Annapurna Base Camp Trekking
(Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking)
Annapurna Base Camp offers the quickest
way to get to high Himalayan altitudes where glaciers replace
rivers. This is the most popular and famous trek in Nepal.
The Sanctuary denotes its natural
serenity, beauty and abode of Hindu Goddesses Annapurna and
Gangapurna. The trail leads to Machhapuchhre Base Camp and
Annapurna Base Camp by passing colorful Gurung villages, terraced
fields, dense forest of pine and rhododendron. On the return
journey we will have a chance to visit the beautiful village
and the Gurung 'capital' of Gandruk before heading back to
Pokhara.
