Fast-Paced Yet Fully Immersive
The Annapurna Express Trek is perfect for trekkers seeking maximum Himalayan exposure in minimal days. You’ll trek through dense rhododendron forests, charming Gurung villages, and glacial valleys, reaching Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m) — all within a week-long itinerary.
Annapurna Base Camp – The Crown Jewel
Standing at the foot of Annapurna I (8,091m), this trek delivers an unforgettable panorama of towering peaks like Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and Annapurna South. The sunrise over the snowy amphitheater is one of the most iconic mountain views in the world.
