Because they have a place. You will have value. You long for these positions in your life; similarly, Annapurna Sanctuary Trek or Annapurna Base Camp Trek is loaded with beautiful sceneries after Everest Base Camp Trek that trekkers would like to do both from their hearts and minds. These treks are not out of reach because Tribhuwan International Airport is open even in Covid-19. 14 days for Everest Base Camp Trekking or Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking, both are the same, but for Everest, be sure to add 2 more extra days because the weather might hinder your trek in Lukla. Foreigners like the Annapurna Region as much as the Everest Region because of the Annapurna Massifs. Standing in front of these, you will be taken to a different world where there are tall mountains that need to be mentioned several times. See the map of Annapurna Sanctuary Trekking and its route on Google to prepare for your vacation in Nepal. It’s only 3000 m plus, which means it is easy to compare to Everest Base Camp Trekking, so what are you waiting for? After 2022, you can land directly at Pokhara International Airport to start Annapurna Sanctuary Trek or Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

  • Overview Outline Itinerary
    Singu Chuli Peak Climbing Overview Singu Chuli, 6501 meter high is formerly known, as Fluted Peak is the 3rd highest amongst the "Trekking Peaks" of Nepal and situated in the Annapurna Sanctuary adjoined to Tharpu Chuli and across Hiunchuli trekking peaks placing a privileged, splendid amphitheatre of glaciers and nodes with, in background the mythical southern face of Annapurna. This peak is really an attractive and compared its beauty with India´s highest and probably the most beautiful peak, Nanda Devi but difficult, one that has proven too difficult for commercial climbing groups. Part of the problem is the steepness of the mountain but the final problem is the summit: a 100-foot high block of ice coated with snow. There are a number of different routes on the mountain with icefalls. The way up to the base camp is also the way back down. The trek is not easy, and the adjustment to high altitudes may be difficult, and altitude sickness is very common. On the other hand, anyone with a reasonable level of physical fitness can walk the trek. This trek is one of the most popular in Nepal and for good reason. Annapurna Base Camp is surrounded by a cirque of awe-inspiring peaks, including the awesome south face of Annapurna I (8,091m), in a natural amphitheatre which is quite simply mind-blowing. Our expedition starts from Pokhara with a short drive to the road head. We ascend well- trodden trails through terraced farmland and traditional villages. As we climb through ancient oak and rhododendron forest, across sparkling streams and past waterfalls, the world of snow and ice starts to unfold above us.

    Empowered lives. Resilient nations. CONSERVATION AREA MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, PARCHE Nepal Equator Initiative Case Studies Local sustainable development solutions for people, nature, and resilient communities UNDP EQUATOR INITIATIVE CASE STUDY SERIES Local and indigenous communities across the world are advancing innovative sustainable development solutions that work for people and for nature. Few publications or case studies tell the full story of how such initiatives evolve, the breadth of their impacts, or how they change over time. Fewer still have undertaken to tell these stories with community practitioners themselves guiding the narrative. The Equator Initiative aims to fill that gap. The Equator Prize 2014 was awarded to 35 outstanding local community and indigenous peoples initiatives working to meet climate and development challenges through the conservation and sustainable use of nature. Selected from 1,234 nomination from across 121 countries, the winners were recognized for their achievements at a prize ceremony held in conjunction with the UN Secretary General’s Climate Summit and the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in New York City. Special emphasis was placed on forest and ecosystem restoration, food security and agriculture, and water and ocean management. The following case study is one in a growing series that describes vetted and peer-reviewed best practices intended to inspire the policy dialogue needed to take local success to scale, to improve the global knowledge base on local environment and development solutions, and to serve as models for replication. Case studies are best viewed and understood with reference to The Power of Local Action: Lessons from 10 Years of the Equator Prize, a compendium of lessons learned and policy guidance that draws from the case material.

  • Annapurna Base Camp, Nepal
    Annapurna Base Camp Trek in the heart of the Annapurna Himalaya Introduction Journey from the lower foothills of the Himalayas to the Annapurna Sanctuary. Beginning in Pokhara, you will trek through lush green hill country typical of the Pokhara Valley. Tiny thatched-roof villages, set among terraced fields, paint a scenic picture against the Himalayan backdrop – you can expect magnificent views of the snowy range of Annapurna, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri, including perhaps the most majestic of all the Himalayan peaks, Machapuchare, or ‘Fish Tail’. From the rural villages and farms of Pokhara, the trail continues through a deep gorge that separates Hiunchuli and Machapuchare peaks, before entering the dense rain and bamboo forests of the narrow Modi Khola (‘river’) valley. The trail then continues to the Annapurna Sanctuary, its immense walls visible at a distance, giving it the character of a mountain fortress. This is a comparatively easy high-altitude trek, along a well-trodden trail that passes through several settlements. The main challenge for the group will be the altitude (they will be climbing over 4,000m), and potentially difficult weather conditions. Your Financial Protection All monies paid by you for the air holiday package shown [or flights if appropriate] are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is ATOL 3145.
