I recently visited the Annapurna Base Camp popularly known as ABC in Annapurna conservation area, western Nepal. We (had a group of four) were in a research field trip that involved collecting bee samples. We were able to collect Himalayan cliff honey bee from an elevation of ~3700 meter above see level. Trekking to ABC involves a visit to the Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC) on the same route.
If you are planning to trek in this area, I recommend you read this post. In my post you will see some pictures from the trip during early monsoon season.

| An evening at Jhinu, right after the short heavy rain. |

| Beautiful village "Chhomrung". The cliff seen in left is famous for cliff honey bee hives. Small house at the bottom of the picture (green roof) is a small hydro power house. |

| Looking downstream the Modi khola watershed. Village seen on right is probably the famous "Ghandruk" village, whereas "Landruk" village is on left. |
