The Annapurna Sanctuary trek offers the quickest way to get to high Himalayan altitudes where glaciers replace rivers. We start by ascending the foothills from Pokhara, appreciating the slate-roofed tropical villages and magnificent rhododendron forests before entering the narrow Modi Khola gorge. As we climb higher we get to the hidden world of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The huge south face of Annapurna (8,090m/26,535ft) provides an impressive backdrop, while the closeness of 10 peaks over 6,000m/20,000ft, including Hiunchuli, Fang, Annapurna III and Machapuchare (the Fish Tail Peak), inspire a delicious joy as a fitting highlight of this spectacular trek. On the return journey we will have a chance to visit the beautiful village and the Gurung 'capital' of Gandruk before heading back to Pokhara. A wonderful journey to the heart of the Annapurnas.
