This is a spectacular trek to the South Face of Annapurna I.
Offers breathtaking views of the Fishtail PeakMachhapuchhare.
Watch a magnificent sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges from Poon Hill.
Located within the Annapurna Conservation Area, the Annapurna Sanctuary trek offers both incredible mountain views and a chance to travel through scenic lowland villages. The bulk of the sanctuary is a gigantic glacier surrounded by 10 towering peaks each reaching above the height of 20,000ft forming an amphitheatre like structure. This trek offers the opportunity to experience the majesty of the Himalayas while staying at altitudes below 14,000ft. There will be several days spent in the Sanctuary, including trips to the Annapurna and Machhapuchhare Base Camps.
From Kathmandu you will board a bus to Pokhara for an overnight stay. The actual trek will start from a place called Phedi ("the bottom of Hillfs). From Phedi you will follow a ridge of Dhampus to reach the quaint mountain village.
From here you can get the first glimpse of Machhapuchhare and Annapurna (26,538ft). On the section of the trek below Chomrong you will walk through over hills, through villages of the area, and small lush forests on the way to Machhapuchhare Base Camp (12,201 ft/22,937ft). Spend 2 nights in Machhapuchhare Base Camp (12,201 ft). The 22,937ft high "Fish Tail Peak" of Machhapuchhare is considered one of the most beautiful mountains on Earth. From here it is on to the Annapurna Base Camp (13,431), site of Chris Boningtonfs successful 1970 summit attempt. You can visit ancient Gurung and Magar villages on the Ghorepani Ridge, looking down towards the cascading Kaligandaki River and the deep gorge, one of the deepest in the world, it has carved out. After the magnificent splendour of the sunrise from Poon Hill you will proceed to Tikendhunga walking down through colourful Rhododendron forests, villages and terraced hills. The trek ends with a short drive to Pokhara.
