Nepal
:- A trek to Panchase
& on into the Annapurnas
A trek to Panchase
and on into the Annapurnas
The trek commences
from the lakeside town of Pokhara traveling
south west before looping into the main Annapurna
trekking region. The area around Panchase
is well known for its array of bird and wildlife.
The first five days trekking are away from
the more frequented trails providing an opportunity
to experience the wealth of culture to be
found in this area. We eventually arrive
at Ghandruk the largest Gurung village in
the region and the Centre of the Annapurna
Area Conservation Project. We rest up for
a day to explore this ornate Gurung village
which provides some serious views of the
mountains Macchapucchare (Fishtail) Annapurna
South and Himchuli before a two day trek
back to Pokhara.
