Short Description of Annapurna base camp trek
Annapurna base camp trek is famous for trekkers. The
principal peaks of the western portion of the great
Annapurna Himal, including Hiunchuli, Annapurna
South, Fang, Annapurna, Ganagapurna, Annapurna 3 and
Machhapuchhare, are arranged almost precisely in a
circle about 10 miles in diameter with a deep
glacier-covered amphitheater at the center. From
this glacier basin, known as the Annapurna
Sanctuary, the Modi Khola knifes its way south in a
narrow gorge fully 12,000 ft. deep. Further south,
the gorge opens up into a wide and fertile valley,
the domain of the Gurungs. The middle and upper
portions of Modi Khola offer some of the best short
trekking routes in Nepal, and the valley is located
so that these treks can be easily combined with
treks into the Kali Gandaki region to the west.
In spite of the great heights of the surrounding
peaks and ice walls, the valley floor between 12,000
and 14,000 ft. can provide comfortable camping spots
in good weather. |
