offers spiritual elation is probably the exact way to
define the configuration of this exotic land of
mountains - Annapurna sanctuary. Himalayan giants that
was explored by Jimmy Roberts in 1956 and brought to the
attention of world by the British Expedition to
Machhapuchhere in 1957 surround this vast
nature-amphitheatre. Astonishing altitude variations and
ecological diversity make this area flow over with
natural beauty. You will cross-sacred valleys surrounded
by enormous peaks. The Annapurna Sanctuary is a hidden
glacial hollow that shimmers like a jewel in the
mountains. For thousands of years, many people from
diverse ethnic backgrounds have carved a lifestyle out
of its steep terraces and barren plateaus. The excellent
habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals reflect
the region’s biological diversity. Multiple species of
orchids, rhododendrons, birds, reptile and other flora
and fauna are to be astonished. Regard this region as an
opportunity to a land of enchantment. |
