The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) is a popular trekking destination in the Annapurna region of Nepal. It offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range, including the majestic Annapurna Massif and Machapuchare (Fishtail Peak). Here are some details about the Annapurna Base Camp trek.

The Annapurna Base Camp is situated at an altitude of 4,130 meters (13,549 feet). The ABC Trek covers 7,629 sq km through the Annapurna Conservation Area of Nepal. The trek usually starts from Nayapul or Phedi, both accessible by road from Pokhara. The duration of the Annapurna Base Camp trek can vary, but it usually takes around 8 to 10 days, depending on the specific route taken and the trekker's pace. The typical trekking route takes you through picturesque villages, terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and a variety of landscapes. Major stops along the way include Chhomrong, Sinuwa, Bamboo, Deurali and Machapuchare Base Camp before reaching Annapurna Base Camp.

The best time to trek to Annapurna Base Camp is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons when the weather is generally clear, and the views are stunning.

Trekkers are required to obtain the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) card before starting the trek. There are teahouses and lodges along the trekking route that provide accommodation and meals. On reaching thr base camp, we will be welcomed by the serene panoramic views of Annapurna I (8091 m), III and South, Gangapurna, Gandharvachuli and Machapuchare. The entire trail is a mixture of diverse terrains, including terraced fields, dense forests, alpine meadows and roaring Modi Khola river. Trekkers also get a chance to interact with the local communities and explore their culture and traditions.

Moreover, this trek involves ascending and descending trails, and some sections can be steep. Altitude-related issues can affect some trekkers, so acclimatization is crucial.

Before embarking on the Annapurna Base Camp trek, it's important to be well-prepared, physically fit, and equipped with the necessary gear. Always check for the latest information on permits and trail conditions.

Getting wasted on the Trails due to lack of proper fitness create problems for other group members.
