The trail gradually climbs through
an ever-changing landscape of rice fields, misty forests and
tiny local villages. After two days trekking we visit Poon Hill
for the famous view of Dhaulagiri and Kali Gandaki gorge. We
move on towards a world of snow and ice in the center of the
Annapurna Massif.
At the Annapurna Base camp you are surrounded
by a spectacular ring of mountains including Annapurna I (8091
m), Annapurna III (7555 m), Gangapurna (7454 m) and Machhapuchhare
or Fishtail Mountain (6997 m). We spend two days exploring the
area before returning to Pokhara in four days along the Modi
Khola river.
