Annapurna foothill region is the focus of the article “Honey Hunters of Nepal”, written by Eric Valli and DianeSummers and another article “Annapurna Sanctuary for the Himalaya” written and photographed by GalenRowell. Both articles were published in National Geography magazine. It has been subject of writers ,photographers and climbers since Mourice Herzog first ascent to 8000 m peak Annapurna 1 back in 1950s.The glacial basin of Annapurna Sanctuary is formed by the circle of Annapurna Himalaya range, Gangapurnaand Machapuchre. As you travel from Chumro towards the Sanctuary the trail pass through narrow valley whichis prone to avalanche in winter and early spring. You follow Modi Khole (river) through thick bamboo andrhododendron forests into the center of lateral moraine and base camp of Annapurna to view the spectacular Annapurna range all around. Stop at Ghorepani to see beautiful sunrise view over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna.The Gurung villages and frequent stops at tea-shop dotted along the way gives an unique cultural experience.Like the Sherpa in Everest, Gurung are in Annapurna and Limbus in Kanchanjunga.
