Above 3,000m, altitude sickness can hit fast!
Stay hydrated, climb gradually, and rest well.

A group of happy trekkers poses for a memorable group photo at Annapurna Base Camp in Nepal’s Himalaya hub region, surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks including Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). Each trekker smiles and celebrates their achievement while holding a green Himalaya Hub flag, fluttering gently in the mountain breeze. Colorful prayer flags line the background, adding vibrant accents against the clear blue sky. The scene captures the excitement and camaraderie of adventure travelers enjoying the 11-day Mardi Himal + ABC Trek, guided by a knowledgeable Himalaya Hub instructor, who stands proudly with the group ensuring safety and engagement.
