The
ANNAPURNA SANCTUARY Lodge Trek
Trekking
To The Heart Of The Annapurnas - The Haute Route Of
Nepal. |
|
|
|
The Annapurna Sanctuary offers the quickest way to get to
high Himalayan altitudes where glaciers replace rivers. We
start by ascending the foothills from Pokhara, appreciating
the slate-roofed tropical villages and magnificent rhododendron
forests before entering the narrow Modi Khola gorge. As we
climb higher we get to the hidden world of the Annapurna Sanctuary.
The huge south face of Annapurna (8,090m/26,535ft) provides
an impressive backdrop, while the closeness of 10 peaks over
6,000m/20,000ft, including Hiunchuli, Fang, Annapurna III
and Machapuchare (the Fish Tail Peak), inspire a delicious
joy as a fitting highlight of this spectacular trek. On the
return journey we will have a chance to visit the beautiful
village and the Gurung 'capital' of Gandruk before heading
back to Pokhara. A wonderful journey to the heart of the Annapurnas.
Moderate to difficult trekking
from 900m (3,000ft) to 3,700m (12,150ft). Accommodation
