“Annapurna” literally translates to “Full of food” in Sanskrit and the Mountain peak, first climbed by Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, of a French expedition, is a picturesque Colossal- heavily covered with gossamer of snowy patina, and is breath-taking. Annapurna Base Camp Trek allows you to experience this stellar wonder up close and without any hassle, along with other equally radiant mountain ranges of Machhapuchhre, Himchuli and the Lamjung Himal.
