Treks: The Machhapuchhre South Face Trek

The Machhapuchhre South Face Trek

Grade Length
Leisurely 14 days

Description
This is a highland, relatively easy and short trek to the Annapurna Region for those who want to see the Himalayas from close but do not want to trek on the more crowded main trail. We can trek to the southwest Machhapuchhre Base Camp, even in the winter. This trail is less traveled for 4 days where you will definitely not meet any other foreigner. The trail passes through villages of different ethnic groups then into sub-temperate forests. After the first day of our trek we will not encounter tourist. We get close up spectacular views of Annapurna range get to the base camp of one of most picturesque mountain in the world - Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Peak).
