Trip Overview

One of the best alpine trekking to Machhapuchhre Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp and the Sanctuary of the Gods...

This trek is popular as it offers a great variety of beautiful landscapes, nature and culture of the central mountains of Nepal. The Annapurna mountain is a vast massif with several peaks above 7000m. Part of the range forms a natural amphitheatre known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, ringed by such giants as Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna, Fang and Machhapuchhre. We trek through forested hillsides to Ghorepani where we ascend Poon Hill for a magnificent panoramic sunrise of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri. Entering a narrow valley we pass directly below Machhapuchhre before reaching the Sanctuary, a veritable home of the Gods.

We have a day to explore this magnificent place before returning to Pokhara via a different route. This is a fairly strenuous alpine trek offering close-up mountain views equal to any in the Himalayas. This area also offers several choices of treks from visiting the hospitable village of Ghorepani, Poon-Hill, Chhomrong, Landruk, Pathana and Dhampus to viewing the exquisite mountains.
