exhilarating trek has been designed to ensure the most
spectacular views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Ranges.
From Pokhara we ascend a series of ridges that rise

as we trek through luxurious forests to gain outstanding
views of Hiunchuli (6441m) and Annapurna South (7270m).
Higher up, we'll cross a series of alpine pastures finally
reaching our camp beneath the huge fang face of Annapurna.
