ANNAPURNA "OFF THE BEATEN PATH" TREKS

HEA/05 MOUNT FISHTAIL TREK March - May & September - November/December
15 days Camping Trek Grade 3 (Moderate)
"Off the Beaten Path" and exclusive to Himalayan Envpro Adventures

From Pokhara the trail leads away from teahouse routes and through terraced fields
towards Siklis and the foot of Lamjung Himal, then to Ghachok. Both are non-tourist
villages with picturesque houses and friendly villagers.
Gachok is in a truly superb setting. It is situated along a high clifftop which drops
vertically to the Seti Khola river below. To the north, the giant peaks of Machhapuchhare
(the "Fishtail" mountain), Annapurna IV and II fill the sky.
From here a walk through a pheasant reserve followed by a climb up a grassy ridgeline
take you to a large plateau at 3200 m. The views from here must be seen to be believed: Machhapuchhare is directly overhead, to its left are Annapurna South and Hiunchuli, to
its right Annapurna IV, Annapurna II and Lamjung. Other features include sightings of
blue mountain sheep and
pheasants and a variety of wildflowers and stands of magnolia and rhododendron trees.
Groups of other trekkers are extremely rare up here.

This plateau is ideal for establishing a camp for 2 nights in order to acclimatise.
Another ridgeline leads up to another plateau at 3900 m from where a Color daytrip can
be made to Mardi Himal Base Camp at approx. 4500 m. From this vantage point
you can even see the upper two-thirds of Annapurna I,
normally hidden from view. The descent from the 3200 m plateau mentioned earlier
follows a different route: first through pastures, then through forest with flower
filled clearings followed by an easy trail along the Mardi Khola back to Pokhara.
Transport by tourist bus to and from start of trek.

2008 Price for 15 Day Mount Fishtail Trek:
$US 910 per person ex Kathmandu for groups of at least 2 persons
Discounts for groups of 4 or more persons.

HEA/07 ANNAPURNA EXPLORER
"Off the beaten path" camping trek
10 Days Trekking Grade 3 (Moderate)
February - May and October - December

After starting out from Pokhara,this trek soon takes you away from the teahouse
trails and heads off into beautiful country not often visited by trekkers.
The route leads through forest of oak and rhododendron and emerges on a high
ridgetop at approx. 4000 m elevation far above the Modi Khola valley. Highlight
of this trek is an extensive exploration of this high plateau with natural low growing
rhododendron gardens (in full flower during April) and face-to-face views of the
giant snow peaks of Machhapuchhare, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
Up here you find yourself at the site of one of Machhapuchhare's base camps,
established before permission to climb this mountain was withdrawn. In fact the
summit has never been climbed in recorded history, the closest attempt reached
50 m below the peak. Two of the overnight stops on the return trek are near
picturesque villages where the influx of foreign visitors has not made itself felt.
Transport by tourist bus to and from start of trek.

Price in 2008 for 10 day trek:
US$ 670 per person ex Kathmandu for group of at least 2 persons
Discounts for groups of 4 or more persons.
