The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is an immensely popular adventure destination located in the western part of the Annapurna Himalaya Range. It offers breathtaking Himalayan views and diverse landscapes. The trek typically 7–10 days and is most enjoyable during spring and autumn, with 6-7 hours of walking required daily.

Moreover, the trek showcases diverse flora and fauna, including the elusive snow leopards and charming red pandas.
