Annapurna Base Camp Trekking
Introduction:
The route to the Annapurna sanctuary (Annapurna Deuthali in Nepali), the site of the Annapurna South Face Base Camp, is a spectacular short trek. Though it has some steep climbs, the trek is not difficult, and traverses a variety of terrain, from lowland villages and rice terraces to glaciers, with outstanding high mountain views. This is a fine opportunity to surround your self with Himalayan peaks in a short time, without having to contend with the altitude and flight problems of the Everest region. You can make the trek from Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp and back in as few as 10 or 12 days, but it is best to allow two weeks to fully appreciate the high altitude scenery. A diversion to Ghorapani on the return route provides a view of Dhaulagiri from Poon hill.
