Annapurna Sanctuary

       Annapurna Base Camp below Annapurna I                       Machhapuchhare or "Fishtail" Mtn.

A spectacular short trek to the center of the Annapurna massif.

A trek to the Amphitheater of the Mountain Gods and probably the best short trek in Nepal. The trail gradually climbs  through an ever-changing landscape of rice fields, misty forests and tiny local villages. After two days trekking we visit Poon Hill for the famous view of Dhaulagiri and Kali Gandaki gorge.  We move on towards a world of snow and ice in the center of the Annapurna Massif. At the Annapurna Base camp you are surrounded by a spectacular ring of mountains including Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna III (7555 m), Gangapurna (7454 m) and Machhapuchhare or Fishtail Mountain (6997 m). We spend two days exploring the area before returning to Pokhara in four days along the Modi Khola river.
