OVERVIEW
Annapurna Sanctuary (16 Days)
The Annapurna
Sanctuary offers the quickest way to get to high Himalayan altitudes
where glaciers replace rivers. We start by ascending the foothills
from Pokhara, appreciating the slate-roofed tropical villages and
magnificent rhododendron forests before entering the narrow Modi
Khola gorge. As we climb higher we get to the hidden world of the
Annapurna Sanctuary. The huge south face of Annapurna
(8,090m/26,535ft) provides an impressive backdrop, while the
closeness of 10 peaks over 6,000m/20,000ft, including Hiunchuli,
Fang, Annapurna III and Machapuchare (the Fish Tail Peak), inspire a
delicious joy as a fitting highlight of this spectacular trek. On the
return journey we will have a chance to visit the beautiful village
and the Gurung 'capital' of Gandruk before heading back to Pokhara. A
wonderful journey to the heart of the Annapurnas.
Moderate to difficult trekking from 900m (3,000ft) to 3,700m (12,150ft). Accommodation in comfortable lodges run by local families. The trek starts in Pokhara and includes all meals, road-head transport, services of experienced trek guide and porter to carry luggage. Clients carry day-pack only and walk at their own pace.
