As we ascend to the village of Chhomrong, we will be able to appreciate crystal clear views of the infamous and unconquered Machhapuchhare (Holy fish-tail Mountain, 6900m). Trekking through some breathtakingly colorful rhododendron forests, we follow the trail to the Himalayan Hotel (2840m), where we can admire dramatic views of the Himalayan scenery. At Machhapuchhare Base Camp (3700m) we will take some time to acclimatize to the altitude, admire the awesome mountain-scape of Annapurna III (7600m) and IV (7400m) and marvel at the colossal icy form of the Machhapuchhare Glacier. Continuing to the Annapurna Base Camp (4130m) we can see the sunrise over the immense stature of Annapurna I (8019m). As the dawn breaks, we will be able to appreciate the fact that we are completely surrounded by the soaring Himalayan peaks. There is also a lot of fun to be had playing in the snow of the vast Annapurna Glacier. The final highlight of the trek will be to climb Poon Hill (3210m) from where we will enjoy our last scenic views of Himalayas and surrounding rice terraces (a photographers paradise!).
