Tour Overview

The Annapurna Region, where you embark on the Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek, is not only one of the best regions but also home to the best trekking experience after the Everest Base Camp Trek. It offers everything you could ask for in a trek: hills, stunning landscapes, sub-tropical valleys, glacial alpine zones, forest hikes, sanctuary, and base camps. While you may think that the Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek revolves around mountains and culture, what you may not know is that it features moderately easy trekking trails. The trek offers majestic scenery that will leave a lasting impression on your mind, featuring views of Mt. Machapuchare (22,943 ft.), Mt. Dhaulagiri (26,794 ft.), and Mt. Annapurna South (26,545 ft.), among others. As you progress through the trek and reach the base camps, you'll witness even more breathtaking mountains than you anticipated. It is indeed a moment of pure joy. Additionally, spending a night in these mountains is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Highlights

Machapuchare and Annapurna Base Camps

Himalayas to Terai Belt of Nepal

14-Feb-2019

Travel Max Guide (TMG) is a well equipped, trained and professional team for the adventure in Nepal. I was a awesome trip to Manaslu circuit and back to Chitwan national park. On the trekking they were so sincere and concern for the security, safety and health. It was more excited and outstanding for me because it was the first time for Nepal, got the opportunity to see the Himalayas of Nepal. People of Nepal are so friendly. TMG guide is very well manage and informative to the clients. After that I went to the chitwan national park for the safari. Thank you John from your great support that you did for me. It was beyond our itinerary. We had the local Tharu food, cart riding and moterbike trip to Shaktichor where you can find the indigenous people Chepang. Got some time to spend with them. I really like it. Will see you in Nepal very soon. Thank you once again

Wonderful trip to base camp

06-Dec-2019

Though l live in the USA, I usually go back to Nepal to visit my family and friends. We never opt to spend our travel and tour expenses with any travel agencies as we don’t usually show interest. But beyond my expectations travel max guide was phenomenal. One of my friends suggested me to try them and I booked the package for 2 weeks trip to Annapurna base camp. I was with my wife, however, we adjusted with the group of other 8 foreigners. Throughout the trip, the team was very supportive, knowledgeable and took us to the destination with much care and hospitality. My wife was even happier than me with the whole team and the journey we spent together to reach a higher altitude of Annapurna. Nevertheless, I was tried every single day I loved the spectacular views and those tall Himalayas' series I observed during the trip were unprecedented. Those small huts and people’s small houses made out of stones and raw mud were luring and well fascinating Eventually, after enjoying the daring trip, we came back on the night of the final (14th) day with love and appreciation to the travel max guide. I will definitely be back with you guys once I come back again. I suggest others to go and try the Travel Max Guide team for their praiseworthy effort.
