slide 2: Wondering whether to go for Everest Base Camp trek EBC or Annapurna base camp trek
ABC Let me guide you through as I have concurred Everest Base Camp before and
recentlyreturned from Annapurna BaseCamp. Therefore I believe I’v e acquired a firmgrip
ontheadvantages disadvantages similarities anddissimilaritiesbetween bothtreks.
If y o u ’re in Nepal for just 2 weeks and planning about doing either Everest Base camp trek
or Annapurna base camp trek I’ d suggest due to the variety in landscape. The EBC trek
starts and concludes at such a lofty elevation that the landscape remains considerably
consistentallthroughthehike.
slide 3: The ABC trek starts outsideofPokhra where it ’ s hotanddry. The routepursues ariver and at
the starting my mate and I were able to swim around in cascades swimming holes due to
the scorching sun. We strolled through lots of trees Rhododendron forests enclosed the
route.Butthisscenicand warmlandscapeimmediatelytransformed assoon aswe gotnearto
base camp. The day before we arrived at the base-camp we got trapped in a snowstorm. The
next morning we strolled to Annapurna Base Camp from Machhapuchhare Base Camp
duringsunrisewhere wehad to hikethrough thesnow.Though in some waystheEverest was
more classic due to the cruel conditions the exhilaration of being able to witness the
highest mountain in the globe Annapurna displayed the diversity spectacle of the Grand
Himalayas.
slide 4: Another huge difference amid the 2 treks was during Everest Base Camp I had a porter and
guide and for Annapurna Base Camp trek I went with a mate and we carried our own
luggage and had no tour guide. However for the Everest base camp trek I’d certainly
suggest having a guide and porter. Due to the height I felt eased out to have somebody
carrying my baggage. Itmade theentireexperiencemuch more enviable.
slide 5: Another big difference amid the 2 treks is that Annapurna circuit trek is less crowded
compared to Everest Base Camp. I personally d id n ’ t experience this because I went to
Everest Base Camp at the starting of the hiking season and it w a sn ’ t that swarmed but I
heard that during the middle of the trekking season it can be really wild in terms of tourist
influx. If you are planning for EBC trekking I’d suggest going at the starting of the trek
season to avoid yourself from the heavy crowd. However the Annapurna Circuit remains
lesscrowded compared totheEBC.
Overall I’d say that both of the treks are unbelievable but t h e y ’re certainly different
experience and it relies on what y o u ’re looking for. Wish you a happier and safer trekking
experience
