This oval-shaped plateau sits at an altitude of over 4000 metres,〔Ortner, Jon. ''Where Every Breath is a Prayer: A Photographic Pilgrimage into the Heart of Asia''. New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang. p. 29〕 and is surrounded by a ring of mountains, the Annapurna range, most of which are over 7000 metres.〔()〕 With the only entrance a narrow pass between the peaks of Hiunchuli and Machapuchare, where run-off from glaciers drain into Modi Khola River, the Sanctuary was not penetrated by outsiders until 1956.〔 Because of high mountains on all sides, the Annapurna Sanctuary receives only 7 hours of sunlight a day at the height of summer.〔 The unique combination of heights and depths on the 5-7 day trek into the Annapurna Sanctuary give rise to an extraordinary variety of ecosystems. The south-facing slopes are “covered in dense tropical jungles of rhododendron and bamboo”, while the north-facing slopes, in the rain shadow, have “a drier colder climate similar to that of the near-by Tibetan Plateau.”〔 The entire sanctuary was held as sacred to the Gurung people, one of the many native people to inhabit the area.〔Ortner, Jon. ''Where Every Breath is a Prayer: A Photographic Pilgrimage into the Heart of Asia''. New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang. pp. 29-30〕 They believed it was the repository of gold and various treasures left by the Nāgas, the serpent-gods known in India.〔Bernbaum, Edwin. ''Sacred Mountains of the World''. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. p. 20.〕 The sanctuary was believed to be the home of several deities, from Hinduism and Buddhism as well as older animistic gods.〔 The peak of Machapuchare at the entrance was believed to be the home of the god Shiva, and the daily plumes of snow were thought the smoke of his divine incense.〔Ortner, Jon. ''Where Every Breath is a Prayer: A Photographic Pilgrimage into the Heart of Asia''. New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang. p. 30〕 Until recently, the local Gurang people forbade anyone from bringing eggs or meat into the Annapurna Sanctuary, and women and untouchables were prohibited from going there as well.〔Bernbaum, Edwin. ''Sacred Mountains of the World''. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. p. 20〕 In recent years, the number of trekkers to the Sanctuary has increased substantially, in part because the Sanctuary forms the base of one of the major routes to the peaks of the Annapurna range. The Annapurna Sanctuary is now part of the (Annapurna Conservation Area Project ), which places restrictions on number of outside travelers, gathering of firewood, and domestic animal grazing.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annapurna Sanctuary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
