Annapurna Base Camp Trek 12 dagen

The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek in Nepal was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. It was a good combination of experience and excitement, sometimes tough but often very exiting. Our trek began in a lush bamboo jungle that took us through tea houses and stunning landscapes. As we ascended higher, the scenery changed dramatically from dense forest to icy Himalayas mountains. The tranquility and spirituality overwhelmed us as we reached higher viewpoints as we also witnessed the nature sculpture of Buddha on the mountain. The trek was made more enjoyable with a very experienced, fun and friendly tour guide (Dipak) and porter (prajil). They provided helpful guidance on the terrain, suggested appropriate walking pace to avoid altitude sickness and avalanche. They taught us to embrace the mountain life and encouraged us to take things 1 step at a time with their favourite motto “EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY”. The 5 days trek brought us through four seasons in just a day. We started from hotspring at lower elevation and ended in snow at over 4000m. The rewarding views of the Annapurna range were aesthetically stunning - from Machapuchare's fish tail summit to the graceful slopes of Annapurna South. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp at over 4100m was a dream came true for all of us. While the trek was physically demanding, the life-changing experience of being immersed in the Himalayas made every step worthwhile.
