Annapurna base camp Trekking is a moderate nature trek that starts at Phedi, a short drive of about 45 minutes from Pokhara, which takes you to the foot [Base Camp, 4130m] of Mt. Annapurna, one of the most magnificent peaks in the world. We enter the Modi Khola valley and as we gain height the valley narrows to a steep sided gorge until we pass through the “gates” of the Sanctuary to emerge into its heart, a beautiful alpine amphitheatre surrounded by 6000 meter snow-capped mountains. The enormous south face of Annapurna 1 dominates the basin and there are spectacular views of Machapuchare. We are surrounded by an array of ice-bound peaks, snowfields, glaciers, great rock buttresses and ice flutings as we witness magical sunrises and sunsets, watching mountains glow pink and gold. The return walk is even more interesting as the trek winds around different ridges towards Ghorepani poon hill,(Ghorepani poon Hill 3210m is probably the one of the best view point of Annapurna trekking tour ), where you witness breathtaking views of an early morning sunrise where a red halo seeps through glistening gaps over the snow capped peaks of the Annapurna Himalaya range , Dhaulagiri , Nilgiri, Fishtail, Hiunchuli, Lamjung Himal etc. The sceneries seen throughout this trek grace the landscape of the Himalayas where imagination defines the beauty of nature as an experience that can never be forgotten. After great Himalayan scenery from Ghorepani poon , trails leads continue descend via Uilleri and Tikhedhunga than by private vehicle drive from Nayapul to pokhara.
