Trip Overview

The Royal Trekking is one of the best shortest treks in the Annapurna region. It owes its popularity, because Prince Charles had explored this route in the early eighties with a convoy of 90 people. This is a short trek best suited for those who have time limitations. Royal trek is known for its breathtaking views of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Machapuchare, Lamjung Himal, Dhaulagiri and others.

This trek takes you closer to the age old cultural and traditional way of life of the ethnic communities of this region. Besides that this trekking circuit is less crowded and secluded from the mainstream busy life. This scenic short trek begins from Kalikastan ridge, about 25 km from scenic Pokhara. It follows a great loop as it passes through beautiful Gurung hamlets and terraced farmlands. This is a trek adorned with splendid views of Annapurna range, Machapuchhre [fishtail peak] and the Langtang Mountains. Nowhere else in the world will you find the nature so enchanting and at its best.

Mission Nepal Holidays takes you on this fascinating journey quenching your thirst for a secluded trekking trail. Be there to make history by walking on the royal footprints and making memories that remains forever.
