Tour Overview

This 10 days tour Including Kathmandu and Pokhara sightseeing (Panchase Danda Trek) is one of Nepal’s easier treks, making it ideal for families, the elderly, or hikers who just want to enjoy nature at an easier destination. Every day of hiking is short, at around four to five hours, meaning there is plenty of time to stop and appreciate the views, take photographs, and relax in the local villages at the end of the day to witness or even participate in local Gurung, Magar and Brahmin village life. Major highlights of Panchase Danda Trek is including the beautiful forest through which we trek and the expansive mountain views. The forests in the Panchase Danda area are very biodiverse, and much of this is classified as a protected forest. Especially a large number of orchid species, at over 100, so keep an eye out for the beautiful flowers. Three over 8000 meters mountains we can see from several points along with the route Mt. Dhaulagiri, Mt. Annapurna I, and Mt. Manaslu as well as from Panchase Peak, as can a number of less high Himalayas, such as Mt. Machhapuchhare, Lamjung, and Gangapurna. Panchase Danda trek is an easy trek for people of all ages, however, a moderate fitness level is preferred. A short and easy hike to Panchase will surely invigorate you in the Himalayas of Nepal

If you go early in the morning, prepare for huge masses of tourists. You can take good pictures anyway, though. It will probably be cold.

Panchase Trek !

17-Sep-2019

Panchase Trek was one of the best and unique short trekking routes around Pokhara, Nepal. From Panchase, we saw the giant Himalayan peaks of Machhapuchhare, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Lamjung, Gangapurna, and Manaslu. The forests in the Panchase area were very diverse, and much of it is classified as a protected forest consisting of a large number of orchid species at over 100 and rhododendron forest. During our journey, we stayed in Magar, and Gurung people houses as well as other groups including their lifestyles. Overall I had the best trek.
