Overview
The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek often referred to as the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a hike into the dazzling natural amphitheatre encircled by the famous Himalayan peaks – the 'fishtail' spire of Machapuchare (6997m), Gangapurna (7454m), Annapurna I (8091m), the unclimbed Fang (7647m), Annapurna South (7273m), Varaha Shikhar (7847m.) and Gangapurna (7455m). Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is easily accessible from Pokhara, the hidden stronghold of the Annapurna Sanctuary is one of the most popular trekking destinations in Nepal. From the terraced farmland above Pokhara, we trek on good trails through scattered Gurung settlements and abundant forest, climbing gradually into a world of ice and snow.
The combination of picturesque rice-fields and villages, with the panorama of high peaks in the backdrop, offers an extraordinary experience to the visitor. The approach to Annapurna Base Camp -ABC trek, as it is most commonly known follows the Modi Khola valley through a forest of dense rhododendron and bamboos subsequently arriving and passing through different rural communities to a world of soaring Himalayan peaks.
