Annapurna South Expedition
 

On this expedition we take you well off the beaten trail, on to long, remote mountain ridges, through exposit forest and to visit traditional villages. Views of the Annapurna and the gigantic mass of Mt. Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre are utterly breathtaking and complement many of our phenomenal campsites during this classic two-week trek.

From Pokhara our walk begins in the lower, more temperate region of forested hillsides and Gurung and Magar village. As we move higher through the rhododendron woodlands the views of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre are astounding. On reaching Kopra Ridge our campsite is right below Mt. Annapurna I. From here we walk up to the sacred lake above Kair, a marvelous alpine experience. We set up the Base Camp for climbing to Mt. Annapurna South. After finishing expedition trek back to Pokhara takes us via Poon Hill – for one of the most famous panoramas point in the Annapurna. Once in Pokhara, our trek crew will lead the singing and dancing for our last night together, before we return to Kathmandu. Beside this, there is another route to climb Annapurna south from east to North West route that trail goes from Chhomrong Village to Annapurna Base Camp from where your climbing is start to get Annapurna South summit.
