Annapurna Base Camp Trek

After a breakfast, we drive to domestic airport and take a flight to Pokhara and drive to Naya Pul for an hour then commence our trek to New bridge.

The route offers good views of the upper Modi valley. The path then starts the long ascent high above the west bank of the Modi Khola. We pass the village of Chhomrong which lies tucked at the very base of Himal Chuli. From Chhomrong the trail descends until Chhomrong Khola then trail begins a slow climb as we head up to our destination for the day - Sinuwa.

We proceed to Kuldi Ghar about 2 to 3 hrs walking. There is a clearing in the forest a little further on, from there the route goes very steeply down a bank of rock and then levels out, running through thickets of bamboo at the bottom of the gorge, keeping always on the west side of the river. We pass by the pasture of Tomo, and then the very neck of the gorge at pantheon Barah, where there is a small trail and a shrine. The track climbs to Himalaya hotel at the campsite where we will overnight.

Today we climb on past the Machhapuchhare Base Camp (which isn"t really a base camp since climbing the mountain is not permitted) to the Annapurna Base Camp. This area is called the Annapurna Sanctuary since it is totally surrounded by mountains. From here it is a two-hour trek to Annapurna Base camp, which offers spectacular views.

Trek from Annapurna Base Camp to Dovan (2,600m).

Once we have passed Khuldi Bikas where there is an experimental sheep farm, the trail continues through Rhododendron and bamboo fields.
