Annapurna Sanctuary is situated on an altitude of more than 4000 meters. This was known to be a home of Lord Shiva and now is part of the Annapurna Conservation area project. Annapurna1 is the tenth highest mountain in the world. This trek takes you to the trails of forest covered with rhododendrons towards the panorama of Mountain and glaciers. This trek is one of the finest tea house treks with comfortable accommodations and meals. The hike to poon hill gives away the sublime beauty of nature with sparkling waterfalls, terraced fields, thatched-roof villages, and the beautiful emerald Modi Khola valley.

From here we move towards the Machhapuchre base camp from where vistas of the valley and Southern region of Annapurna from where Mountain peaks of Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna1, Annapurna3, Gangapurna, Fishtail are clearly visible for the delight of the trekkers. After some hours of ascendance, you will arrive at Annapurna Base Camp from where you will be familiar to this wonderland made of snowfields, glaciers for the ultimate trekking experience.

Over the years the number of trekkers in Annapurna Sanctuary has risen significantly. The eco-system of this area is also an incentive for making this trek.

Annapurna sanctuary trek is a moderate trek suitable for trekkers who can walk for 6-7 hours with a light backpack.

No technical skill is necessary but one has to be physically fit to carry this trek with regular exercise, jogging you are apt to qualify for this trek. The best seasons to travel are Autumn (September to November), Spring (months of March to May). Taking this trek in winter, you will not be among the crowd of trekkers.

During peak seasons chances are that tea houses are full of limited accommodations. You come across people with different ethnic groups and enjoy their culture and customs to get familiar with traditional Nepal.

Beautiful Nepal

Rated 5 out of 5
February 24, 2020

I was totally amazed by how well the trekking went. Thanks, Blue Lake Travel and Tours for our smooth trip, even though we had so many last-minute changes in our trek and during the trek too and you accommodated all. We enjoyed it throughout and we will surely come back. ABC place itself is surreal and impact is several times than one can imagine. Again thanks a lot for such a wonderful trek.
