Mt. Annapurna is the tenth tallest peak across the globe; it has the height of 8091 meters and the trekking journey to its base camp is one of the widest treks; it is at 4130 meters height.
Furthermore, you will reach your destination through Mt. Machapuchhre (Fishtail) which is admired by the Nepalese for its exclusive prettiness. Annapurna Base Camp is well-received by travelers ranging from the outdoor devotees, solo female traveler to hikers exploring in groups to Nepal.

ESSENTIAL TREK INFO
Good to Know

A teahouse or lodge provides the service of a restaurant, a hotel as well as a hang out place. Rooms have bed, pillows, and blankets. We do not have deluxe hotels on the upper regions so you have to accommodate in teahouses and lodges.
Food
Lunch and dinner are available at the tea houses. You will have to do your lunch in one of the tea houses during the trail. Each and every tea house offers the traditional Nepali meal namely the Daal Bhaat (Rice and lentils). Other options are also available like pizza, pasta, French fries and so on. Beverages are also available both cold drinks and alcoholic drinks. We recommend you to stay away from alcoholic drinks on the trek and bring water purification tablets.
Trekking Staff
The trekking staff includes guides and porters. The trekking guide is in charge of your trekking journey. You can talk to him or her about all of your problems if you have any during the journey. The guide is well trained and experienced when it comes to the matters of trekking, altitude sickness and medicines, first aid and emergency solutions.
Do note that a guide is a local person; s/he may have Basic English and may only know about the aspects related to trek.
The porters carry your luggage and are local citizens. On porter may carry around 20 to 25 kg weight. We provide one porter for two trekkers.
Respect Local Culture
Nepalese people are very friendly and cheerful so there is minimal chance of having any difficulty in adjusting here. While entering into some Hindu temples, do make sure whether or not non-Hindus are allowed to enter.
If you are permitted, make sure you do not take leather materials inside the temple and never walk around the temple and stupa in a clockwise direction. Do not forget to take permission for the authorized personnel when taking pictures.
