Annapurna Sanctuary 20/04/2012 - 05/05/2012
This is another classic trek, shorter then the Annapurna circuit, which can be completed in as little as 14 days. The trek starts at Nayapul and takes us to the Base Camp of Annapurna South. The trail is visually superb with magnificent views of Machhapuchhre,Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. The climax of this trek is an overnight stay at Annapurna base camp and watching dawn rise over the surrounding peaks of over 6,000 meters. Some of the best of Nepal's diversity is compressed into two weeks of walking. This area is well developed with lodge facilities.
