Alternate Annapurna Trek To Panchase. Wellness And Culinary Adventure 8 days
- Family friendly
- Eco Responsible
This week-long, fun-filled Panchase Trek holiday brings you on a hiking exploration to nearby mountain villages in Pokhara valley. This tour is designed for people who would like to embark on fun-filled trekking holidays that focus on enjoyment and relaxation rather than strenuous walking. It was created for busy executives who would want a quick getaway into the hills to view impressive Himalayan peaks while sipping on some healthy beverages and savoring meals with superfood as ingredients. Participate in this short but sweet transformational adventure on the alternate Annapurna trail.
You will be hiking on a less trodden path on the Annapurna trail.
Trekking is a wellness activity as it involves detoxing through perspiration, calming the mind, and eating healthy.
Our trekking chefs use superfood as ingredients to give our trekkers much-needed nourishment after a rigorous day of hiking. Our wellness meals help to strengthen the immune system.
Day 1 Kathmandu - Pokhara - Bhumdi
Arrive in Kathmandu around midday and take a domestic flight to the city of lakes, Pokhara. Once we land in Pokhara, we drive straight to Bhumdi, situated at 1520 meters above sea level. Bhumdi offers spectacular views of the mountains.
Day 2 Bhumdi - Panchase Hill
After a leisurely breakfast, we set off on a trek to Panchase Hill, situated at 2100 meters. This is an easy uphill walk through forested trails and along with beautiful villages. A six-hour hike through undulating hills brings us to Panchase to a fantastic view.
Day 3 Bhadaure
A relatively easy day of walking today to Bhadaure. We stop at this beautiful village, which offers stunning views of the mountains. As Bhadaure is located moderately lower, at only 1530 meters above sea level, it is an easy walk to get to it.
Day 4 Australian Camp
Australian camp is the next destination, which is about a 5-hour hike from here. The camp is one of the best locations to view the sunset. It is situated at a height of 1900 meters above sea level.
