 Follow remote trails and gain dramatic views of Fish Tail, The Lamjung and the Annapurna Range . This spectacular trek to Machapuchare base camp is follows one of the least-trekked routes in the Annapurnas region. A remote trek at moderate altitudes through pristine forests and delightful villages takes you further and higher into the mountains than on our other Annapurna Treks. From Pokhara we ascend through luxuriant forest of oak, magnolia and rhododendron gaining tantalizing views of the mountains. The forest abounds with bird life, while the bubbling streams grassy campsites complete the tranquil setting. From our alpine camps, we gain uninterrupted views of Fish Tail. Its sacred, fluted peak looms high above us while the Annapurna Range provides a distinctive and spectacular panorama. Trekking higher we enter a rugged world of huge cliffs and tumbling glaciers fed by the snowy flanks of Fish Tail Peak .
On our returned, we descend through seldom-visited Gurung villages, following trails that are ever more delightful to Pokhara and flight back to Kathmandu .
