Annapurna Base Camp Highlights

Ten days of trekking at Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) from 14 to 26 October 2018 with trekking service provided by trekking agent, Mr Cheban Devkota of Manaslu Adventure Treks (Pvt.) Ltd. While two ladies were wary of the mountain sickness, eventually, they made it to ABC safely and back – so are the entire team.
