The Annapurna region is that north of Pokhara in Central Nepal, and includes some of the world's highest and most beautiful mountains, these include the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre - the famous fish-tail mountain that dominates the skyline above Pokhara.
Annapurna, at 8091m, is the 10th highest mountain in the world and will be forever known as the first 8000m peak to be climbed

The Annapurna Circuit Trek.

This classic trek circles the entire Annapurna massif and in so doing offers a spectacular variety of cultures and landscapes, from lowland farming country to alpine meadows to the Tibet-like country on the northern slopes of the Himalayas. You start in the foothills at Besi Sahar and steadily climb for 6 days to the settlement of Manang at 3500m where you have time to acclimatize and enjoy the mountain views. Continuing to ascend, on day 10 of the trek you cross the famous Thorung La, at 5416m, to Muktinath, an important pilgrimage site for Hindus and Buddhists.
From here the path descends into the Kali Gandaki, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri towering on either side. En route back to Pokhara you pass through the many beautiful hill villages that populate this ancient trading route between Tibet and India. This trek also takes in the hot springs at Tatopani, and climb up Poon Hill, above Ghorapani, to enjoy magnificent mountain views

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek

You ventures into the area below the south face of Annapurna - known as the Annapurna Sanctuary. The trek begins in Pokhara and leads up through the breathtaking Modi Khola gorge into the vast mountain ringed amphitheatre of the Sanctuary.
As you trek through bamboo and rhododendron forests you have superb views of the Annapurna range, eventually passing between the mountains of Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli which guard the entrance to the Sanctuary, after 6 days of trekking we reached our goal, the Annapurna south face base camp.
