The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek leads to the base camp on Annapurna I’s southern face. On the trail, hikers experience the highs and lows of Nepal’s diverse environment, as well as the distinct cultural influences of settlement regions.
On your 14-day journey to Annapurna, you will arrive at the base camp of Annapurna I (8,091m/26,545ft), the world’s tenth highest Himalayan peak at over 8000 meters. The journey begins in the lowlands with bamboo groves and rhododendrons and continues via the Modi Khola canyon to the Annapurna sanctuary’s summit amphitheater.
The high glacier basin you will pass through on the Annapurna sanctuary trek is a wild Himalayan landscape surrounded by ten of Nepal’s tallest peaks. This circular plateau is about 4,130 meters high and surrounded by mountain ranges like as Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, and Dhaulagiri, all of which are over 7,000 meters above sea level.
Until 1956, outsiders were unaware of the tiny pathways connecting the snow-capped Himalayan summits that follow the Modi Khola (river). However, after a few meetings with the natural and creative splendor, the walk to the sanctuary reached its peak. The most notable feature of the Annapurna sanctuary is that it receives only 7 hours of sunlight per day during peak summer season.
It is due to the high mountain ranges and peaks that surround the area. Annapurna Sanctuary’s unusual combination of height and depth supports an incredible diversity of ecosystems. The hills to the south are “covered by thick tropical forests of rhododendrons and bamboo”, while the slopes to the north, in the shade of rain, have “dry cold weather like in the nearby Tibetan plateau.”
The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is the result of the preservation of Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient animism deities, as well as a rich trove of gold and other materials left by the snakes. It is also mirrored in the Gurung caste’s sacred settlement, which is why women are considered untouchable because they are not permitted to carry eggs or meat into the region.
The sanctuary has seen a surge in pedestrian traffic in recent years, owing to its location as the primary route to the Annapurna ranges’ summits. The Annapurna Sanctuary is currently part of the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP), which forbids outgoing trekkers from gathering timber or grazing animals.

The Annapurna Sanctuary journey is a popular and unusual journey to Annapurna.

Aside from the above-mentioned stuff, you can also bring items that are essential to you. But keep the ack-pack as light as feasible. It will make it much easier to reach the walking destinations.
Autumn is the finest season for Annapurna Sanctuary trekking since it provides spectacular vistas of the Himalayas. Apart from Autumn, spring is regarded as the second-best season for this journey because the trails are dry and the weather is generally clear. We may also go hiking in other seasons (monsoon and winter), but it will be more difficult owing to rain, insects, and freezing temperature.
Both the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek and the Annapurna Circuit Trek are trekking routes in the Annapurna region that offer breathtaking views of the Himalayas as well as the local flora and fauna. The Annapurna circuit hike extends across four districts: Lamjung, Manang, Mustang, and Kaski, completing the whole circuit around the range.
It provides a panoramic view of popular peaks around the world, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail). We also saw the massive Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA). Every year, around 100,000 trekkers make their way along this trail. The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek starts and concludes in an area called Kaski. It provides an opportunity to see the world’s tenth highest peak, Annapurna, from a close distance. The vantage point known as Ghorepani Poon Hill also provides a view of the sunrise and sunset across the Himalayas.
