Wonderful Experience

One of the best experiences in my life is trekking here. Will forever cherish this memory. The guides and porters from Index Adventure have made this possible, hence shout out to them great people.

Enjoy

Flowers of different kinds all over the way. The snow-white river in the middle of the ground is worth every step you walked to reach there. But the area near Deurali is prone to floods and landslides during monsoon so be careful when around that place.

Challenging trip

The Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is of moderate difficulty. You will be trekking for 4-7 hours a day for over a week, so you will need to be relatively fit. The best way to prepare is to get as many miles underfoot on trails in your home country. and the best role of the Banbanjara team who guide us properly and get comfort
