Annapurna Sanctuary Trek Overview
The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is a spectacular journey leading to the heart of the Annapurna massif, where you enter a unique glacial basin surrounded by towering peaks. Known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, this sacred region offers awe-inspiring 360° panoramas of Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South, Machapuchare (Fishtail), and Hiunchuli, creating an amphitheater of mountains that feel both majestic and spiritual to those who enter. Local people consider this a sacred space, home to gods and ancient legends, adding a profound cultural dimension to this trek.
The journey follows the Modi Khola River upstream, passing through lush valleys, terraced farmland, and cultural Gurung villages before ascending into the dense bamboo and rhododendron forests that characterize the middle elevations. The trek’s progression moves through distinct ecological zones, transforming from warm subtropical terrain into cold alpine landscapes. The final approach to the Sanctuary leads through the dramatic "gateway" between Machapuchare and Hiunchuli, unveiling breathtaking views as you ascend toward Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m).
The adventure begins with transportation to Pokhara, followed by a scenic drive to Dhampus, where you embark on your journey through Landruk, Chhomrong, and Sinuwa, gaining elevation steadily. The path then leads through Himalaya and Deurali, offering glimpses of cascading waterfalls and steep glacial valleys before reaching Annapurna Base Camp—the trek’s highest point and most rewarding highlight. After soaking in the unparalleled beauty of the Sanctuary, you descend through Bamboo and Jhinu Danda, where natural hot springs provide a refreshing retreat before the final return to Pokhara and Kathmandu.
This 9-day adventure is an immersive Himalayan experience, blending scenic grandeur, cultural richness, and spiritual significance, making it one of the most rewarding short treks.
Note
Annapurna Sanctuary Trek begins with a 6-7 hour bus ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara (approx 200 km), which is included in the package. However, if you want to take a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara (20 mins approx) and vice versa, we can arrange the flight for an additional cost.
Please plan to arrive in Kathmandu no later than 3 p.m., one day before your trek starts. This helps with final preparations.

