Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking

Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking is best alpine trek. Annapurna base camp trekking give vision of beautiful trek into the area below the massive south face of Annapurna - known as the Annapurna Sanctuary - is one of the popular treks in Nepal. You will reach two popular base camps these are Machhapuchare base camp and Annapurna Base camp.

The vast amphitheater of the Annapurna Sanctuary is encircled by the famous Himalayan peaks - the 'fishtail' spire of Machapuchare (6997m), Gangapurna (7454m) Annapurna 1 (8091m), unclimbed Fang (7647m) and Annapurna South (7273m). The only approach follows the Modi Khola Valley through forests of Oak, Rhododendron and Bamboo, passing through and beyond Gurung villages to a world of soaring peaks.

The flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara takes us pass 3 8000m giants . We start our trek with a short drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. We walk to a village by the Modi River, Birethanti(1000m). Walking through oak forest we cross several side valleys, which run into the Modi Khola, and climb a stone 'staircase' to the Gurung village of Chomrong (2060m). Trekking past Hinku cave, we reach what is known as the 'gate' into the Sanctuary - a pass between the spectacular peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare.

The glaciated and snow covered peaks of the Sanctuary form a spectacular barrier. Dazzling views confront us as we trek up through the last permanent settlements to the Machapuchare Base Camp (3729m) where we are rewarded with superb views of 'Fishtail' mountain. While here we will also visit the Annapurna South Base camp.
