Annapurna Base Camp

I am pleased to share with you photos taken by Ivy Lee who went trekking to Annapurna Base Camp (“ABC”) from 11 to 28 October 2008. As you can see, there was lots of deep blue sky in autumn compares to spring in May.

Please click here to view 368 photos taken by Ivy Lee..

Ivy Lee - admiring the peaceful and tranquil environment.

The 12-man KC and Team went there from 28 April to 4 May 2008 click here (and scroll down the pages); comparing the two seasons, you will see that in May, the ice and snow are still visible at the lower ground but the sky is always full of clouds. Hence, it is not stunning when taking photographs.

In October, most of the ice and snow would have melted save for those at the peak of mountains.


Which is the best season to go? The answer is: experience the different seasons in different trekking regions in Nepal. Both seasons have their unique experience and fun.


(AB Tan informed me that he will be leading a 7-man team trekking to ABC in early April 2009. Click here for his most recent trekking trip to Mera Peak, Nepal.).
