Treks in Nepal
Annapurna Sanctuary
This classic lodge trek reaches the heart of the mountains after only a few days and offers exciting close encounters with the vast south face of Annapurna 1 and the distinctive ‘fish tail’ of Machapuchare. After visiting both base camps, we return via Ghorepani and Poon Hill, whose hillsides are ablaze with rhododendrons in spring.
We fly from Kathmandhu to Pokhara, then head through rhododendron forest towards the snowy giants ahead, passing through traditional Gurung, Magar and Thakali villages along the way. Some of the days are fairly strenuous with ups and downs thrown in to increase the challenge - but the altitude isn’t excessive and the pace will be slow and steady.
Standing in the Sanctuary, a natural amphitheatre formed by 6-8000m peaks, is a memory to treasure forever and we have allowed enough time at the highest lodges to absorb this dramatic mountain setting.
