Tour Overview
The Annapurna Region, where you embark on the Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek, is not only one of the best regions but also home to the best trekking experience after the Everest Base Camp Trek. It offers everything you could ask for in a trek: hills, stunning landscapes, sub-tropical valleys, glacial alpine zones, forest hikes, sanctuary, and base camps. While you may think that the Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek revolves around mountains and culture, what you may not know is that it features moderately easy trekking trails. The trek offers majestic scenery that will leave a lasting impression on your mind, featuring views of Mt. Machapuchare (22,943 ft.), Mt. Dhaulagiri (26,794 ft.), and Mt. Annapurna South (26,545 ft.), among others. As you progress through the trek and reach the base camps, you'll witness even more breathtaking mountains than you anticipated. It is indeed a moment of pure joy. Additionally, spending a night in these mountains is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. ...more ...less
