We know for a fact that Mt. Everest is world famous, and it comes with a lot of trek credits and you will definitely be praised by your friends for trekking here, but on the other hand we have Annapurna, which is more diverse and has a comparatively lower altitude, it has rhododendron forest and the crowd is also lesser. Both these treks are popular among trekkers and each offer different, yet mesmerizing views. Now to choose from two such amazing treks is a tricky decision, but we hope that you will find your answer by the end of this article.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Trekking<\/span><\/p>\n Mt. Everest<\/span><\/p>\n The Everest trail is usually popular among the trekkers to get to the basecamp. Many expeditions wai for you here. The route is most classical option in Nepal. You have to cover a great distance and the altitude is higher which makes this trek time consuming, but it’s also worth it. Gyoko Lakes and passes at Cho La are some good detours from the usual trail. Similarly Island Peak provides you with best views in Himalaya.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Annapurna<\/span><\/p>\n Annapurna trek is much easier for people who are not that experienced with trekking. There are fewer steep ascents and the altitude is obviously lower. And unlike Everest, you get to choose from various trails, and some of these don’t exceed 2000m altitude. The descent is also a bit more easier and gentler than Everest. You get to trek new terrain everyday at Annapurna.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Getting to the destination<\/span><\/p>\n Mt. Everest<\/span><\/p>\n Reaching the base camp is easier these days, but earlier there were no roads to reach the base camp. Now travellers can travel by flight to reach the airstrip at Lukla from Kathmandu. The views along the journey are worth it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Annapurna<\/span><\/p>\n You can reach Pokhara, the base camp of this trek, by bus or flight from Kathmandu. Pokhara sits on the shore of Phewa Lake. It’s a peaceful place with zen atmosphere all around. The perfect place to chill it all out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scenery<\/span><\/p>\n Mt. Everest<\/span><\/p>\n If your love for mountains outlives everything else, then Everest is your ideal pick. Because you will be surrounded by mountains here. Although it’s a high-altitude trek, it still provides the best scenery in Himalayas. Gyoko Lake surrounds you on all sides.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Annapurna<\/span><\/p>\n This leads you to a different face of Himalayas. You still get to see snow-capped peaks. The trail begins in lower fertile foothills and goes through oak trees, terraced rice fields and rhododendron galore. And if you are a mountain lover, you will not be disappointed here either because you get to see the Machapuchare and Dhaulagiri. Annapurna definitely has more diversity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
