Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days - Shortest ABC Trek
Annapurna Base Camp Trek in 7 days is the best deal for anyone wanting to complete their Annapurna Base Camp Trek in the shortest way possible. This is one of the most famous treks in the Himalayas, taking you to the foot of the 10th highest mountain in the world. Starting from Pokhara makes this trip cost-effective. Each step leads to the photogenic beauty of villages, rhododendron forests, rivers, and waterfalls. Views of mountains that welcome you since the beginning of the trek seem to get bigger and clearer moving further. Tea houses run by local people make staying in this rural and remote area comfortable. Staying with locals is also a great opportunity to learn about the isolated and preserved culture of the Gurung and Magar community.
Hiking inside the Annapurna Conservation Area also means a possible encounter with rare wild animals like the snow leopard, musk deer, and many more species. It is said that the Annapurna region is so diverse in flora, fauna, and geography that it can represent the whole of Nepal. Waking up in the lap of the Himalayas to beautiful sunrises over mountains and ending your day with golden sunsets is what makes the fatigue of trekking disappear. The cool breeze, chirping birds, and sound of flowing waterfalls also keep you motivated along the trek.
Reaching the destination and spending the night at the Base Camp away from light pollution also gives you the chance to stargaze millions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Another amazing thing you can do is hop into the hot spring in Jhinu Danda surrounded by the lush forests and the Himalayas.
