    A nice little 5 mile hike today following a ridgeline in the lower Annapurna foothills with views of the Pokhara Valley. The route then dropped to the Modi River Valley, where Sanctuary Lodge is located. The property has magnificent views of the sacred and unclimbed Fishtail Mountain (or Machhapuchhare, as it is locally known). A quick stroll down to the river in the afternoon.
