Our
trek commences from Nayapul, which is an
hours scenic drive from Pokhara with some
fabulous views of Annapurna (South)
and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) en route . From
Nayapul, a half an hours walk brings us to
Birethanti, situated at the confluence of
Modi and Bhurung rivers, here the route divides.
We take the West trail towards Ghorepani,
a trading village situated at an elevation
of 2750 m., where there is a tremendous vantage
point (Poon hill - 3194 m.) to view both
the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himal. The views
at sunrise from Poon hill are simply stunning. From Ghorepani, the trail leads East
to the hamlet of Tadapani and on towards
Chhomrong, from where we commence our journey
into the Annapurna Sanctuary and onwards
to Annapurna Base Camp. The journey to base
camp follows the valley in between the huge
ramparts of Himchuli & Machhapuchhre,
eventually emerging into an awesome Amphitheater,
where a labyrinth of mountains and Annapurna
I tower almost vertically above us.
