Saturday 26 September to Sunday 11 October 2009. Bordering the famous ‘Annapurna Tour’, the valleys that we trek through will lead us from the sub-tropical climate of Pokhara Valley at 750m to the glaciers of Annapurna base camp at 4,130m. We will meet the people of Gurung and witness the landscapes that have fascinated many generations of mountaineers in the past. These valleys have always provided a special passage for processions of yaks traveling from Tibet. Some of the most beautiful characteristics of the mythical Himalayas can be found here in a region that has remained truly wild: scores of terrace cultivations, emerald torrents, bamboo, pine and rhododendron forests and huge alpine pastures where yaks graze…In the hills, the Gurungs have formed beautiful and ancient villages with stone and wood houses. Higher up, just next to the Tibetan border, the Samapa people of Tibetan origin, retain their traditional civilization at the foot of the magnificent summits of Himal Chuli, Kang Guru, Manaslu and the Annapurna peaks.
