Annapurna Sanctuary/Base Camp Trek

Arrive at Kathmandu airport; you will be met by the staff from our agency and then transfer to Hotel.

Transferred by tourist bus for about 6 -hours to Pokhara, a beautiful town set on the banks of the Phewa Lake. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy either doing last-minute shopping for the trek or packing your kitty bag for the following day's departure.

Drive an hour to Birethanti and start trekking through the lush, green Modi river valley, past waterfalls with plunge pools.  After crossing the bridge ascend the staircase to Magar village of Ulleri where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.

A gentle climb through pasture and cultivated fields. As the trail climbs higher, you walk up beside the cascading river through refreshingly cool oak and rhododendron forest to Ghorepani (2840m.)

Early morning climb to the Poonhill and enjoy a sunrise over the peaks and magnificent mountain panoramic view. A short ascend to Deurali pass and further Tadapani through dense moss-covered forest rich with the bird.

The trail drops down through dense rhododendron forest and a long ascent high above the west bank of the Modi Khola and continues up to the village of Chhomrung (2040m.) Towering above the village is the mighty peak of Annapurna South, with the Fishtail facing it across the valley.

We walk through the forest to Kuldi Ghar then steeply down a bank of rock and then level out, running through riverside bamboo thickets along the base of the gorge. From here the trail winds steeply up through deep bamboo and rhododendron forest to the Himalaya Hotel (2680m.)

The trail along the west bank of the Modi flows through a more open valley and eventually emerges into the Sanctuary. Straight ahead is the high lateral moraine of the South Annapurna glacier and the Modi follows a deep cliff to the right. This is the site of Machhapuchhre base camp 3480m.

The route begins on a broad grassy path, soon we reach the British Expedition Annapurna South Face Base Camp (4234m.) which provides the best views of the Annapurna, Hiunchuli, and an exciting walk on the glacier.

Descend and follow the same route to a pleasant Himalaya hotel then a further 3 hrs to Bamboo.

The trail passes the rhododendron and bamboo fields to the Jhinu Danda near the hot spring.

After an easy descent to the Gurung village of Landrung, the trail crosses a pass before arriving at the tiny village of Pothana with a great view of Annapurna.

Trek along the ridge of Dhampus and further a short climb down Phedi, where we meet the road and drive back to Pokhara. Your last night in Pokhara is a great opportunity to throw a party with trekking crews.

Early morning start driving through the beautiful countryside scenery along the way. Arrive in Kathmandu and transfer to the hotel. Join the farewell dinner in the evening most probably with a live cultural program.

If you have time and are interested in other adventures like white water rating, wildlife safari, or any other activities can extend your holiday or transfer to the airport and fly back to sweet home.
