The Annapurna Base Camp trek is one of the most popular treks in the world.

It literally brings you face to face with an eight thousander – for a moderate-difficult trek, this is incredible!

The fascinating Annapurna massif includes the world’s tenth highest peak. Annapurna I (8,091 m) holds an almost fatal attraction for mountaineers.

Mt. Machapuchare which resembles a fishtail is just one of the unique mountains you will find on the trek.

It has the highest fatality ratio among the eight thousanders. This formidable aura apart, the ABC trek holds several treasures for the mountain lover.
