The trail then takes you through narrow alleys of Bamboo forest, past the Hinku Cave along the corner of the towering Machhapuchhere and Hiun Chuli, and as the ground below you turn to snow, the Machhapuchhere Base camp (MBC) welcomes you. The way further through the frozen landscape of snow and rock leads you to the very bosom of the Annapurna Sanctuary amidst the most unbelievably beautiful, colossal sculptures of nature. The experience of encountering such beauty can be very spiritual and humbling.

On the way back you stop at a natural hot spring. A good long soak in the spring water of Jhinu Hills washes away the fatigue before ending the journey at Phedi/ Nayapool. Through the different hills, cultures, cuisines, people and unique experiences every time, this route is guaranteed to remain etched in your mind forever.
