Annapurna Adventure, ook wel bekend als de Annapurna Base Camp trekking, is een van de pakketten die wij aanbieden en die het avontuur van een trekking door het prachtige en schitterende landschap van de bergtoppen van ons land omvat. De Annapurna is de 10e hoogste berg ter wereld en een trektocht naar het basiskamp van deze berg is een van de beroemdste trektochten die door wandelaars overal worden gemaakt. De trekking naar het Annapurna basiskamp is esthetisch aantrekkelijk en voert je door de levendige meerstad Pokhara met zijn lagunes en de waaier aan gebladerte met de verlegenheid van hoge ceders en de geur van suiker- en grove dennen.
De Annapurna berg wordt begrensd door de Kali Gandaki kloof in het westen en de Marshyangdi rivier in het noorden en oosten, en het hele massief en het omliggende gebied wordt beschermd door Annapurna Conservation Area, het eerste en grootste natuurbeschermingsgebied in Nepal. De Annapurna Base Camp Trek is een trekkingpakket dat alle voordelen biedt om de overwinningskracht van de Annapurna te ervaren. "Annapurna" betekent letterlijk "Vol van voedsel" in het Sanskriet en de bergtop, zwaar bedekt met een ragfijn laagje sneeuw, is adembenemend! Met het Annapurna Base Camp Trek pakket kun je dit stellaire wonder van dichtbij en zonder gedoe ervaren, samen met andere even stralende bergketens van Machhapuchhre, Himchuli, de Lamjung Himal, Fang, Annapurna I, II, III, Annapurna south en Gangapurna.
Annapurna Adventure/Annapurna Base Camp Trek is een van de meest geliefde trektochten vanwege de vriendelijkheid en de natuurpracht die je tijdens de tocht kunt ervaren. De trektocht begint op een lagere hoogte in het dorp Birethanti op de kruising van de Bhurungdi rivier en de Modi rivier voordat je Tikhe Dhunga bereikt, en gaat dan verder naar een hoger gelegen gebied waar je de verandering in de topografie en het klimaat tijdens het wandelen kunt ervaren.
De wandeling begint bij de drukte van de stad en leidt ons naar rustige en kalme dorpjes en groene rododendronbossen tot de weelde van besneeuwde vergezichten. We passeren de nederzettingen bij Nayapul helemaal tot aan Deurali, krijgen inzicht in het leven van de lokale bevolking en bewoners en ervaren de cultuur en traditie van de mensen uit de nabije omgeving. De prachtige zonsopgang en de mystieke zonsondergang, de verandering van de kleur van de lucht van stralend blauw naar de tinten van brandend goud in de schemering kunnen we allemaal ervaren vanuit Ghorepani en Poon Hill terwijl we onze trektocht naar het Annapurna Base Camp voortzetten. We kunnen het wonder van de ondergaande zon op de bergen helemaal in ons opnemen; er is gewoon geen woord voor de hypnotiserende bijzonderheid ervan.
