At dawn, we ascend to Poon Hill to witness the enchanting sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges. Poon Hill is renowned for its close-up views of these majestic mountains.

Today's trek takes us through a vast rhododendron forest, and as the forest trail concludes, it reveals picturesque terraced fields. We then embark on a 5 km uphill journey, passing waterfalls and ultimately reaching a suspension bridge—common sights in the Himalayan region of Nepal. After a few more miles of varied terrain, we arrive at our destination for the day, the charming village of Chhomrong, nestled below the towering Mt. Annapurna. Enjoy an overnight stay in Chhomrong.

Descending from Chhomrong, we navigate numerous stone steps leading to the Chhomrong Khola River. Crossing a swinging bridge, we ascend to Sinuwa, traversing a beautiful forest path through Kuldihar. From here, the trail gently descends to Bamboo, where we will spend the night.

Our trek progresses through a chilly bamboo forest, followed by an uphill climb on a steep surface leading to the Himalaya Hotel. Beyond this point, the forest opens up, bathing us in sunlight and revealing stunning views of the glacial river below. The journey continues with a steep ascent through a drier forest, culminating in reaching Hinku Cave. Moving forward, we descend to a river and ascend to Deurali, where breathtaking views of nearby mountains and Mt. Dhaulagiri await. As the landscape transforms, the lush greenery gives way to captivating vistas of the valley, river, and cliffs adorned with waterfalls. The night will be spent at a lodge in Deurali.

Annapurna Base Camp

On this day, we ascend steadily along the valley trail, navigating rocky cliffs and occasional steep sections. After a stretch on a relatively flat path, we ascend to Machapuchare Base Camp (MBC). From MBC, we're treated to breathtaking views of Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna. Continuing our ascent, we walk to our ultimate destination, Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). This marks a lifetime experience for trekkers, surrounded by magnificent peaks. The only access to this area is through the gorge we've just traversed. Enjoy an overnight stay at ABC.

The path leads us through farmland and rainforest, providing an enjoyable stroll to our destination.

Pokhara

Following a hearty breakfast, we bid farewell to Jhinu Danda and revel in the scenic hill landscape of western Nepal en route to Nayapul. Lunch will be enjoyed along the way, marking the conclusion of our Annapurna Sanctuary trek. Upon reaching Nayapul, we transition to a drive back to Pokhara, where we celebrate the success of our Annapurna Base Camp journey. The night will be spent in Pokhara.
