Apart from the Annapurna 1 peak, the Annapurna massif includes thirteen peaks over 7,000 metres (23,000 ft), and sixteen more over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft). Our journey begins in Pokhara, widely known as the ‘Lake City’ that offers magnificent views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhare, and Annapurna. Throughout our journey we will encounter cascading waterfalls, beautiful villages, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron forests, and amazing mountain vistas before reaching the base of the mighty Annapurna. Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with outstanding views. If you wish to avoid crowds and enjoy some alone time with nature then taking this trip during winter (Dec., Jan. and Feb.) could also be an option. However, the temperature during winter could be harsh, while during Summer or Monsoon seasons (June to Aug.) there will be rain. This 11-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a shorter trip catering for time-pressed travelers. You may opt for the longer Annapurna Sanctuary Trek – 14 Days if you would like to maximize your adventure. 11 Days -ANNAPURNA BASE https://www.tourradar.com/t/169802 CAMP TREK Day 1: Kathmandu Kathmandu, Start Point Nepal DAY 01: Arrival in Kathmandu (1,300m/4,264ft) You will be welcomed by an amazing view of The Himalayas as you approach Kathmandu.
