Annapurna Sanctuary
(14 days, Camping/Hotels)
| One of the very best alpine treks into the Sanctuary of the Gods |
The Annapurna Himal is a vast massif with several peaks
above 7000 m. Part of the range forms a natural amphitheater known as the
Annapurna Sanctuary, ringed by such giants as Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome,
Gangapurna, Fang and the fishtail peak of Machhapuchhre. Passing directly
below the dramatic fishtail peak, our destination is the vast natural
amphitheater of the Sanctuary, where we are ringed by glistening peaks, a
veritable home of the Gods. We have a couple of days to explore this
magnificent place before returning to Pokhara via a different route. This is
a fairly strenuous alpine trek that offers close-up mountain views equal to
any in the Himalayas.
