As you get there, you can see many hotels lined up to provide you with their traditional accommodation along with special cuisine. When you walk around the village, you could explore the housing there i.e. made of stone and wood—to resist the cold weather, play with the snow in the sloppy and slippery hills, the small stupas in every corner of the village, and watch the sun go down as the day ends with the sun rays flowing right across the snow making the view magical. During the evening, as the darkness and the cold come along, you could have a bonfire, music, and some Tonga, a popular local millet brew, to protect you from the cold.
Annapurna Base Camp
Located within the majestic Annapurna Himalayan range, Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) stands as a testament to the allure of high-altitude trekking in Nepal.

This valley is embraced by the majestic mountains of the Himalayas, offering a pristine landscape of high-altitude deserts, lush meadows, and traditional Tibetan-style villages.
The Limi Valley is rich in cultural and natural treasures. The indigenous people of the valley, primarily of Tibetan origin, have preserved their unique customs, language, and way of life for centuries.
