The trekking journey to Annapurna base camp offers the various textures of nature and culture. The vivid breathtaking mountain view from the initial moment makes this journey very special and the rejuvenation of taking a natural hot spring pool bath at the end of trekking is unforgettable. For sure this is the only soft and sweet trekking to the base camp of 8000 m mountain.
