During winter, high alpine meadows, terraced farmlands, beautiful snow-capped mountains, and lush rhododendron forests are incredible. The welcoming hospitality of the traditional Gurung and Magar villages makes the trekking trail vibrant and joyful.  Trekkers are fortunate to learn and experience the rich culture and lifestyle. The final destination, Annapurna Base Camp, sits in a natural amphitheater surrounded by some of the world’s highest mountains, including Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), and Hiunchuli (6,441 m).
