the visitor. It is located directly north of Pokhara in

rhododendrons, ferns and orchids, there are attractions to be
enjoyed in the sky and on the ground. Landrung is a Gurung
village of flagstoned streets. High

settlement. The Gurungs, of Gurkha soldier fame, make their
home in the Annapurna foothills.
Chomrong is another Gurung village on the way and the highest
permanent settlement in the valley. Great views of the
Himalayan can be had from here, with Annapurna South seeming
to shoot up from behind the village. Further up through the
bamboo forest Hinko Cave – actually a huge over hanging rock.
Wildlife such as the Himalayan tahr, weasels and pika can be
found here. In the upper approaches to the sanctuary, the
leafless birch trees of winter can be easily recognized.
