Royal Trekking Short Description:
This short trek follows a shrub like path along the foothills of Annapurna, north of the Pokhara valley. The Royal Trek is so-named because Prince Charles and his 90 person entourage had explored this route in the early eighties, starting from Kalikastan ridge about 25km from scenic Pokhara, the trek passes through beautiful gurung hamlets where little kids tuck at your sleeves for a snapshot or a toffee and as you hike the terraced farmlands your eyes behold the magnificent Annapurna range, Machapuchhre (Fishtail Peak) and the Langtang mountains that give you a view of natures beauty at its best. The trip finally ends at the scenic Begans Lake which is about 30km west of Pokhara city. This trip is basically recommended for beginners or those who have very limited time but yet looking for an opportunity to squeeze in an experience of a trekking holiday in the Himalaya. The entire trek is rather easy with occasional up and downhill hikes along the ridges and valleys without having to worry about altitude and acclimatization as the maximum ascent on this trek is Chisapani at 1,260m. However, there is also an option to extend a cultural tour of Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan by combining this trek to get thrills of Nepal’s diverse ecological beauty.
