Ghundruk village in the Annapurna foothills
Our trek begins a short drive away from Pokhara at Naya Phul. The walking is at a relaxed pace and we reach our lodge every day in time for lunch, leaving the afternoon free to relax or experience the local village life. After the trek we explore the lakeside around Pokhara and then travel to Royal Chitwan National Park to enjoy elephant back safaris, canoe trips and jungle walks. There is a variety of wildlife that inhabits the park including over 300 species of birds, deer, crocodile, rhino, leopard and just possibly tiger! We even have a chance to bathe with elephants. This journey showcases the stunning beauty and great diversity of Nepal.
