 The most popular trekking area in Nepal is situated
north of Pokhara. This trek offers some of the most
dramatic close-up views of the tallest mountain peaks
in the world. The abrupt variations in altitude provide
an astonishing experience. The summit of Machhapuchhre
(6997m) is less than 30 kilometers from the airstrip
in Pokhara (850m). In less than a week we move from
the sub-tropical areas around Pokhara to high tundra
and the glaciers of the Annapurna sanctuary. Inhabited
by the Gurung and Magar people - the friendly smiling
people from the famous Gorkha regiment of the British
and Indian armies. The Annapurna Sanctuary offers a
good mix of high mountains and Himalayan culture on
this trek. The Annapurna Himal lies between the Kali
Gandaki and Marsyangdi river valleys, forming a solid,
mountain bastion. In its span of 40 miles, it encompasses
some twelve peaks higher than 7000 m. and numerous others
over (6000 m) also frequented by many Hindu pilgrims
is in this area. The Annapurna Sanctuary forms a 360
Degree natural amphitheater ringed by Huin Chuli (6441
m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Annapurna I (8091 m),
Gangapurna (7454 m), Tharpu Chuli (5663 m) and Machhapuchare
or "Fish Tail" as it is commonly known.
