Annapurna Sanctuary
The Annapurna
Sanctuary Trek is a true classic, amidst some of the
highest and most spectacular mountains in the world.
The vast amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary is
encircled by famous Himalayan peaks - the 'Fishtail'
spire of Machapuchare (6993m), Gangapurna (7454m),
Annapurna I (8091m), unclimbed Fang (7647m), and
Annapurna South (7273m).
Interaction with the local population is an
important aspect of this walk, from religious
ceremonies to myths, we will attempt to transmit our
knowledge of Nepal and try to give you a better
understanding of its varied ethnic and religious
groups, as many villages are crossed. We can observe
and, at times, participate in Nepali daily life.
A photographer's bonanza, Annapurna Sanctuary trek
allows for a huge variety of landscapes, changing
almost daily, as we climb steadily higher each day.
