This
is an unique trek on the foothill of the Annapurna south
specially designed for those who love to enjoy the flora
and fauna, panoramic view of the Himalayan range in
a comfortable way including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Fishtail
and other Himalayan ranges.
This is an ideal trek best called as a classic walk
right into the heart of the mountains and our gentle
walk start from lowland to the outstanding high mountains
with breathtaking view of the Annapurna range. The walk
ends at a point where you are virtually surrounded by
soaring Himalayan peaks. Once this trek was a real expedition
into an uninhabited wilderness area.
The trek involves several ascents and descents but
not so hard to attempt as there are several alternative
routes to the sanctuary, all meeting at Chomrong.
This trek provides an excellent opportunity to experience
the fasinating glimpse of rich culture, typical Nepalese
lifestyle and ultimate thrill of trekking in the Himalayas
at the high elevation.
