Trip Summary:
The aptly named Annapurna Sanctuary or Annapurna Base Camp trek is the most intensely scenic trek in Nepal. The Annapurna Range of mountains is a vast massif of numerous spectacular peaks that lies between the Kali Gandaki and the Marsyangdi river valleys forming a solid mountain bastion. Within its span of 40miles, it encompasses more than a dozen peaks higher than 7000m and numerous others of over 6000m. Leaving the beautiful lake city of Pokhara, we experience many changes as we trek up to Annapurna Base Camp through colorful rhododendron forests and bamboo groves to high desert like landscapes. The initial people of Aryan stock give way to those of Mongolian ancestry while the 4 dominant religion changes from Hinduism in the lower areas to Buddhism as we progress higher. We trek it Machapuchare Base Camp on a ridge below the dramatic unclimbed holy mountain, Machapuchare, or Fishtail Mountain and up to our destination, Annapurna Base Camp set within the vast spectacular natural amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary – an unbelievably beautiful setting where we are surrounded by fabulous, glistening peaks – a truly unforgettable scene.
