Machhapuchhre Base Camp
3,700m base camp beneath the sacred, unclimbed Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peak
Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC, 3,700m) sits directly beneath Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Peak, 6,993m), a mountain considered sacred to Shiva and never officially climbed. Most itineraries overnight here before the final push to Annapurna Base Camp the next morning, with MBC's amphitheatre views often rated among the most dramatic on the whole trek.
