| Annapurna
Sanctuary Trek - 14 + 03 Days
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.
