Annapurna Region :: Annapurna Base camp Trek
The high glacial basin Annapurna Sanctuary lies in 40kms directly north of Pokhara Nepal’s second city concealed within the folds of two great southward projecting ridges of the Annapurna Massif, lies the secret mountain fastness of the Annapurna Sanctuary. At recently Annapurna Sanctuary has become a popular trekking destination and easily accesible from Pokhara where it offers tremendous potential for scenic walks for alpine exploration in a splendid high Himalayan setting.
The ring of Mountains, which forms the rim of the Annapurna Sanctuary, includes no fewer than eight of over 7000meters,including Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna 1 (8091 meters), Gangapurna, Annapurna 3 and Annapurna 5. The peerless Macchapuchare completes the ring, only 7 meters below the magical 7000 meters. The walk-in to the Sanctuary provides a taste of the great variety of landscape types, which serve to make Nepal such a special trekking destination. Starting out at Phedi, we encounter sub-tropical heat, pretty villages and neatly terraced rice fields.
Gaining height gradually, we enjoy several days of pleasant ridge walking with a mix of abundant forest and scattered areas of farmed land. Finally, beyond the last of the bamboo and rhododendron woodland, the valley narrows at the entrance to the world of ice and snow that is the Annapurna Sanctuary. Throughout the walk-in, there are always outstanding panoramas of the high peaks to the north and the contrast of the rice-fields and villages with the snow peaks above makes for very picturesque trekking indeed. From Poon Hill above Ghorepani the dawn views of Dhaulagiri and nearby Tukuche Peak are legendary.
