A wonderful outdoor adventure that cuts across rugged trails into the divine Annapurna sanctuary where the landscapes present you nature at its natural best….

This is a most famous trekking trail for trekkers in Nepal. The peaks of the western portion of the great Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Fang, Annapurna1, Gangapurna, Annapurna 3 and Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a circle about 10 miles in diameter within a deep glacier-covered amphitheater at the center.

Our trek starts from Nayapul, which is an hours scenic drive from Pokhara with some fabulous views of Annapurna (South) and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) en route. From Nayapul, a half hour’s walk brings us to Birethanti; situated at the confluence of the Modi and Bhurung rivers, where here, the route divides.

We hike the West trail towards Ghorepani, a trading village situated at an elevation of 2750m., where there is a tremendous vantage point (Poon hill - 3210m.) to view both the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himal. The views at sunrise from Poon hill are simply stunning. From Ghorepani, the trail goes East to the hamlet of Tadapani and on towards Chhomrong, from where we commence our journey into the Annapurna Sanctuary and onwards to Annapurna Base Camp. The journey to base camp follows the valley in between the huge ramparts of Himchuli & Machhapuchhre, eventually emerging into an awesome Amphitheater, where a labyrinth of mountains and Annapurna I tower almost vertically above us. It’s a mesmerizing experience….that is worth the physical toil, to the hilt….
