Overview

Annapurna region of Nepal is probably the best place for the diversified traveling. From the long Annapurna Circuit Trek to the moderate yet adventurous Annapurna Base Camp Trek and shorter treks like Sarangkot Hiking including Australian Camp there are plenty of trails for the trekking. Bharal Adventure introduces the Annapurna Royal Trek which comprises about three days of walking for the trekkers. In addition, to witness the amazing villages of British Gurkha soldiers’ family.

This Trek route got its name as royal because of the glorious visit of Prince Charles of the Great Britain. Prince Charles with the intention to meet the families of the Gurkha Soldiers once trekked this trail and after that, it is named as such. The journey begins with the amazing sightseeing of the Pokhara Valley. From the mystical caves to the mysterious waterfalls and marvelous Paragliding the activities that you can do in Pokhara is at abundance. Boating, shopping, and views of the Himalayas are common in the city. The place is more inclined towards nature even if you can find the modern facilities and structures. The bus drive will take you to the Kalikasthan from where the three days trekking starts. The most visual highlight of the trek is the scene of the Machhapuchhre, Annapurna, and Lamjung Himal.

The eyes resemblance of the Rupa Lake and Begnas Lake is equally attractive. The green lush forests and the ridges make your trekking into the wild feeling. The conversations with the locals too will be fruitful as most of the locals have their family members in the prestigious British Gurkha Army. The trekking ends with the boating in Begnas from where you will again return back to Pokhara. Book the Annapurna Royal Trek package with us and travel the trail once walked by the great Prince Charles. Bharal Adventure takes great privileges to introduce this package. This includes majestic sightseeing of the Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara Valley unlike other trekking agencies of Nepal.
