The trek starts in Pokhara, widely known as the ‘Lake City’ and passes through cascading waterfalls, beautiful villages, terraced farmlands, lush rhododendron forests and spectacular mountain vistas before reaching the base of the mighty Annapurna.
You will be trekking along the southern slopes of the Annapurna Himalaya offering dramatic close-up views of either the Annapurna range or the Dhaulagiri range. Our goal is the glacier-covered amphitheater of the 4,200 m Annapurna Sanctuary.
