This trek is one of a famous and easiest trek in Annapurna Area. The trek has been named the "Royal Trek" as Britain's Prince Charles walked it in the 1980s. It's an excellent trek to do as it doesn't entail any particular long walking days but plenty to see. Trek commences after a short drive of about 20 min. and the route gradually climbs up through the villages and forest of fir, magnolia and Rhododendron. This trek offers a panoramic view of Pokhara valley and the beautiful Fishtail Summit (Machhapuchre) as well as Annapurna Range to the north and magnificent lakes surrounded by mountains in the Southeast, Lamjung Himal and Manaslu and Himchuli in the east.
