About 13 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek

13 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek is obviously a famous trek available for worldwide trekkers visiting Nepal. The trek takes you to a large number of principal mountain peaks belonging to the western area of the Great Annapurna Himalayas. These include Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Annapurna, Fang, Annapurna 3, Gangapurna and Machhapuchhare, all of which remain arranged in a precise way within a circle of about 10 miles diameter with a deep mountain glacier covered amphitheater at its center.

Further, by starting from the glacier basin, also recognized as Annapurna Sanctuary, Modi Khola starts its way in the southern direction within a narrow gorge at about 12,000 feet deep. Later on, in the south, you will find the gorge as opening widely and form a fertile valley i.e. domain of various Gurungs. Other than this, upper and middle portions of Modi Khola provide you with the best possible and short trekking routes of Nepal.

Location of the valley justifies an easy trek into the Kali Gandaki region belonging to the west. Although, you will find great heights of various ice walls and surrounding mountain peaks, floor of the valley remains in between 12,000feet and 14,000feet to provide comfortable yet enjoyable camping spots in pleasant weather.

13 Days Annapurna base camp trekking involves an amazing walk via diversified landscape and culture complete with terraced fields, rich mountain vistas, quaint villages of Gurung areas and a variety of fauna and flora. Mount Annapurna in Nepal is the 10th highest mountain worldwide and journey to the base camp of it is obviously a popular walk for everyone.

                            Annapurna Base Camp Trek

                            Emma,American Samoa

                            Loved my experience with Welcome Nepal Treks! Hari was very professional and ensured that everything went smoothly and as planned. At first I was a bit nervous to trek solo, but Hari made sure that I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. He even went out of his way to send some of my extra things on to Pokhara when I decided to end my trek there. We also went over needed gear the night before departure and he rented me a sleeping bag which saved me much time and hassle.

                            I also cannot say enough about the guide that was arranged for me, Amir. Throughout the two-week trek, Amir sure-handedly navigated the way. With 25+ years of experience, he knew the route like the back of his hand as well as many of the people I met along the way - he seems to be a friend to everyone on the circuit :) With him as my guide, I could not have felt more assured and looked-after. Amir truly does keep his clients in his heart!

                            One of the best Agency in Kathmandu

                            Lassi,India

                            We had very successful trekking in Annapurna rgion and 2 days chitwan jungle safari at the end of this May 2015, after the earthquakes. While other companies couldn't tell me how were the roads and the villages, Welcome Nepal treks did have all the information and was willing and able to send me there with an experienced and friendly guide mr parshuram. It was a lifetime experience! They really know how to take care of you and very well organized. Thank you so much I will recommend to go with Welcome Nepal Treks to everyone!

                            The Best Trekking and Tour Agency in Nepal

                            Simon,Malawi

                            I did a 13-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp with Welcome Nepal Treks in mid of May 2019. I knew Hari (owner) from my last trek from Lukla to Phakding in 2013 and decided to use his company's services again, due to the excellent service Welcome Nepal Treks provided me and my friend last time.

                            Hari and his team exceeded my expectations again, making my trek to Annapurna Base Camp a most enjoyable one. His top guide, Ganesh Simkhada was the star of the trip. A very knowledgeable and capable guide, Ganesh led the way and was even kind enough to assist me with my overweight backpack situation. He always comes up with clever solutions to any issues we faced along the way and proved to be a patient and affable travel companion.

                            I would certainly recommend Hari and Ganesh to anyone who wants to enjoy an amazing travel experience in Nepal.
