Reisroute
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is een tocht die trekkers een perfect ecosysteem biedt, dat wil zeggen een goed onderhouden omgeving met een aangename omgeving, frisse lucht en oogverblindende schoonheid van de natuur. We kunnen het eenvoudigweg de schoonheid van Moeder Natuur op haar best noemen. De Annapurna base camp trekking is een van de meest bezochte en favoriete trektochten van mensen over de hele wereld. Dit trektochtgebied is een prachtige combinatie van berglandschap en de rijke culturele diversiteit die een breed spectrum van weelderige landbouwgronden en mooie dorpjes doorsnijdt. Ook kunnen we tijdens de trektocht het lokale vrouwvolk romantische deuntjes zien neuriën tijdens hun dagelijkse karweitjes en koeien met vermiljoen bespatte voorhoofden die naar je lijken te glimlachen in een hartelijk welkom in hun thuisgebied. Het meest verbazingwekkende aan dit pad is dat het leidt naar een diepe kloof die zich uitstrekt tussen 2 pieken - Mt. Hiunchuli & de beroemde heilige Machhapuchre piek [fishtail]. Tijdens de tocht zien we dichte bamboe- en rododendronbossen door de smalle Modi Khola [rivier] vallei en de landschappen die we onderweg aanschouwen verwarmen onze kloppende harten.
De Annapurna Base Camp trektocht biedt een aantal van de meest spectaculaire berglandschappen in de regio en geeft een fascinerend inzicht in de diverse geografie en het terrein van Nepal. Deze unieke trektocht bevat een verscheidenheid aan lokale paden, die door bossen, dorpen en landbouwgrond met terrassen lopen. Trekkers zullen een ongeëvenaard berglandschap ervaren, omringd door enorme gletsjers en tegelijkertijd een unieke sfeer creërend waarin mensen het authentieke Nepalese leven en de Nepalese cultuur echt kunnen ervaren.
Dit verbazingwekkende natuurlijke landschap biedt bezoekers de kans om zich volledig onder te dompelen in de rust en eenzaamheid van de Himalaya zonder intensief technisch klimwerk.
