The ultimate destination of this trek is Annapurna Base Camp, at 4130 meters. This is also where you have the spectacular panoramas of Annapurna Range, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and Dhaulagiri. 

Besides, the trek incorporates diverse terrain, culture, vegetation, and wildlife. The trails showcase beautiful cascades along with blooming rhododendrons and orchids. As a whole, you experience the endless beauty of nature. 

5 days ABC trek is also an excellent opportunity to witness the cultural ethnicity of residents within Annapurna Sanctuary. The mountain lifestyle, culture, and traditions of tribes like Gurung and Thakalis are fascinating. Moreover, ABC passes through MBC (Machhapuchhre Base Camp). To visit two base camps in one trip is an exciting adventure. 

This trek is possible at any time of the year. But Spring (March to May) and Autumn (Sept to Nov) are the best trekking seasons. Regarding permits, you will need an ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Protection) permit and a TIMS card.
