a ridge, inhabited by the friendly Gurungs. Overnight at tents.
Day
07 - Dhampus - Landrung (5,085 ft)
Passing through forests and
villages with the very welcoming tea houses, this day's trek keeps us on the
ridge with fabulous vistas until Deurali (6,890 ft), the high point of this
walk, then descending to Bheri Kharka - Sheep Pasture, high above the Modi
Khola valley for lunch Not far away lies Landrung where you will spend
overnight at tents.
Day 08 - Landrung - Chomrung (6,726
ft)
A grand days walk which takes you into the Modi Khola valley with
views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Gangapurna and Machapuchhare. The
valley you will be trekking through in the next few days is all visible.
First a short descent to the river then begins the climb of the day. Lunch
is at Jhinu, Overnight at tents. a place which not only welcomes it's weary
travelers with good food but also known it's hot springs.
Day
09 - Chomrung - Dovan (8,530 ft)
Despite modest linear distance
covered the trail makes a constant switch back through the Modi Khola gorge.
In the initial stage of the walk the route gives the possibility of views
but later as the trail heads among rhododendron and bamboo forests it gets
scarce but here the birds and Languar monkeys abound. You stop at Bamboo for
lunch - a teashop amidst, one can guess - bamboo. An hour's walk reaches you
to Dovan a place with three teahouses in a narrow, shaded valley.
Day
10 - Dovan - Machapucchare Base Camp (12,139 ft)
Now as you walk in
the deep Modi Khola valley the trail winds up among bambook thickets and
forest to the famous Hinku cave that once housed a lodge. The cave lies
separated from Deurali, the lunch spot by a stream that flows right off the
Hiunchuli Peak that looms above you. Beyond Deurali the temperature
vegetation quickly transforms into short, stunted Alpine. Lying too close to
Machapuchhare and the surrounding Mountains the views from Machapuchhare
Base Camp may not be up to your expectation. But to be able to enjoy the
next few days. Stay of a night here is a wise move.
Day 11
- Machapucchare Base Camp - Annapurna Base Camp (13,550 ft) - Dovan
The
trek to Annapurna Base Camp ascends at a steady gradient, never very
shortly, but the altitude is likely to have a tiring effect. Do not hurry,
but ascend slowly & enjoy the expanding panorama. It's a clear,
well-defined trail and as you gain height the lodge buildings can be seen
ahead. The final rise is the steepest. After some time at this wonderful
vantage point we turn back to retrace our steps going all the way back to
Dovan.
Day 12 - Dovan - Chomrung
Trek up to Chomrung
and spend overnight there.
Day 13 - Chomrung - Gandrung
(6,362 ft)
This day you descend to Kimrong Khola on a fairly steep
trail through Oak Forest for lunch. Then it's up again on the southern side
to the picturesque village of Ghandrung with the last close views of
Annapurna South and Huinchul. This large and prosperous village is also the
headquarters of the very successful Annapurna Conservation Area.
