ANNAPURNA
REGION - Annapurna Sanctuary Trek
|

We
start at Pokhara , cross river beds and terraced hillsides,
on trails disappearing into blazing rhododendron clusters
and oak forest, to picturesque Ghandrung, principal village
of the Gurungs. We go on to the deep narrow corridor of
Mardi Gorge, entrance to the sanctuary , a spectacular
mountain amphitheatre formed by the towering peaks of
Annapurna South, Fang , Annapurna I and III , Gangapurna,
Glacier Dome and Machhapuchre . We pitch camp at approximately
14,000 ft, in the middle of these awesome surroundings.
On return, we descend through the gorge and cross the
Deorali Pass from which can be had a birds eye view of
the Kali Gandaki valley. On a rest day normally planned
for Ghorepani , a short climb up to Poon Hill is worth
while to get a sweeping view of the entire western Himalaya,
including the giant Dhaulagiri.
