This trek into the Annapurna region is one of the best trekking destinations of Nepal. It is a low altitude trek in the foothills of Mt. Annapurna which showcases the cultural and physical diversity of the most beautiful corner of Nepal. This lodge-based trek takes you through terraced hillsides, picturesque villages and rhododendron and oaks forests with the backdrop of the magnificent Himalaya. The trek finally leads you to the Ghorepani which is a small but very beautiful town located on a hillside. The next day early morning we climb poonhill (3200 m) which is the best vantage of the area to enjoy the spectacular view of the mountains like, Mt. Annapurna, Dhaulagiri (above 8000 m), Nilgiri, Machhapuchre, Lamjung and many other snow capped peaks as well as the sun rise view over the glorious Himalayas. While on this trek you will also have a time to visit the local schools, markets and villages where cultural horizons are so different from our own. A spectacular panorama of the Annapurna Range is enjoyed throughout this wonderful trek.
You return to Pokhara to relax by beautiful Phewa Lake before you drive to the Chitwan National Park and ride on elephants back to search rhino and the Bengal tiger.
