IntroductionThe impressive amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary draws trekkers each year, enticed by the dramatic mountains and glaciers, including Annapurna I (8,091m) - one of the world's 14 highest peaks. Our Annapurna Sanctuary trek can be completed in two weeks from the UK and is an excellent introduction to trekking, as the overall altitudes are relatively moderate and the trails are good. The itinerary is designed to provide a steady rate of acclimatisation, as well as the best stand off views of the mountains as you enter the Sanctuary. We fly into Kathmandu and spend the following day exploring the city. Then we access the mountains with a short flight to Pokhara. From here, the trek begins with an ascent to the famous viewpoint of Poon Hill (3,190m), early in the morning, when the air is clear and the views most reliable. Following the Modi Khola Valley to Machhapuchare Base Camp and eventually, Annapurna Base Camp is an unforgettable journey... read moreYou may also be interested in our Annapurna Circuit Trek.
