The Annapurna Sanctuary is a high glacial basin to the north of Pokhara at the very heart of some of Nepal’s highest and most famous mountains. This magnificent amphitheatre is called a sanctuary not because of laws that protect wildlife within its boundaries, but because of its natural beauty and the divine presence of the goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna, both important figures in Hindu myth and folklore.
The trek allows a couple of days in the Sanctuary meadows at around 13,000 feet, to enjoy the superb views of Annapurna, Machapuchare, Hiunchuli and many more.
