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.

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.
