Most popular trek in Pokhara for both teahouse and organized. It offers an exotic view of Annapurna region in short and easy trek. The trail passes through the Gurung and Tamang’s charming villages. Dense rhododendron forests, Oak forests full of birds, green hills, and diversified valleys.
It takes you along the ancient ‘salt-trade route’ and unspoiled countryside of different ethnic communities.
It is a 4-5 days hike in the foothills of Annapurna mountain in Nepal. The elevation is 3,210 meters from the sea level. On return, you can either walk down through Ghandruk village or choose to walk down to Dhampus. And enjoy the ethnic settlements and pristine nature.
Since the trek is much popular among the travel enthusiasts, the trail can be much crowded than you are expecting.

First of all I would like to grab this opportunity to thank everybody at
Discover Nepal / Dream Nepal Travel for making my stay worth while. We
were shown most of the important sights of the country and at the same
time given lectures by competent guides. I learned even more about the
sights than what I knew of from my last visit to Nepal. Once I again I
would like to thank you all for being so kind to me during my stay in
Nepal.
