The climb up to the viewpoint lasts roughly 2 hours and presents its fair share of challenges. The trail is comprised of rocky terrain that can be slippery, requiring careful navigation along narrow paths lining rugged ridges on the mountain. As you surpass an elevation of 4500 metres, you will undoubtedly notice a significant change in altitude. Nonetheless, upon reaching the base camp, a heavenly atmosphere awaits as your reward.

The base camp treats you to a captivating panorama showcasing Annapurna’s majestic peaks. Many regard this location as providing one of their most unforgettable views during sunrise. After spending some time at the base camp, we make our descent towards Badal Danda for our lodging arrangements.

Route we took during our ascent. From Badal Danda, our path diverges towards Sidhing, guiding us through thick forests nestled at the base of Mt.Machhapuchhre. The descent becomes steeper and more arduous, with a trail that proves to be quite slippery in nature.

Our lodging for the night awaits us at Lakeside in Pokhara.
