Annapurna Base Camp trek is well known for its diversified terrain and its glorious views. From the beginning of the trek, one can find themselves amidst the mountains and lakes in Pokhara. Starting the trek, we walk through dense forest all the way up to the Himalayas. Annapurna range and Macchapuchre (Fishtail) are probably the showstoppers of the trek. From the starry night view to the morning glory, Annapurna trek offers the best of nature. Adding up to it, Desire Adventure also offers a trip to Chitwan. Chitwan is the exotic land of wildlife where the harmless rhinos and tigers roam freely.
If you want to customize your trip, we are happy to help you plan and prepare your adventures. Nevertheless, you can also check out our other packages on Annapurna Region Trek or our Nepal Tours.

Our Guides:
With growing tourism in Nepal, the growth of travel and expedition companies have mounted to its peak. The companies seek the best leaders and guides to compete in the market while giving the best service to the clients. Although there are a numbers of companies promising you the best trip of your life, many neglect giving the knowledge on safety measurements and sustainable tourism to their team. From luxury travels to pocket friendly trips, our team guides deliver you the best of Nepal keeping your schedule, preference and welfare in mind.
Extensive insights on history and culture of the country:
Nepal has abundance of cultural and natural beauty. The charming architecture and rich history of the temples and Stupas are listed under UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Trekking has been commercialized in the last few years since Nepal was recognized as the most efficient country to trek. With growing commercialization comes competitive market. Nevertheless, our climbing Sherpas and team representatives along with the guides are required to have minimum of 5 years of experience with a certified license.

Our teams of guides are well trained with proper English speaking and communication skills via education and experience. We are also equipped with first-aid kits and trekking apparatus like oximeters, maps, first-aid kits and mobile phone for emergency.
