- Laps of Annapurna Sanctuary
The area below the base camp of Annapurna south is called Annapurna Base Camp. This trek starts at Nayapul and trailing all the way to the Base Camp of the Annapurna South. The view along the trails is superb. Walking slowly and passing through terraced farms, we reach Machhapuchre (Fish Tail) base camp. 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 companionship of 10 peaks over 6000 m. inspires a joy as a fitting highlight of this spectacular trek. With its jaw dropping stances of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli, it is a great place to spend a day or two. We return to Phedi and catch our vehicle for Pokhara. This area is well developed with lodge facilities.
