ABC Trek is known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek as you find yourself encircled and engulfed with the massifs of snowy mountains soaring into the heavens. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is phenomenal as well as a world-famous journey into the heartland of the majestic Himalayas. Providing an absolute view of the surrounding Annapurna Himalayan range and holy mountain Machhapuchre from the valley, the ABC trek is surely an experience you will remember!
The journey to ABC starts from the lowlands of fertile farmlands with green terraced fields and ascends through thick and green lush forests. Winding through narrow valleys, witnessing amazing landscapes, villages settling different ethnic groups, stunning sunrises with unmatched mountain views are among some of the trip's highlights. Because of its amiability set with an almost intentional vibe in serene nature, this trek is one of the most preferable, popular, and overall value for every trekker.
