Annapurna sanctuary trek is another well-known name of Annapurna Base Camp trekking which is surrounded by the ring of high mountains above 7000mtrs. The gorge, made by Modi Khola in between two famous mountains of Annapurna range of Nepal Himalaya called Machhapuchchhre (Fishtail) and Hiuchuli, is the only one way to enter in this paradise. The matchless combination of height and depth, nature and culture as well as flora and fauna prove its name ideal to call as sanctuary.
The south facing slope of the sanctuary is covered with dense of tropical jungle of rhododendron and bamboo, in other hand, dry rain shadow area with colder climate similar to the Tibetan plateau, in the north. The sanctuary gets only 7 hours sun even in summer days. The sanctuary is known as the sacred land of the Gurung people, who were the only people to inhabit this area in the past.
