Our journey from Kimche takes us to Ghandruk, a delightful village predominantly inhabited by the Gurung community. If time permits, a visit to the Gurung museum is on the agenda before we retire for the night in Ghandruk.
At this point, we ascend for approximately an hour until we reach Kimrungdanda. Along the way, we're treated to stunning vistas of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, the Fishtail Mountain (Machhapuchhre), and Ganggapurna. Following a steep descent to the Kimrong Khola, we ascend sharply from there to Chere Danda. After a brief descent, the path becomes more gradual, leading us to Chhomrong—a picturesque village nestled beneath the towering Annapurna massif. We'll spend the night in Chhomrong.
We make our way down using a staircase of 2500 stone steps and cross over the bridge above Chhomrong Khola. This leads us to an uphill trek towards Sinuwa. Continuing through a stunning forest, we reach Kuldihar and then proceed with a gentle descent to Bamboo. We'll spend the night in Bamboo.
Descending via a staircase of 2500 stone steps, we cross a bridge above Chhomrong Khola, transitioning into an uphill journey toward Sinuwa. Traversing through a magnificent forest, we arrive at Kuldihar and then descend gently to Bamboo, where we'll spend the night.
Today's trek involves a gentle ascent through a riverbed, followed by a steep trail along the mountainside. The hike from Bagar to Machhapuchhre Base Camp demands some effort. Once at Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the sight of the majestic Machhapuchhre, alongside Mt. Hiunchuli, Annapurna South, Annapurna I, Annapurna III, Gandharvachuli, and Gangapurna, rewards us richly. Vegetation gradually fades as we progress towards ABC, and the path widens as we step into the Annapurna sanctuary. Here, we're treated to breathtaking views of Annapurna's nearly vertical south face towering above. The sanctuary offers an unobstructed 360-degree panorama, showcasing the dynamic beauty of the surroundings.
