Annapurna region

From Pokhara, we were driven by jeep to Dhampus where we set off on a 3-hour trek along the ridge at the start of the Mardi Himal trail. The weather was perfect and we had amazing views of the Annapurna range comprising from the west (left):
• Annapurna II / Hiuchuli
• Machhapuchare (the pyramid shaped peak)
• Lamjung Himal

The walk itself took us through several small villages and we even stopped at a tiny primary school; the views seemed to get better as went further! Our destination was the self sufficient eco-lodge at Astam; great views and great walks are assured.Read more
