Annapurna Base Camp Sanctuary

The Heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary

Perched at 4,130 metres, Annapurna Base Camp sits in a vast glacial amphitheatre encircled by some of the highest peaks on Earth, including Annapurna I (8,091 m) and the sacred Machhapuchhare (Fishtail). This dramatic natural arena marks the culmination of one of the Himalaya's most beloved treks.

Teahouse Lodges and Stone Courtyard

The webcam frames a tight cluster of rustic teahouse lodges — the Snow Land Lodge and Annapurna Guest House among them — their tin roofs and timber porches gathered around a hand-laid stone courtyard. These remote refuges shelter trekkers who have climbed for days through rhododendron forest and alpine meadow to reach the foot of the massif.

A Trekker's Pilgrimage

The Annapurna Base Camp trek draws adventurers from across the globe to this secluded mountain sanctuary in Kaski, where the surrounding walls of rock and ice rise thousands of metres on every side. Watch this extraordinary high-mountain stage unfold in real time.
