Overview
Annapurna North Base Camp is a newly opened, less-visited, off-the-beaten-track in the Annapurna region of Nepal. This trek is the best adventurous alternative for Annapurna Base Camp. The trek route was first discovered by the French Expedition Team lead by Maurice Herzog and now is getting popular after 70 something years.
This hidden Himalayan Paradise is protected by its remoteness and exposes trekkers to the wilderness and tranquility of the Himalayas. It offers trekkers to encounter the soaring snow-capped peaks including Annapurna 1, Nilgiri, Fishtail (Machhapuchhre), Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Dhaulagiri, Tilicho, Pisang, and many more.
North Annapurna Base Camp lies at an altitude of 4,190 meters in the Annapurna Conservation Area north to the Annapurna Base Camp and south to Thorong La pass.
Trek Route
We commence our adventurous journey after a scenic drive from Pokhara to Tatopani. After staying overnight in Tatopani, we will start our trek from Tatopani to Ghasa through the winding trails, enchanting woods, sparkly rivers, and waterfalls, lush Rhododendron forests, terraced farms, meadows, and picturesque villages.
After spending the night in Ghasa, we will trek towards Lete in the morning. After few hours of hiking, we will reach the beautiful village of Lete surrounded by the Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, and Annapurna ranges.
Next, we will begin our trek to Thulo Bugin from Lete and camp on the shore of Miristi Khola, a river that later reaches Kali Gandaki. The next morning we will forward our hike to the rugged trails of Annapurna North Base Camp crossing the river. After several hours of off-the-beaten trek, we finally reach the pristine Annapurna North Base Camp witnessing the miracles of nature.
Alternatively, there is also a shorter and less-adventurous alternative route for this trek which starts from the trek to Narchyang from Tatopani after a 5-7 hours’ drive from Pokhara depending on the condition of the road and so on and so forth.
Annapurna North Base Camp (ANBC) is considered to be a moderate camping trek that can be done within 8/9 days. Although less explored, this trek is safe and has high potentiality.
