This culturally & naturally famous
trek offers spectacular views of the Annapurna Massif,
and Lamjung Himal, Gorkha Himal and other numerous
snow capped peak. This low altitude trek cuts through
an area rarely visited and traverses a variety of
terrain from low land villages and terraced fields
up to Nepal largest Gurung village of Siklis. Starting
from the old capital of Gorkha, our route climbs atop
a hill overlooking the snowy peaks of the Himalaya
and where the old royal palace known as Gorkha Durbar
towers the bazaar. Descending through terraced fields
we head west to cross the Annapurna circuit route
before traversing an area south of Lamjung Himal at
low altitude with plenty of rural life such as typical
Nepalese villages not used to seeing foreigners. Reaching
Madi Pool north of Pokhara, our route heads towards
the fishtail peak of Machapuchare upstream the Seti
Khola till Ghalegaon, an important Gurung village.
Then the trail climbs goes to Siklis through a rhododendron
forest. The largest Gurung village is situated at
the foot of Lamjung Himal (6931m). From there we descend
steeply to the Modi Khola riverside. Our last camp
at Thulo Kot offers a panorama of twenty peaks before
descending to the Begnas lake. After a short drive
to Pokhara we have a last camp near the famous Phewa
lake and the next day we fly back to Kathmandu.
