The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the best trekking routes in Nepal, popular as a “classical route”. The trekking area is to the north of Pokhara valley and just 27 km of aerial distance behind Mt. Fishtail (Machhapuchhere). The main tourist destinations in the area can be viewed on the way up to the Mt Annapurna Basecamp, from where the beautiful ranges of Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna and Annapurna (I, II, III, and IV) can be witnessed up close. The walk is mostly through beautiful terraced lands and forests of rhododendron (national flower of Nepal).
