This exhilarating trek has been researched to ensure
the most spectacular views of the Annapurna Range
and Lamjung Himal.
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 SIKLISH. 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 Machapuchere upstream the Seti Khola till
Ghalegaon, an important Gurung village. Then the trail
climbs up 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.
