This is one of the most popular treks in the Annapurna Region. It offers spectacular mountain scenery and the trail passes through beautiful villages inhabited by mid-hill tribes called Gurungs, many of them are Gurkha soldiers working for British and Indian armies and some are engaged in farming. Trekkers will have an opportunity to experience the local culture and learn the tradition of the Gurung communities. Ghandruk is a beautiful village with a number of slate-roofed houses, paved courtyard, a museum, Buddhist monastery and the trip will remain ideal for those wishing to experience Nepal’s mountain scenery and ethnic culture within a short time. Accommodations and food in the region are highest standard with electricity, hot showers as per the clients taste and budget. Dhampus is another beautiful village heavily settled by Gurung communities similar to Ghandruk.  After leaving Ghandruk we head down to Dhampus through the paved trail while enjoying views of the soaring mountains.
