Annapurna Sanctuary Trek brings you into the heart of Annapurna Himalaya; it is intended to fulfill the dream of many people to experience the significant mountain holiday at the base of the world´s famous Annapurna Himal 8091m, the region’s most beautiful peak Machhapuchhre (6997m), Annapurna South, Gangapurna and Hiuchuli, etc. in the area. The place is a high glacial basin lying 40 km north of Pokhara.
The unique combination of heights and depths in the Annapurna Sanctuary gives rise to an astonishing diversity of ecosystems. The south-facing slope is “covered in dense tropical jungles of rhododendron and bamboo.” In contrast, the north-facing slopes, in the rain shadow, have “drier colder weather similar to that of the nearby Tibetan Plateau.”
Old Beliefs of Annapurna Sanctuary
The entire Sanctuary was considered holy to the Gurung people, one of the many residents to inhabit the area. They believed it was the storage area of gold and various resources left there by the Nagas- the serpent gods known in India. The Sanctuary thinks that it was home to several deities from Hinduism and Buddhism as well the older animistic gods.
In recent years, the number of trekkers to the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek has increased substantially. Because the Sanctuary forms the base of one of the major routes to the peaks of the Annapurna range. The Annapurna Sanctuary is now part of the Annapurna Conservation Area Project. So, it restricts the number of outside travelers, firewood gathering, and domestic animal grazing. This program is only for guidelines, so our itinerary is flexible and customizable per your interest and time. For instance, people having time restrictions can still enjoy the Everest Base Camp Trek-9 Days.
Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is one of the most exemplary two weeks tea house treks in the Annapurna region. Thus, it will end in the fabulous high mountains amphitheater called the Annapurna base camp. Further, the trekking route passes through several weather conditions, from semitropical to alpine.
Above all, the vegetation changes accordingly, giving trekkers an exquisite variety of flora and fauna. You will meet ethnic groups, so the trekking is through the live and open depository. Likewise, you may experience several diverse and friendly individual cultures in Nepal.
We begin the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek step by step, ascending through the attractive, varied landscape. Moreover, you will find cultivated terraced fields and lush forests of oaks, and make sure to enjoy the magnolia and rhododendron trees. Further, the first-morning hike to Poon Hill (3230 meters) provides you with the most effective attainable panoramic sunrise view. This will be a fabulous experience of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges.
