The Annapurna Sanctuary offers the
quickest way to get to the heart of the
Himalayas where glaciers replace rivers.
Some of the best of Nepal's diversity is
compressed into less than two weeks of
walking. The huge south face of
Annapurna (8090 m.) provides an
impressive backdrop, while the closeness
of 10 peaks over 6000 m. inspires a joy
as a fitting highlight of this
spectacular trek. The trek begins at
Pokhara with a walk up to Landruk or
Ghandruk. Ghandruk (2012m.) is one of
the largest Gurung villages in Nepal,
producing more Gorkha soldiers than any
other place in the kingdom. With its
superb views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna
South and Hiunchuli, it is a great place
to spend a day or two.
