About Trip:
Among the most famous and sought-after trekking regions, the Annapurna Base Camp is one of the most naturally gorgeous and popular regions pursued by thousands of trekkers every year. With a fantasy-like setting, the region gives a mystical vibe to the trekkers aspiring to explore the region. With Gurung and other ethnic communities providing heart-warming hospitality throughout the trek, you cannot help but feel awed by the tender reception.
The trek starts from Pokhara then drive to Nayapul(1070m) and trekking ending point we can have as per our trekking days. Trekkers go through many ethnic Gurung and Magar villages of the region, like Ghandruk, Chhomrong, and Deurali among many others. All along the journey, towering views of the Annapurna peaks loom over the track quite majestically. Furthermore, the trekking trail also goes through the Jhinu Dana village where there are naturally occurring hot springs famous for their healing properties. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a moderate trekking trip where trekkers are presented with awe-inspiring views of peaks like the Annapurna range I (8091m), Annapurna II (7937m), Annapurna III (7555m), Annapurna IV (7525m), Machhapuchhre Himal (6997m), the Hiunchuli Peak (6441m) and many more. It is a great opportunity to learn about the ethnic Magar and Gurung cultures of the region as well. The trekking trail goes through lush woods of rhododendron and alpine trees and the terrain is adorned with many brooks and streams. The Annapurna Base camp Trek incorporates the best features of the region to give trekkers an unforgettable experience. The wonderful landscape of the region presents some of the most astounding ecosystems of Nepal as well. The vast snowy acreages at the higher elevation and the transition of the alpine woodlands into sparse fields make trekking quite magical. The best times to do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek are during the months of March to May and September to December.

MalaysiaPublished: Saturday, April 13, 2019Excellent services
I feel great to have Mr Ashok, Ganga and the team as my trek agent to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). They are professional, experience and caring. They also concern on our safety and health. We had not much problem to go through avalanches and bad weather (snowing) with the team assisting. They are providing servicing with their “heart”, I will definitely recommend and return for other treks with them.

MalaysiaPublished: Wednesday, April 10, 2019Great trip
Destination Unlimited came through with flying colors again for us!!! Great job!!!! Helmed by Ashok Niroula, everything was well organized — good lodgings, a wonderful, amicable, responsible guide — in the person of a young man named Badal Rai, who made sure we were safe, comfortable & well fed all the way. It was a wonderful trek — despite rain, hail, snow & a near avalanche above us (Badal reacted very quickly & whisked us to safety to wait it out before continuing onward). Many Thanks Ashok & Badal!!!
