Annapurna Base Camp
4,130mAnnapurna Region
A dramatic amphitheatre at 4,130m ringed by eight peaks above 7,000m, including Annapurna I (8,091m). The 7-10 day trek from Pokhara passes through Modi Khola gorge, bamboo forests, and Gurung villages. More accessible than EBC but equally spectacular at the top.

Ghandruk
1,940mAnnapurna Region
A stone-roofed Gurung village terraced into the hillside two days' walk, or one long day, from Pokhara, with Annapurna South and Machhapuchhare filling the skyline above the rooftops. It works as a short trek in its own right or the first stop on the way to ABC. The Gurung Heritage Museum and the village's own war-veteran history give it a cultural depth most trailhead villages don't have.
