Annapurna Base Camp trek is a wonderful journey through gorgeous lakes, rhododendron forests, terraced paddy fields, and the scenic beauty of the Himalayas. Watching the snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna ranges, the local culture, the natural farmlands and the ecstatic beauty is a lifetime wonder. The 180 degree southern views of Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Nilgiri, Mt. Hiunchuli, Mt. Machhapuchhre, and other Annapurna massifs from the Gurung village of the world-famous Gurkha soldiers are incredibly mind-blowing.
Poon Hill is a magnificent stop on the trail from where you can have a glimpse of the gorgeous Himalayan peaks up close. The beautiful Annapurna Sanctuary protects the diverse flora and fauna and the landscapes and ethnic culture of the region. You will get ample opportunities to immerse in the cultures of the local Gurung and Magars. The Thakali and Loba villages at the foothills of Annapurna, Chortens and Buddhist monasteries on the trail create a tranquil atmosphere. More to that, it is a moderate level trekking journey up to Annapurna base camp where prior trekking experience is not mandatory. Likewise, risk of getting hit by altitude sickness is considerably low in comparison to other high altitude treks. There are plenty of teahouses on the trails so that the need of tenting is not necessary. Considering the reasons stated above, it is commendable for you to do the Annapurna base camp trekking.
