Ghandruk Trek

On the second day of our journey, we get a close look at, observe, and experience Kathmandu. Among Kathmandu’s many attractions, the climate it provides is unrivaled. Winters are mild, and summers are hot. Sightseeing trips to three durbar squares, religious, cultural, architectural, and other masterworks are available. You can also arrange a Nagarkot hill station excursion. Nagarkot is the ideal place to see and photograph the dawn, as well as a panoramic view of the Annapurna range and other world-famous peaks. Nagarkot/Kathmandu is where you’ll spend the night.

After a lovely breakfast in Kathmandu or Nagarkot, you will be driven off at the Domestic Airport to catch your flight to Pokhara. Nagarkot is around 1.5 hours from Kathmandu by car. You will be picked up in SUVs and driven to Phedi after arriving at Pokhara Airport. Phedi is the trail’s starting point. Until we reach Dhampus, the trail ascends, providing a tranquil vista of rhododendron, oak, sandalwood, magnolia, and pine forests. Dhampus is a well-to-do Gurung community settlement. Dhampus is also a great place to visit if you want to see the snow-capped Annapurna and Lamjung ranges.

Our walk ascends a stone-paved path through mossy woods and other woodlands after a refreshment stop at Dhampus. From Dhampus, we’ll travel to Pothana. Pothana is the hamlet to visit if you want to find tea houses, restaurants, and stores. Spend the night in Pothana, which has a beautiful mountain outlook.

Day four is the most critical day of our walk because it is on this day that we will arrive at Ghandruk. Starting early in the morning, the climb from Pothana ascends for the first hour till reaching Deurali. The trek will lead you through beautiful forests from Deurali, with breathtaking views of Annapurna, Manaslu, and Mardi Himal. After leaving Deurali, the trail descends to Tolkha. Tolkha is enriching gurungs’ village. After that, we’ll continue down to reach Landruk from Tolkha. Then, from Landruk, it’s a steady descent until you get to the Modi Khola River. After passing Modi Khola, the trekking trail leads to Ghandruk, which requires a challenging ascent.

Ghandruk offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and the warm welcome of the Gurungs. We’ll spend the night in Ghandruk because it has more to offer in terms of lodging and catering. In Ghandruk, you can wander around, visit the Gurung museum, or take photographs of big mountains or the tiniest aspects of arts and architecture.
