With easy access from Pokhara, the gateway to the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, this trek is perfect for those looking to experience the Himalayas without extreme altitude or difficulty. Along the journey, you’ll pass through culturally rich Gurung villages, known for their warm hospitality and unique traditions.
