- 10 Days - 9 nights
Spanning across the south-eastern edge of Pokhara and the north-eastern edge of Walling Bazaar is a trail known for its accommodation of unique cultures and lifestyle of countless ethnic groups. Established alongside the entry into the New Millennia the trek lies under the watchful gaze of the majestic Annapurna Himalayan range and the beloved Annapurna Circuit. The trail sees little to no traffic and the diverse beauty of the region remains unspoiled and untouched for the most part. The trek boasts of a wide array of diverse landscapes and impressive views of the snowcapped Himalayas from Kanjirowa (6,883m) in the far-west to Ganesh Himal in central Nepal (7,422m) and everything in between.
