The Annapurna Base Camp Trek (ABC) is also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. Also, it is one of the most popular short and medium length treks in Nepal. Further, Nepal Lions Tours and Treks provides a Complete travel guide to Annapurna Base Camp and Travel Guide to Annapurna Trekking. Moreover, the Annapurna trekking region in Nepal has been wildly recognized as a naturalist’s paradise.
Next, the Annapurna trekking/tour region is a popular dramatic place for trekkers all over the world. For instance, one can do 4 to 21 days of trekking/tour in the Annapurna region. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors some of the rare snow leopards and blue sheep.
Other areas of the Annapurna trekking region protect bird species such as the multi-colored Impeyan, Kokal, blood pheasant amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies, and insects.
Many plants native to Nepal are found in the forest of the Annapurna trekking region. The Annapurna conservation area has 100 varieties of orchids and some of the richest temperate rhododendron forest in the world.
For thousands of years, people of diverse ethnic backgrounds have scratched a livelihood out of Annapurna steep hillsides. The advent of tourism and the phenomenal rise in the human population has triggered a process of environmental deterioration. In 1968 Nepal’s former King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched the Annapurna Conservation Area Project.
With international support, the project aims to integrate environmental conservation with a development that can sustain the area’s reserve base. The project aspires to improve local living standards, protect the environment, and develop a more “sensitive” form of tourism.
One of ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project)s most important function has been to develop and teach courses on environmental education in local schools and communities.

You can go to Annapurna Base Camp trek any time of the year. Yet, the monsoon is not a good time. There is heavy rainfall during the evening or night but the dark clouds are ever-present. This means bad to no view of the beautiful peaks. It also means leeches, mosquitoes, possible landslides, and slippery roads. But, this is the time when animals are most active. If you are a keen biologist, then monsoon is best for you.
Clicks here for Travel Guide to Annapurna Trekking Season. The Four Season for Trekking are as follows:
(1) Spring (March to May)
(2) Monsoon/ Summer (June to August)
(3) Autumn (September to November)
(4) Winter (December to February)
It is the best time to do the ABC trek. Autumn is a dry season that offers a clear blue sky and moderate temperature. This is the best time to do any trek in Nepal and is, therefore, very crowded.
Winter is another season to trek for Annapurna but you must be well prepared due to cold and Snow. Dry air and clear sky with the best visibility but, during winter, it will be very cold and will snow. If you plan to trek in December, you need to prepare well with appropriate packaging.
Spring is the best time to do the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Watch out for the avalanche though. Listen to the locals for the news about the avalanche ahead. In spring, the trail will bloom with red and white rhododendrons and many other exotic flowers found in this region, a good time to go for botanists.
