Day 08: Bamboo to Deurali, 3230m five hours trekking
We arrive at Himalaya Lodge and walk up the Modi Khola. The valley narrows into a steep-sided gorge.By the time the large fire-blackened rock overhang known as Hinku Cave is reached, the vegetation has thinned and the gorge narrowed to be only a few hundred metres wide.
Day 09: Deurali to Machhapuchhre Base Camp 3700m 4/5 hours trekking
Now the valley narrows into a steep gorge rising above the vegetation line until we pass through into sanctuary ‘gates’. Once through the sanctuary, we cross moraines to a cluster of huts called Machhapuchhre Base Camp, with Annapurna South, Himchuli, Annapurna Fang (Varaha Shikhar) and the magnificent Machhapuchhre, the Fishtail mountain, towering above us.
Day 10: MachhapuchhreBase Camp to Annapurna Sanctuary 4130m 2/3 hours trekking
In places the path is a little rougher as it crosses rocks and a small stream. Tantalizing glimpses of the massive peaks that form the sanctuary appear and urge us on. When we reach the moraines the view on all sides of snow-capped mountains, fluted walls of ice and enormous rock buttress are incredible; this is a mountain amphitheater of spectacular size. Whenever you stand in the sanctuary the 360 degree views are breathtakingly beautiful. Starting from Hiuchuli 6451m and turning clockwise we see:Mt Annapurna South 7667m,Fang 7646m, Mt Annapurna I 8105m, Tent Peak 5673m, Mt Gangapurna 7467m, Mt Annapurna III 7568m and the most spectacular of all Machhapuchhre 7055m.
