| Easy
walking, mountain views and village life.
This easy and enjoyable trek in the Pokhara region
offers good montain views, including Machhapuchhare and Annapurna
without long trekking days or long steep ascents. Ideal for
those who have never tried trekking before. Despite acquiring
its name after Prince Charles (with an entourage of 90!) trekked
here in the 1980s this is not a particularly heavily trekked
area.
Walking through numerous villages, rice fields and across terraced
hills this trek provides opportunities to chat with villagers
on the trails. An excellent glimpse of rural Nepalese life as
well as its flora and fauna.
Where are you going?
Day 1: Drive from Kathmandu to Begnas Tal (lake)
and begin your trek with a short, hour-long walk to camp at
Sundar Danda. Situated between two lakes and with views of Annapurna
and the Dhulagiri range, it is a beautiful spot.
Days 2-5: From Chisopani, highest point on
the trek, the views are magnificent, especially from the small
temple on a knoll above the village. The Himalayan skyline is
constantly changing as the trail follows forested ridges, passing
through Brahmin, Chhetri and Gurung villages before descending
to Phedi for the short drive to Pokhara.
Day 6: Return to Kathmandu by road or you may
choose to fly (USD67 one way – 35mins). Depart OR join
