21D NEPAL ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREK PACKAGE 2024

The photo below is a view overlooking the Annapurna Base Camp. The background is the spectacular face of Macchapuchare (Fishtail Mountain) if you were to view from the shrine on top of the moraine wall just above the camp. The Annapurna Sanctuary is stunningly beautiful and has no fewer than 8 peaks, each over 7,000 metres and is truly considered to be one of the most magnificent locations in Nepal.

Behind to the right of the photo is Annapurna South, and to the left is Annapurna I, the 10th highest mountain in the world standing at an amazing 8,091m above sea level.

The Annapurna Himal region of Nepal encompasses 2,600 sq. kms. of mountains terrain, containing some of the world's highest peaks and deepest river valley. The area has been wildly recognised as a naturalist's paradise. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors some of the rare snow leopards and blue sheep.

Other areas of the region protect bird species such as the multi-coloured Impeyan, Kokla, blood pheasant amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies and insects. Many plants native to Nepal are found in this forest. The 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 its steep hillsides. The advent of tourism and the phenomenal rise in human population has triggered a process of environmental deterioration.

In 1968 Nepal's King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched the Annapurna Conservation Area Project. With international help, the project aims to integrate environmental conservation with 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 its most important function has been to develop and teach courses on environmental education in local schools.
