    About Ghandruk Trek

    This is an ideal program for those who wish to do a short and easy trek in Nepal. This trek trail lies in the foothill of the Annapurna region. The starting point of the trek is from the small village of Dhampus(1,700m), a drive of around 45 min drive Northwest of Pokhara.  This trek can be done all through the years but the best period is from October till May. Trekking in this region means getting some great views of Mt. Annapurna South(7,219 m), Mt. Machhapuchare (6,993m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441 m), crossing some beautiful villages & walk through rhododendron & oak forest.   Average walking hour per day is between 4 to 6 hours and the highest point that you reach in this trek is only 2,150 m. Even those travelling with children or the elderly trekkers can enjoy this trip. Dhampus Ghandruk trek explores the pragmatic existence of village life and stunning image of Himalayan Peaks.
