In addition, you will come across orchids, the Machhapuchhre massif, and the deepest gorge Kali Gandaki during the trek. 

Poon Hill is a point of view of Annapurna Base Camp Hike plus other peaks and sunrise and sunset. We could do this trek in all seasons.

The vast rhododendron forests are in full bloom in springtime, which gives the trek an extra attraction.

    I did the Annapurna base camp trek with Nepal Mountain Adventure. I had the best time with the best people ever! From the beginning untill the end the communication was great. They listened and helped us in so many ways. Everything is arranged so you don’t have to worry about anything but hiking. Not only was the hike (and everything that comes with it) breathtaking, the people I’ve met made this experience top notch. We simply had the best guide: Dip!
