al trek offers you splendid mountain views- Annapurna south, Himchuli, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu, Fish tail & Annapurna II III IV. An easy hiking trip just around the Pokhara valley. Recommended as the winter trip and the trip for family or with children. Since the trip is not going that height. Made famous when Prince Charles of Britain before marriage trekked the same route in 1981, the route has been aptly named the ‘Royal Trek’. Traveling through the villages set among the cultivated fields and meeting the people is quite unforgettable experience.
