Tackle a classic Himalayan trek to the spectacular heart of the Annapurna massif
Trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary, a secluded natural amphitheatre deep within the Himalayan massif. Climbing from terraced fields and rhododendron forests through the Modi Khola Valley, we stay in traditional teahouses, pass mountain villages and tackle steep stone steps as the great peaks close in around us. It’s a sustained trek, made more manageable by our carefully paced ascent and high staff-to-traveller ratio (1:4). The unforgettable reward is reaching Annapurna Base Camp, where we spend the night enclosed by Annapurna I, sacred Machhapuchhare and a vast sweep of snow-covered summits.’
