Annapurna trekking region in Nepal has been wildly recognized as a naturalist’s paradise. Annapurna trekking/tour region is a very popular area that offers a dramatic trekking experience for trekkers from all over world.
This is a 9-day trek but one can do 2 to 21 days trekking/tour in the Annapurna region. The upper sub-alpine steppe environment harbors some of the rarest animals including snow leopards and blue sheep. Other areas of Annapurna trekking region are home to bird species such as the multi-coloured Impeyan, kokla, blood pheasant amongst a multitude of other birds, butterflies and insects. Many plant species native to Nepal are found in the forest of Annapurna trekking region. The Annapurna conservation area has 100 varieties of orchids and some of the richest temperate rhododendron forests in the world.
For thousands of years people of diverse ethnic backgrounds have scratched a livelihood out of Annapurna's steep hillsides. The advent of tourism and the phenomenal rise in human population has triggered environmental deterioration. In 1968 Nepal’s King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation launched the Annapurna Conservation Area Project in order to protect this pristine gift from nature.
Enjoy this 9-day trek through some of the most spectacular hills and mountains in the entire world.

“Annapurna base camp hike was nice. Honestly I was happy to go in November because it wasnt as crowded on the hike and the weather was great. Its a great hike if your not quiet ready for Everest but still want to see the Himalayas.”
9 Days Memorable ABC Trek

“Just finished my 9 days ABC trekking tour with Nepal Lion and I'm pleased with their seamless arrangement for the whole trip. The trek surely wasn't easy but it's fulfilling and the view up there surely worth the efforts. The booking with them was rather impromptu and I'm glad that it turned out to be great.
My guide Bikash Nikesh is a very considerate person and he knows the terrains very well having himself did many treks in Nepal. He can adjust to your pace based on your request and personal fitness, most importantly he will ensure your safety at all times. Personally, having a guide is important because during my trek there were two massive landslides and thanks to Bikash I'm in one piece. And this was during the end of monsoon, an amateur hiker like me would have difficulties in getting thru it. For that I'm grateful.
Nepal Lion itself is a small company and they are very customer centric with flexibility to adjust the trip based on your needs. Besides, I am happy to support small business in Nepal as it's not easy to make ends meet here. What I appreciate the most is that they explain everything clearly and orderly so you would have a right expectation of the trek and what is included and what is not for the trip. They are honest and genuine in their business. Plus, the airport transfers and farewell dinners are just a wonderful way to complete your trip in Nepal.
If I were to return to Nepal for EBC I will surely go back to them. Until then, all the best with your trip if you're planning to do so!”
