The most popular trekking area in Nepal is situated north of Pokhara. This trek offers some of the most dramatic close-up views of the tallest mountain peaks in the world. The abrupt variations in altitude provide an astonishing experience. The summit of Machhapuchhre (6997m) is less than 30 kilometers from the airstrip in Pokhara (850m). In less than a week we move from the sub-tropical areas around Pokhara to high tundra and the glaciers of the Annapurna sanctuary. Inhabited by the Gurung and Magar people - the friendly smiling people from the famous Gorkha regiment of the British and Indian armies. The Annapurna Sanctuary offers a good mix of high mountains and Himalayan culture on this trek.  The Annapurna Himal lies between the Kali Gandaki and Marsyangdi river valleys, forming a solid, mountain bastion.  In its span of 40 miles, it encompasses some twelve peaks higher than 7000 m. and numerous others over (6000 m) also frequented by many Hindu pilgrims is in this area.  The Annapurna Sanctuary forms a 360 Degree natural amphitheater ringed by Huin Chuli (6441 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), Annapurna I (8091 m), Gangapurna (7454 m), Tharpu Chuli (5663 m) and Machhapuchare or "Fish Tail" as it is commonly known.
