The classic trek in the Annapurna
region is also called Annapurna sanctuary; the
site of the base camp is used by expeditions attempting the massif south face
of Annapurna I. The trek to Annapurna
base camp combines some of the most spectacular Himalayan scenery with a
fascinating insight into the life of middle hill Nepalese. Spend at least one
full day inside the sanctuary, side trips across the south Annapurna
glacier, north Annapurna base camp allow for
an even better appreciation of this unique place. Anytime, trekkers must beware
of snowfall and avalanches that can block the narrow entrance to the sanctuary.
