About Trip:

The Panchasse Trek is one of the most picturesque and enjoyable short trekking routes near Pokhara. It offers astonishing panoramas of the Himalaya including views of the Annapurnas, Macchapuchare, Dhaulagiri, the Lamjung Range, Manaslu and more.The journey takes place in the area south of Phewa Lake and passes through lush valleys with traditional villages, fertile fields, and through rhododendron forests and up to ridge tops with astonishing mountain views.

Although the route is easily accessed, the Panchasse Trek is off the beaten path and the area seldom sees tourists and will be an opportunity for visitors to interact with the local community. The Panchasse Trek is a great introduction to trekking and a taste of the Himalayan foothills. The region is rich with wildlife and especially supports an abundant range of bird species.

The Panchasse Trek is a camping trek,and we will have porters to carry supplies, a dining tent, sleeping tent and more for your comfort. The Himalaya Hikes chef will prepare delicious meals and the camp will be a cozy place to reminisce about of the day’s highlights over food and drink, under the heavenly stars.
There are many choices for more trekking in the Annapurna area, and if you would like to extend your travels, just let us know and we will arrange according to your schedule!

We have fixed departures and custom treks that can be arranged any day to suit your needs and schedule. Himalaya Hikes looks forward to guiding you into the spectacular Panchase Region and some of the most breathtaking beauty of Nepal!
