Annapurna Sanctuary Trek + Trisuli Rafting + Jungle Safari - Price US$ 1160.50

The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is a true classic, amidst some of the highest
and most spectacular mountains in the world. Many of the peaks are over
7000m, including the famous twin-peaked Machapuchare, as well as Annapurna 1
and lll, Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Glacier Dome. Our trek begins in
the terraced foothills close to Pokhara. The Dhampus Ridge gives us our
first good views of the mountains and, as we pass through local farming
communities, the vista becomes more impressive. We pass through the Gurung
villages of Landrung and Chomrong, the latter offering rhododendron and
bamboo forests to Hinko Cave. Beyond Hinko, we soon see excellent views of
Annapurna South and Machapuchare. After spending the night in Chomrong, we
climb high above the Modi Khola River, through the 'gates' of the Sanctuary.
Once inside, we are afforded incredible views of the mountains from
Machupuchare Base Camp, 3480m,and Annapurna Base Camp, 3900m, where we will
spend a rest day. After this we begin our descent to Pokhara, via Ghorepani.
We spend the night here in order to make an early morning ascent of Poon
Hill, to see the spectacular sunrise over the Himalaya.
