Trek gently through bamboo forests with varieties of rhododendron and oak trees. The first town you reach is Dovan (2630m.) where there are few lodges and camp sites. Now you pass through muddy trail which traverses high above the river. There is debris of avalanches that can be seen around here but not during the winter season.

Leaving Deurali we gently climb through the river bed over a steep trail then again over to the mountain side. A bit challenging hike of about 2-3 hours from Bagar where the trail becomes narrow will lead us to Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC) (3,700m). MBC area is also known as Annapurna Sanctuary since it is totally surrounded by mountains. From here we can get an excellent view of Mt. Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gangapurna, Gandharvachuli, and Hiunchuli. Actually, MBC is not a real base camp since climbing Mt. Machhapuchhre is not permitted.

Waking up early in the morning, pumped with the desire to imprint the majestic view of the Mt. Annapurna in our hearts forever, we will start the trek. The trail from “Annapurna Base Camp” from “Machhapuchhre Base Camp” is gradually up and smooth as the path widens up. On the way, we can observe many splendid flowers. It takes about 2-3 hours to reach Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) at an elevation of 4,130m from Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC). ABC is located in the center of beautiful mountains. There is a small ridge branching out from the mountain pass from where you’ll descend to mountainside with widespread terraced fields that showcases blissful grasslands and lavish fertile farming land. As you reach ABC we will get to observe formidable mountain scenery with the astounding view of snow-capped peaks, awe-inspiring landscapes.
After enjoying incredible base camp of Mt. Annapurna, we trek from ABC back to Bamboo village which takes about 5-6 hours.
