Trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

The trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary leads to Annapurna Base Camp, at 4,130 meters, in the heart of a huge natural amphitheater surrounded by the walls of Annapurna, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and the unmistakable profile of Machapuchare. It’s one of Nepal’s great classic treks, though it reaches lower altitudes than the Annapurna Circuit and the Everest Base Camp trek. From Pokhara, we gradually make our way into the valley through Chhomrong, climbing through villages, rhododendron forests and deep gorges to Machhapuchhre Base Camp. From here the landscape opens up completely, and the final stretch leads to Annapurna Base Camp, in the heart of the Sanctuary. Our journey doesn’t end with a simple descent along the same route. After leaving the Sanctuary, we reach Ghandruk, one of the region’s most important Gurung villages, and continue through Pitam Deurali and Dhampus before returning to Pokhara. This way, the trek combines the high-mountain experience with some of the most beautiful rural landscapes and villages on the southern side of Annapurna. You’ll be accompanied by certified local Nepali guides with extensive experience in the region, a strong command of English and, where available, Italian. We take care of transfers, lodges, permits and porters directly, from your arrival in Kathmandu right through to your return after the trek. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Why choose Himalaya Exped for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>

Our guides have walked the trails of the Annapurna region countless times and know its Sanctuary trek inside out: a route with no mountaineering difficulties, but plenty of ups and downs, long stretches of steps, and a landscape that changes fast as you get closer to the mountains.We’ve chosen a 13-day itinerary that lets you reach the Machhapuchhre Base Camp and the Annapurna Base Camp gradually, without turning the trip into a race. After a night in Dobhan, we climb to the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, then enter the Sanctuary the following day to reach the Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters, before heading back down to sleep at the lower village of Deurali. The way back is part of the journey too. Instead of heading straight down to Pokhara, we cross Chhomrong and reach Ghandruk, a traditional Gurung village looking out over Annapurna South and Machapuchare. From there we continue on to Pitam Deurali and Dhampus, rounding off the trek through scenery quite different from that of the upper valley. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a great fit for anyone who wants to experience a major Himalayan trek without going above 5,000 meters. It calls for no mountaineering skills, but it’s still a genuine mountain trek, with several hours of walking each day and the need to be ready for highly variable weather and temperatures. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
