Sherpa Guide:

Sherpa Guides are trekking guides who have 20 years of experience in trekking and mountaineering. they are well-trained and registered by the Nepal Mountaineering association. They are known about all the circumstances that may occur during trekking. Thus with them, trekking becomes a little easy or we can say less difficult.

The flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara takes us past three 8000m giants. We start our Annapurna Sanctuary Trek with a short drive from Pokhara to Nayapul. We walk to a village by the Modi River, Birethanti (1000m). Walking through oak forest we cross several side valleys, which run into the Modi Khola, and climb a stone ‘staircase’ to the Gurung village of Chomrong (2060m). Trekking past Hinku cave, we reach what is known as the ‘gate’ into the Sanctuary – a pass between the spectacular peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare.The glaciated and snow covered peaks of the Sanctuary form a spectacular barrier. Dazzling views confront us as we trek up through the last permanent settlements to the Machhapuchhare Base Camp (3729m) where we are rewarded with superb views of ‘Fishtail’ mountain. While here we will also visit the Annapurna South Base camp.
