Nepal mountain trek- Annapurna or Everest Base Camp?

Question

what trek should i do in nepal? have you done either and what did you think (i'd be doing a basic backpackers tour)?

Answer 1

I think the route of Annapurna Base camp is more beautiful but Everest Base camp is world known and is beautiful too.

If you went to Everest Base camp then you can brag about it. But if you went to Annapurna Base Camp then you will have some more explanation and/or showing of pictures to do..

Basically same.

I have taken a plane from Pokhara to Jomsom. I went to Muktinath and then climbed down to Pokhara. It was awsome.

I think you have to do more than just a basic backpacking.

Answer 2

Both of the routes are excellent trekking routes. Depending upon your interest: what you want to see, how long you want to trek, how high you want to reach, how much you want to spend, you have to decide the route.

Answer 3

It all depends on you. Both of these treks are excellent. You can do backpacking in both of these treks. The time required is somewhat similar.
