Annapurna Base Camp is not only about the amazing beauty of the mountains you will witness when you get there, but it is also to an extent about every little trademark you experience throughout the trip. The breathtaking views of the bamboo, alpine flora, and the dense rhododendron forest preserved within the sanctuary will captivate you. Bamboo, alpine flora, and dense rhododendron forests look especially beautiful in the spring season.
In many places, you are elcomed by local ethnic people, mostly Gurungs and Magars. Observing their cultures, and traditions will certainly be a joy for your campaign. Informal conversations that get you on the way with the locals, shared with them with a smile that adds fuel to your journey when they greet you.
The Buddhist prayer flag that hangs in various places will garnish the peaceful state of your mind. There are two different ways to start the Annapurna base camp trek from Dhampus or Nayapul. We arrange the trekkers’ choices with both options.

Have just returned from my fourth trip to Nepal and as always Odyssey Treks organized everything superbly. We visited Makalu relatively late in the season and were rewarded with empty trails and amazing weather. Karma was as entertaining, friendly, and informative as ever along with Ang Dawa Sherpa who together made the three weeks perfect.
They also organized a few days to Helambu at short notice as I had some time spare, all done easily and professionally. Thanks for the company both and I will be back again. I cannot recommend Odyssey highly enough as a genuinely friendly, locally based company that provides not only unforgettable experiences but also great service at a very reasonable cost.
Thanks.

I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime. Always wanted to visit and see the Himalayas and to have completed the trip with the most excellent hosts really made the trip come alive. Odyssey took care of everything and ensured that we experienced real Nepalese hospitality. We climbed up to 3700 meters, saw Ganesh Himal, experienced true excitement on the trek, ate superbly produced fresh food along the route..and above all met some amazing people. Thanks to Karma, Rinji, and our fantastic porters…without you guys it wouldn’t have happened!! All the best. Alex
