Annapurna I (10th Highest Mountain in the World) , Mt. Annapurna South, Mt. Dhaulagiri (7th Highest Mountain in the World). Those who have restricted time and would like to experience the Annapurna Sanctuary Himalaya feel at a very short period of time, either Kathmandu or Pokhara.
The tour takes you over sanctuary of Annapurna Conservation includes wonderful traditional village settlements at numerous terrain hills, multiple streams, and rivers, and not to miss the Mardi Himal Base Camp. Upon arrival at Annapurna Base Camp, we spend 15-20 minutes enjoying the tea/coffee with the most magnificent view of mountains in the world. You cannot spend more than 30 minutes at the base camp as your body is not acclimatized to the altitude, so any prolonged stay at the place would risk you to get Acute Mountain sickness.
We end our amazing Day tour to Annapurna Base Camp by flight back to Kathmandu or Pokhara.
