Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The other classic trek in the Annapurna region is to the so called Annapurna Sanctuary, the site of he base camp, the site of the base camp used by expeditions attempting the massive south face of Annapurna I. The trek to Annapurna Base Camp combines some of the most spectacular mountain scenery with fascinating insight into the life of middle hill Nepal. 12 days for the trek, allows time for exploration inside the Sanctuary and also chance to extend the route on to Ghorepani and Poon Hill. The trail up the Modi Khola passed through dense stands of rhododendron and bamboo for the first day. As you pass through the “gate” and enter the Sanctuary you find yourself in a huge amphitheater enclosed by a solid wall of show capped peaks, which include Annapurna I, II, III, and IV plus the fish tailed spire of Machapuchhre.

The trail returns the same way until Chomrong and heads towards to Ghorepani via Tadapani. Ghorepani means (Horse water), and it is not doubt a welcome watering stop for the teams of horse. After an hour climb to Poon Hill you can view the massive view of 12 snow mountain peaks in front of you.
