It's a tough and strenuous hike but this is more than compensated by the majesty of the Himalayas surrounding us. After exploring the Machhapuchhre base camp, we will trek to Annapurna base camp, which is another strenuous day ahead of you but quite worth it as your trial leads you from the Machhapuchhre base camp to the famous Annapurna base camp where vegetation gradually disappears and we encounter numerous snow boulders melting to form streams. The path gradually widens as we enter the fabled Annapurna sanctuary, and the panoramic 360-degree views will quite literally take your breath away - Machhapuchhare, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Hiuchuli, and other peaks - standing directly in front of you, unimpeded by anything else.
