at the altitude of 4,919m. Most of the treks to
this zone are commenced either from the lake-side resort
town of Pokhara or Besisahar.

the Annapurna region. It is relatively a short
trek that can be completed in as little as 14

is reached. When you enter into the sanctuary
you’ll find yourself in a huge amphitheatre
enclosed by a solid wall of snow capped peaks
which include Annapurna I, II, III, IV and Machhapuchhre
(Fish tailed mountain). It is advisable you to
allow two weeks to fully appreciate the high altitude
scenery.
