Starting just a short drive from the beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara, the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek is one of the most legendary hiking routes in the world. This trail takes you through a breathtaking variety of landscapes—from terraced rice paddies and lush rhododendron forests to high-altitude landscapes surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks.
