Annapurna Base Camp Trekking - Annapurna
Base Camp Trek - Annapurana Sanctuary Trekking
Annapurna Base Camp Trekking is famous for trekkers. Annapurna
Base Camp Trek also know as Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking.
is a hike into the dazzling natural amphitheatre formed
by the staggeringly beautiful peaks of the giants Annapurna
1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna, Fang and the fishtail peak
of Machapuchare. Although there is only one entrance to
the sanctuary itself, we follow lesser-used approach and
exit routes.
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.
