Tour Overview
Ghorepani Ghandruk trek lies in Gandaki Province between the lake city Pokhara and the northern Himalayas. This trek is named after two Gurung ethnic villages dwelt by the Brave Gurkhas in the popular Annapurna region. Most of the male members of these villages are involved in the British and Indian Army, so-called the Gurkhas. Walking along the easy trekking trail through the lush oak and rhododendron forests, you can have a mesmerizing view of the Himalayas. The snow-capped peaks of Annapurna (8,091 m) Massif and Dhaulagiri (8,0167 m) Massif are the incredible gifts of this trek. Mt. Machhapuchhre (6,993 m), Mt. Nilgiri, and Singa Chuli add up to something to the unforgettable trekking in Nepal in the Pokhara Valley.
