Annapurna area is one of the most popular trekking destinations in the world. The Annapurna region receives more than 50 thousand trekkers in a year. Annapurna is not a national park, but the area has been declared a conservation area. In 1986, King Mahendra’s Trust for nature conservation helped to establish the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). This covers 2600 square K.M. The programs of the project are mainly divided into four main areas: Community development, Forest conservation, Conservation Education, Research, and Training.
The largest town in the area is Pokhara and this is the starting point for many treks. The skyline is dominated by the Annapurna Mountain Range and the perfectly shaped Peak of Fishtail. The Himalayas seems much closer than in Kathmandu. Pokhara Valley contains three Lakes. Phewa Tal is the most beautiful and most accessible, only 15 minutes walk from the airport. Pokhara can be reached by Air or by road. Most of the popular treks in this area begin from Pokhara, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, Ghorepani Trek, Khayar Lake Trek, and also Annapurna Circuit Trek.
