The Annapurna trek is one the easiest and popular treks
in Nepal. You will be viewing a great many Himalayan
peaks including 3 eight thousanders. You will be going
through rhododendron, oak and pine forests along with impressive
and friendly Gorkha villagers. The Annapurna trek is
a great introduction to the Nepalese culture and landscapes.
Our

meadows and colorful villages. From Pokhara (913m) we
trek towards Ghodepani (2800m) climbing via Tadapani
to a high ridge of Deorali with incredible views of
Machapuchare (6997m), Annapurna South (7275m) and Dhaulagiri
(8167m).The 'Fishtail Peak' of Machapuchare is one of
the glories of Nepal along with the Annapurnas (Goddess
of Grains), which tower into the sky. |
