Overview
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a unique experience for the adventurers. The trek trail is home to typical Gurung and Poon Magar ethnic groups who live a traditional life in beautiful villages including Ghandruk and Chhomrong. Their unique culture, languages, lifestyles and their “typical dress ups” in the background of Rhododendron forests will draw the attention of the trekkers.
Poon Hill is the view point from where trekkers can see the majestic views of the Annapurna Range, the Dhaulagiri Range, the Machhapuchhre and the Manaslu region.
