Annapurna Base camp Trek ( Annapurna Sanctuary Trek)

Secondly, there is a variety of terrain from lowland villages and rice terraces to glaciers which reflect the outstanding view. So, this is a fine opportunity to explore the Himalayan peaks in a short time. As well as, this trek also helps to minimize having the altitude and flight problems of the Everest region. Here, the Himalayan ranges of the Annapurna consider by the Nepalese as a “Sanctuary”. So, the word ‘Sanctuary’ stands as a place where the gods live.

So from the viewpoint, we can explore the sunrise with the panoramic mountain views including Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m) to the west. Then after trek continues through ancient oak and rhododendron forest. On the route, we cross sparkling streams and past waterfalls. So, the world of snow and ice starts to unfold above us. Among these, the trail of Modi Khola valley leads us to the sanctuary as the gorge widens.
The steady climb up to ABC reveals the full splendor of this natural amphitheater. So, on reaching the destination, we have leveraged 360-degree views of the Himalayan peaks. Therefore, the trip combines pretty villages and terraced fields of millet and rice.
