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.
