ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP  (3566 meter (ABC)
For a short trek  with few altitude problems, the Annapurna region provides you with unparalleled access to spectacular horizons of Snowy peaks, so high that you'll find yourself looking twice before you believe that they are not clouds. As well as providing the views for which the trek is famous, the trail takes you through an ever-changing landscape of rice fields, misty forests and tiny local villages.
This 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.
Activities: Trekking
Best season: Mid February to May and October to Mid December
Grade: Moderate
Day 1: Pokhara -  Ghandruk (915m-1951m): Leave Pokhara early in the morning by bus or truck to Chandrakot (Birethati) or taxi to Phedi. From Phedi take a path steeply up the hill to your right towards Dampus. Walking along this ridge gives fantastic views of the mountains as you look for a lodge about Thorkha. If you go to Birethati turn right after crossing the river ( Modi) and aim to reach Ghandruk about 4-5 hours steep hill trial. Where there are good views of Machhapuchre (Fishtail) and Annapurna South for your rights stop in this pretty village. 
Day 2: Ghandruk - Chomrong ( 1951m � 1952m): If you are on the east side of the Modi river valley cross the river at Nayapool (New Bridge) and climb to Chomrong  via the hot spring which away prove a much needed drives ion. If you are on the west of the valley continue to Chomrong, which has plenty of lodge and good views of tomorrow walk. 
Day 03: Chomrong - Himalaya Hotel (1952 m - 3000m): As you leave Chomrong you enter land hot inhabited all the year round by Nepalis. Everything is carried in so prices rise with the altitude. Most pasties take 2 days to reach Base Camp but some take 3. There are some new lodges to stay at so rest when you;ve had enough. The trail is surprisingly up and down and can be quite broken in places so take care ! Aim to stay around Himalaya Hotel the first night. The excellent views of Machhapurchhre (fishtail ) pass as you begin to walk past in base. The valley narrows and the forest gives way to bamboo which becomes scrub. 
Day 04: Himalaya Hotel - Base Camp. (3000m - 3566m): The Valley begins to look very "Glacial" with its steep sides and eventually you climb the terminal mountains and turn left to begin to feel like you are entering the sanctuary you can stay at Machhapuchre Base Camp and visit to sanctuary the next day from there, but if you are happy with the altitude press on to stay the right at the Annapurna Base Camp. The weather can change very quickly here so the prepared and don't give up hope of good views in the morning.
