This wonderful Nepal Himalayan trekking adventure to the truly wondrous Annapurna Sanctuary rightfully deserves the reputation as a classic and is widely regarded as one of the easier true, great Himalayan treks. For majestic high mountain scenery and ever changing, picturesque landscapes, this trek is hard to beat. Passing through delightful villages with neatly terraced rice fields through forests of Rhododendron and Oak awe inspiring mountain panoramas unfold with the rising sun. Heading further up the Modi Khola into bamboo woodlands you emerge through a previously secret portal to enter an amazing throne room of mountain gods, the Annapurna Sanctuary. Here at the base of snow-covered behemoths, the mountains of the Annapurna are revealed in close up detail and amazing clarity.
Private Guided Departures are also available for two or more people travelling together. Please contact us for details and state 'Private Departure' in the comments box.

- A short flight along the Himalayas to Pokhara and then a brief drive to the trailhead at Nayapul. The trek begins with an uphill to Ulleri.
- Day 4
- Several small hills to ascend and descend, with glimpses of Annapurna South. Climbing up through bamboo forest we ultimately reach Ghorepani.
- Day 5
- A pre-dawn start to make the short ascent to what is widely regarded as one of the finest viewpoints in the Himalaya - Poon Hill. We aim to reach the top just before first light and hope for a classic sunrise to illuminate Annapurna South and reveal views across the Kali Gandaki to the imposing bulk of Dhaulagiri. Down to Ghorepani for breakfast and then down and up to Tadapani.
- Day 6
- Ascend through Rhododendron forest above the Modi Khola, contour terraced fields to then climb up to Chomrong.

- Day 9
- A dramatic walk through one of the most spectacular mountain environments as we properly enter the Annapurna Sanctuary.

- Day 11
- Two sustained ascents and descents to Chomrong and then down, down, down to Ghandruk.
- Day 12
- A steady descent from Ghandruk towards the valley floor of the Modi Khola and finally easy more level walking to Birethanti and Nayapul. From the trailhead we transfer back to Pokhara.
- Day 13
