ABC trip information:

Annapurna Base Camp trekking is the most exciting popular trekking destinations in Nepal. The Annapurna sanctuary / base camp trek is a hike into the dazzling natural amphitheater formed by the staggeringly beautiful peaks of the giants-Annapurna I, Glacier Dom, Gangapurna, Annapurna Fang and the Fistail peak of Machhaputchre. Although there is only one entrance to the sanctuary itself, we follow locally known, lesser used approaches and exit routes on our primer annapurna Base Camp trek. The vast amphitheater of the Annapurna sanctuary is encircled by the famous Himalayan peaks- the "Fishtails" spire of Machhaputchre (6997m) Gangapurna (7454m), Annapurna I (8091m), the unclimbed Fang (7647m and Annapurn South (7273m). The only approach follows the Modi Khola valley through forest of oak,rhododendron and bamboo, passing through local Gurung village to a world of soaring peaks.
