Annapurna Base Camp Trekking |
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. |
