return journey takes trekkers back through the same route, offering a chance to reflect on the incredible journey and appreciate the beauty of the region.

In conclusion, the Annapurna Base Camp with  Poon Hill Trek is an unforgettable adventure that offers stunning views of the Himalayas and a chance to experience the culture and traditions of the local communities. Whether you're an experienced trekker or a nature lover, this trek is sure to provide a lifetime of memories.
