This is a unique trek on the foothill of the Annapurna south specially
designed for those who love to enjoy the flora and fauna, panoramic view of the Himalayan range in a comfortable way including
Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Fishtail and other Himalayan ranges.
This is an ideal trek best called as a classic walk right into the heart of the mountains and our gentle walk
start from lowland to the outstanding high mountains with breathtaking view of the Annapurna
range. The walk ends at a point where you are virtually surrounded by soaring Himalayan peaks. Once this trek was a real expedition
into an uninhabited wilderness area.
The trek
involves several ascents and descents but not so hard to attempt as there are several alternative routes to the sanctuary,
all meeting at Chomrong.
This
trek provides an excellent opportunity to experience the fasinating glimpse of rich culture, typical Nepalese lifestyle and
ultimate thrill of trekking in the Himalayas at the high elevation.
