Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is a spectacular journey on foot to the South Face of Annapurna I – a pleasant hike through the diverse Nepalese landscape and its culture. On your 14-day journey you will reach the base camp of the world’s 10th highest mountain, Annapurna (8,091m/26,545ft); visit several UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu, enjoy breathtaking Himalayan vistas during the trek and experience the sunrise over the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges from Poon Hill.
The itinerary for Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is designed for trekkers who wish to reach the Annapurna base camp in a relaxed manner with visits to World Heritage Sites and Poon Hill. However, for guests who are constrained time-wise, Annapurna Base Camp Trek- 11 days would be more appropriate.

When we decided yo travel to Nepal we conducted some initial research on Nepalese travel companies and quickly came across Himalayan Glacier. Starting with our first email exchange, the company made us feel very well taken care of. The travel agents helped us to choose a trekking tour and tailored it to our individual travel plan. The pre-trip communicaction went smoothly and all our questions were answered quickly and comprehensively.
When we arrived in Kathmandu, our mountain guide Subash picked us up from the airport and catered to our every need from that moment on until our departure two weeks later. We are so glad that we got to meet him and experience Nepal with such a warmhearted person by our side.
After a day of sightseeing and trek preparation in Kathmandu, we started our 10 day hiking trip in the Annapurna region. The route was absolutely wonderful and we were humbled by the beauty of the nature that we were surrounded by. In addition, the trekking tour was perfectly organized. Subash and our porter Bobbin took care of every organisational task along the way which made us enjoy the trek even more.
We will definetely come back for an other adventure with Himalayan Glacier!
I€™d like to express heartfelt gratitude to the company for accommodating and caring for us during our trip. I feel the trip was very well organised and smooth in it€™s execution. We had an amazing time with lots of fun and beautiful scenery. The accomodation for the duration of the trip was comfortable and the food very delicious. Thank you so much for the surprise of my birthday cake! I was happy to have a day in the beautiful mountains and it was made even more special. We were very happy with the driver who initially picked us up and dropped us off from the international airport. I sadly, cannot remember his name. His manner and service were friendly and excellent. I would like to make special mention of the staff who travelled with us, Pradip Khadka and Gopal (I don€™t know his last name. I apologise). Pradip was very knowledgeable and we learned much from him. He was very attentive and conscientious in caring for his clients, giving forethought to what we may need and providing us with the information or acquiring items for us. Gopal also has the same approach in caring for the clients. Pradip and Gopal taught us some fun card games and it felt like family when we socialised with them. We laughed so much! We felt completely safe and felt that all our needs were well considered and met. I can only bestow my highest commendation and even then, I don€™t feel it is enough to thank them for their excellent provision of service and care.
I sincerely hope I can come back and travel with HGT again. Thank you again for the exceptional service and care.
Namaste - My Annapurna Sanctuary Trek was outstanding. After more than 40 years of rock climbing, mountaineering and trekking on five continents, this trek will always be at the top of my memories in the mountains. The route brought us through a fabulous variety of climate and geological zones, exposed us to the colorful culture of Nepalese people and their customary foods, and gave us the stunning experience of traveling through the charming forested areas in the Poon Hill region and then on to the Himalaya€™s spectacular alpine setting at Annapurna Base Camp.This success was credited to the trek leadership of Suresh Pandey, who watched over my enjoyment and safety with great care the entire trek, and to the HGT administration for providing a comprehensive trek plan and who also answered all of my questions in a prompt fashion.Thank you HGT for making my Himalayan adventure so special.
