Ker & Downey Basanta Lodge, Dhampus

The enormity of the Nepalese landscape stretches away in front of you – the mighty, snow-capped mountains of the Annapurna Range rising like a tumultuous sea in the distance.

Whatever draws you to the idea of trekking through the uplands of Nepal, you’ll find Basanta Lodge will fulfil your most preciously-held expectations. The extraordinary Annapurna Range of soaring mountains, with their valleys that fade into deep blue and peaks that glitter in the golden sunshine will test your abilities as a photographer. The panoramic views (as well as the altitude) will take your breath away if you’re a lover of powerful scenery. And the challenges of trekking through the remotest of mountain regions will satisfy your need for out-of-the-way adventure.
