ABC is located in a high glacial valley, lying 40 km directly north of Pokhara. This oval-shaped valley is surrounded by high mountains, known as the Annapurna Sanctuary.
There is only 1 way to approach the valley, on foot via a narrow gorge between the mountains of Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre. This makes it a true wilderness destination.
Base Camp itself is a picturesque valley, where you can enjoy stunning views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks. Because of the high mountains on all sides, ABC receives only 7 hours of sunlight a day, mid-summer.
This is a place of natural beauty and tranquility, where you can experience the raw power of the mountains and connect with the natural world in a profound way.