Day to Day Itinerary
Drive to Pokhara (820m / 2,690ft) (200 km / 124 miles ) west of the Kathmandu Valley, then drive to Dhampus (1650m / 5,413ft ) (25 km /15.5miles)
You will start after an early morning breakfast, traveling by tourist bus out of the Kathmandu Valley and along the picturesque Trishuli and Marsyangdi rivers. Along the way, you get to enjoy majestically flowing rivers, terraced fields, villages, and sights of the snowy mountains, including Ganesh and Manaslu peaks.
We will stop at Pokhara - the tourist capital of Nepal- and head to Dhampus, which is 2 hours away from Pokhara. Dhampus is a picturesque Gurung village that offers fabulous views of mountains such as Annapurna South Peaks, the Fishtail, Dhaulagiri, Hiunchuli, and other peaks. We will stay in Dhampus this day, enjoying the sunset views of the Himalayas.
Trek from Dhampus (1650m / 5,413ft ) to Landruk (1565m / 5,134ft )
After breakfast, we set off on our day's hike, and the trail will first take us to Pothana through rhododendron (the national flower of Nepal) and orchid-hung forests. The route is stone-paved on the steeper sections. You can catch the best views of Machhapuchhare from Pothana.
As we continue forward, we reach a clearing on a pass called Deurali, from where you can get fantastic views of Annapurna South and Hiunchuli. At this point, we are high up on the east side of the Modi Khola, and a descent follows through the forest alive with birds, ferns, and orchids, taking us to a grand Modi Khola canyon. Little ahead lies Landruk - our destination for this day. Landruk offers outstanding views of Machhapuchhare (6920m), Annapurna South (7219m), and Hiunchuli (6441m).
Trek from Landruk (1565m / 5,134ft) to Chhomrong (2165m) / Sinuwa (2340m)
From Landruk, we descend to the river and cross it. Then our route climbs quite steeply, high above the river, through bamboo forests and isolated farmsteads. We will be stopping at Jhinu Danda for lunch. If you are enthusiastic, you can walk for 20 minutes to reach the hot springs at Jhinu Danda and take a bath.
After Jhino Danda, the trail ascends to Chomrong Village. Chomrong is built on the steep hillside and has a few shops and several tea houses, wooden lodges, and the whole village faces Macchappuchare (Fish-Tail Peak). In case, we arrive at Chomrong early, we will trek further to Sinuwa to spend the night.
Trek from Chomrong (2,170m) / Sinuwa (2,340m) to Himalaya (2,890m) / Deurali (3,174m)
If at Chomrong, we descend through the spread-out picturesque Chomrong Village to a river crossing before climbing again and heading north of the Modi River Valley. We cross a suspension bridge and then trek to Sinuwa Danda.
If we stayed at Sinuwa Danda the previous night, we will start the trek from Sinuwa. The trail from Sinuwa Danda becomes somewhat wider as it passes through thick and dark rhododendron forests until we reach Khuldighar. From Khuldighar, we descend long and steep stone steps into deep bamboo and rhododendron forests to reach Bamboo. After a gentle ascent from Bamboo, we finally reach Himalaya. If we spent the last night at Sinuwa, we will trek to Deurali, otherwise, we will stay at Himalaya for the night.
Trek from Himalaya (2,890m) / Deurali ( 3174m) to Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m / 13,550ft)
Our path will differ in length based on where we spent the night. If we stayed in Himalaya, we ascend upstream gently along the banks of the Modi Khola and then through the rugged path over to the mountainside to reach Deurali. However, if we stayed at Deurali, the trek progresses from there.
The walk until Machhapuchhre Base Camp is somewhat strenuous. From Machhapuchhre Base Camp, we get excellent views of the majestic Machhapuchhre, Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna, which is certainly a rewarding experience.
We continue our trek leaving Macchapuchhare Base Camp until we reach Annapurna Base Camp. From the Annapurna Base Camp you will savor the mesmerizing views of Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, and other peaks.
Trek from Annapurna Base Camp (4,130m / 13,550ft) to Bamboo (2,350m / 7,700ft)
After savoring another sunrise on the Himalayas from our otherworldly Annapurna Base Camp, we will have our breakfast. Then it is time to retrace our path out of Annapurna Sanctuary and Modi River valley. Since we will be descending, the trek is quite easy, and on the way, you can enjoy the views of several waterfalls. We will eventually make it to Bamboo, our destination for the day.
Trek from Bamboo (2,350m / 7,700ft) to Jhinu Danda (1,780m / 6,393ft) and nearby natural hot springs
We continue our descent, passing through the same serene rhododendron, bamboo, and oak forests that we pursued during our ascent. Then we ascend slightly to Chomrong village before dropping down to the small, peaceful settlement of Jhinu Danda. This village has nearby riverside hot springs where you can soak your tired muscles.
Trek from Jhinu Danda (1,780m / 6,393ft) to Siwa/Ghandruk Phedi (1,150m / 3,770ft) , drive to Pokhara (820m) via Nayapul (1,050m)
We have reached our final day on the trekking trails. Today, you will make a pleasant hike along the Modi River as we head down the beautiful Modi River Valley. The descent takes us through the fertile landscape until we reach Siwa/Ghandruk Phedi. We then say goodbye to the trails and make a return drive through picturesque countryside to Pokhara.
Drive from Pokhara (820m / 2,690ft) to Kathmandu (1,350m / 4,450ft)
Today is an early start as we depart on a tourist bus and return to Kathmandu. The 200 km route first follows the banks of Marsyangdi River and then the Trishuli River, offering fabulous natural scenery and farmlands. The bus makes a final climb, and we reach Kathmandu. We hope that your Annapurna Sanctuary trek was extremely enjoyable.

The menu includes nutritious and tasty options such as Tibetan bread, momo (dumplings), Sherpa stew, pasta, vegetable curries, and a range of local and international dishes.

This package does not include lunch and dinner in Pokhara. Similarly, drinks (hot, cold, alcoholic) are not included in the package.

Winter (December-February) can be challenging due to cold temperatures and snow, while summer (June-August) coincides with the monsoon season, making trails slippery. However, trekking is possible throughout the year, and each season offers unique experiences.
The mean daily temperature at the Annapurna Base Camp is between 8 to 0°C in spring, 10 to 23°C in summer, 5 to 20°C in high altitudes, and -5 to -10°C in winter.
