Annapurna Sanctuary Trek (ABC)

Annapurna Sanctuary (ABC) treks, coined by outsiders, denoted the high basin southwest of Annapurna and the headwaters of the Modi Khola. The gigantic mountains named for the goddesses Annapurna and Gangapurna, important figures in Hindu myth and folklore, justify calling it a sanctuary. Its gate, the deep gorge between the peaks Hiunchuli and Machhapuchhre, marks a natural division between the dense rain forest bamboo jungle of the narrow Modi Khola valley and the scattered summits and immense walls of the mountain fortress inside. This area is also referred to as the Annapurna Base Camp and the Machhapuchhre Base camp.

Annapurna Sanctuary treks is one of the beautiful trekking in Nepal which offers a magnificent view of the Annapurna range and mixed culture of ethnic people of Gurung and Magars whilst passing through the beautiful villages, green lush forest and hot water springs.
