The Annapurna Sanctuary trek known as Annapurna Base Camp trek is a true classic, amidst some of the highest and most spectacular mountains in the world. Many of the peaks are over 7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as well as Annapurna I and lll, Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Glacier Dome.

Our trek begins in the terraced foothills close to Pokhara. The Ghorepani-Chumrung-Dhampus ridge gives us good panoramic views of the mountains and, as we pass through local farming communities, the vista becomes more impressive. After two days trek we arrive at Ghorepani. We spend the night here in order to make an early morning ascent of Poon Hill, to see the spectacular sunrise over the Himalaya. During our trek we pass through the Gurung villages of Landrung and Chhomrong, then the view of  rhododendron and bamboo forests. Beyond Hinko, we soon see excellent views of Annapurna South and Machapuchare.

Once inside, we are afforded incredible views of the mountains from Machupuchare Base Camp, 3700m, and Annapurna Base Camp, 4130m, where we will spend a day. After this we begin our descent to Pokhara, via Dhampus. Clients will carry day pack only and walk at their own pace. Duration of trekking hours is about 5-7hr a day.
