Route notes

The itinerary PDF was written for the Annapurna Sanctuary route and has no description for the revised days. The notes below are derived from the tracks and the PDF's general plan, not quoted from it.

Route

Leaves the Modi Khola valley for good. A short day on the map but almost continuously uphill: the trail climbs east out of Landruk into rhododendron and oak forest and onto the Mardi ridge.

Forest Camp (Kokar, about 2,440 m) sits in the trees on the ridge crest — the 1:50,000 sheet marks the spot height 2437 right beside it.

This is the direct ridge climb. The longer alternative from Landruk goes south via Tolka and Pittam Deurali, which is the line Option B descends on days 9 and 10.
