Annapurna Base Camp Trek (also called Annapurna Sanctuary trek) is still one of the most popular treks in Nepal. For a short trek with few altitude problems, the Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking provides you with unparalleled access to spectacular horizons of snowy peaks. A trek to Annapurna Base Camp combines some of the most fantastic mountain scenery with a fascinating insight into the life of middle hill Nepalese. The trail takes us through an ever-changing landscape of rice fields, misty forests and lowland local villages to the glacier. It offers a fine opportunity to surround oneself with Himalayan Peaks especially witnessing the glacier basin of Annapurna Sanctuary formed by Annapurna, Machhapurchre (Fishtail, Himchuli, and Manaslu).

Annapurna Sanctuary trek used to be a complicated trek due to problems with food and lodge. Now there are many new facilities between Ghandruk and Base Camp along this trail only used by trekkers. The trek can be approached by at least three different routes. Here I have described one of three options.
