Trip Introduction


 

Annapurna Base Camp Trek region in Nepal has been wildly recognized as a naturalist’s paradise. Annapurna base camp trekking 9 days /tour region is a very popular area that offers a dramatic trekking experience for trekkers from all over the world.

This is ABC Trekking 9 days but one can do 2 to 21 days trekking/tour in the Annapurna region. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors some of the rarest animals including snow leopards and blue sheep. Other areas of Annapurna trekking region are home to bird species such as the multi-colored Impeyan, Kokal, blood pheasant amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies, and insects. Many plant species native to Nepal are found in the forest of Annapurna trekking region. The Annapurna conservation area has 100 varieties of orchids and some of the richest temperate rhododendron forests in the world.

For thousands of years, people of diverse ethnic backgrounds have scratched a livelihood out of Annapurna’s steep hillsides. The advent of tourism and the phenomenal rise in human population has triggered environmental deterioration. In 1968 Nepal’s King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched the Annapurna Conservation Area Project in order to protect this pristine gift from nature.

Enjoy this 9-day trek through some of the most spectacular hills and mountains in the entire world.

    9 day Annapurna Base Camp Trek The ABC trek is a great easy-medium level trek even for less experienced travellers. It boasts a great variety of beautiful scenery throughout the days to keep you interested, from green forest, rocky riverside, waterfalls, bamboo forest and, of course, snowy mountains! I was lucky enough to get an amazing guide, Binod Adhikari, and a very lively porter, Nikesh Chhetri! They were both extremely accomodating, friendly and fun, just adding to the trip, while also keeping an eye out for us. While going for a quick photo I dropped my phone (silly) a few meters off a steep snowy ledge. Nikesh actually tied himself to a rope and went down to get it back for me. Astounding commitment! Their companionship was one of the best parts of the whole thing for me. I recomend looking them up if you can. The package includes one item for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner, as well as one tea or coffee per day. You’ll stay in good lodges/tea houses every night, no tent required. And we didnt even need sleeping bags. It goes as high as 4130m, but very gradually, so even though some trekkers get altittude sickness, I didnt feel anything except acomplishment. All in all it was an amazing climb that yielded some great moments and hopefully some lasting friendships. I highly recomend the ABC trek, Nepal Lion Tours, Binod and Nikesh.

    I had a fantastic trek with Nepal Lion Tours. I did the Annapurna Trek. My guide and porter we’re so cool, patient, and helpful from the start to the end of the trek. The guide and porter were fun to hike with and they made sure all my needs were taken care of along the way. The places they took me were beautiful and the trek was challenging but not at a pace to be uncomfortable. I think Annapurna Trek is a good trek for someone who has some experience trekking or has none and wants to try it out. the company took care of everything necessary to pull of a great trek. It was stress free and everything is taken care of so you can just enjoy hiking the Nepali countryside. Shiva set up everything wonderfully from the home office and took care of any matters which arose. I had an issue with a bus ticket which the bus company had made a mistake. Shiva took care of the problem in the off hours. This is a great company with great people that will look after you while trekking in Nepal. I highly recommend them, and I look forward to trekking with them in Langtang and later Everest Base Camp.

    The trip was beautiful and we were able to adjust our plan and do the whole trip in 8 days instead of 9 days.The company was helpful when we did want to make some adjustments to our trip. Our guide was very helpful and ensured that we had a room, show fixing glue or whatever we needed.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Nepal Lion We booked a nine-day ABC-trek with Nepal Lion Treks. Already before and throughout the trek, we felt very comfortable receiving all the necessary information from Shiva (office) and our great guide Binod! Binod spoke sufficient English and had a close eye on our well-being all along the trek. He took care of everything (e.g. food, booking the teahouses, getting blankets, checking on symptoms of altitude sickness) and was fun to have around. So we could concentrate on the main things: Hiking, hiking and hiking ;-). The trek is really awesome and leads you through many different climates and landscapes! If this is your first real trek, you will most likely find it a bit strenuous but you will be rewarded by magnificient views and a great experience. Nepal Lion Tours assists you with personally tailoring the trek to your own needs and schedule and is flexible to adapt and make changes even during the trip. E.g., we decided to spend the last night of the program in Pokhara instead of Kathmandu and Shiva arranged for our additional luggage (which we left at the hotel in Kathmandu) to be brought directly to the Airport so we could directly continue with our onward flight. I would highly recommend a tour operator like Nepal Lion Treks when you are on a limited time budget and don‘t want to have to worry about all the organisational bits and pieces of such a trip!
