Annapurna South Peak Climbing On this expedition we take you well off the beaten trail, on to long, remote mountain ridges, through exposit forest and to visit traditional villages. Views of the Annapurna and the gigantic mass of Mt. Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre are utterly breathtaking and complement many of our phenomenal campsites during this classic 23 treks and expedition to Annapurna South.

One and half hour drive to Nayapul from Pokhara our walk begins in the lower, more temperate region of forested hillsides such as Magar and Gurung villages. As we move higher through the rhododendron woodlands the views of Annapurna and Machhapuchhre are astounding. On reaching Kopra Ridge our campsite is right below Mt. Annapurna 1^st. Trails goes up to the sacred lake above Kair, a marvelous alpine experience. We set up the Base Camp for climbing to Mt. Annapurna South. After finishing expedition trek back to Pokhara takes us via Ghorepani and Poon Hill for one of the most famous panoramas point in the Annapurna.
