Annapurna Trek, Nepal

Some photos from our 2013 trip to the Annapurna range in Nepal.

The Annapurna  base camp, or Annapurna sanctuary is one of the best Alpine treks in Nepal.  The Annapurna Himal is a vast massif with several peaks above 7000m. Part of the range forms a natural amphitheatre known as the Annapurna Sanctuary, ringed by such giants as Annapurna 1, Glacier Dome, Gangapurna, Fang and Machhapuchhare.

This is a fairly strenuous alpine trek offering close-up mountain views equal to any in the Himalaya.  The next available trek to Annapurna is in October 2014; see here for more details: http://franceoutdoors.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Newsletter/Newsletter_2013/September_2013/september_2013_newsletter.html
