Description
Ghandruk Circuit trek
The Ghandruk Trek is a short and easy trekking option in Nepal's popular Annapurna region, ideal for families with children and the elderly. This trek not only provides stunning views of the Annapurna Himalayas but also offers a rich insight into local Gurung culture and traditions.
Along the trail, trekkers can enjoy diverse flora and fauna. Often referred to as Ghandruk homestay or cultural trekking, this route is highly appreciated by those looking for a unique experience. Additionally, the trek can be fully customized to meet the specific needs of tourists.
Similar to other treks in the Annapurna region, the Ghandruk Circuit Trek starts from the picturesque city of Pokhara. Travelers are often captivated by Pokhara's numerous attractions and its charming atmosphere. From there, we make our way to the beautiful and traditional Ghandruk village, the final destination of our trek. The journey to Ghandruk is filled with excitement and the allure of nature's wonders, making for an enchanting hiking experience.
Our journey becomes delightful with the melodies of birds and the gentle sound of the Modi River, accompanied by the pleasant scents of the surrounding bushes. The thrill of crossing suspension bridges and spotting endangered wildlife such as langurs, Assamese monkeys, yellow-throated martens, barking deer, wild boars, porcupines, leopards, jackals, and wild cats elevates the hiking experience. In contrast, the vibrant rhododendron forests, along with oaks, junipers, chestnuts, Chir pines, and various herbs and plants, are also significant attractions along the trail.
