Annapurna Sanctuary Trek

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek – A Journey into Nepal’s Majestic Heart

The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is one of the most scenic and rewarding trekking adventures in Nepal, guiding travelers through rich forests, traditional villages, and ultimately into the breathtaking glacial basin known as the Annapurna Sanctuary. Situated in central Nepal, this trek offers a spectacular amphitheater surrounded by towering peaks like Annapurna I (8,091m), Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and others.

Trekkers are not only greeted with pristine natural beauty but also the unique blend of Gurung and Magar culture along the way. The trail takes you through rhododendron-filled forests, picturesque rice terraces, and across crystal-clear mountain rivers. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) at 4,130 meters feels like standing at the gateway of the gods — completely enveloped by towering Himalayan giants.

The trek starts and ends at Nayapul, offering an excellent mix of natural beauty, cultural encounters, and moderate challenges — making it ideal for those looking to combine both thrill and serenity. Whether it’s the sunrise from Poon Hill, the serene Machhapuchhre Base Camp, or the majestic views at ABC, the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek promises memories for a lifetime.
