Tour Description
The royal trekking is a short and relatively easy trek compared to other treks in the Annapurna region, at the elevation of 2170 meters in the foothills of the Annapurna and Machapuchare mountains. This trek gets its name “Royal Trek” from the fact that it was originally explored by Prince Charles of the United Kingdom and his 90 person entourage in the early 1980s. You can enjoy incredible views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges, traditional remote villages, terraced fields, and lush forests. It is suitable for those who have limited time and want to experience the more off- the- beaten path.
The royal trek begins from beautiful city Pokhara, which is well known for Himalayan range, numerous small and large lakes, temples and natural caves. Moreover, you can take part in various adventure activities such as boating, rafting, bungee jumping and canoeing. Then, the trail goes through amazing gurung and magar village, and come to an end in chitwan national park’s wilderness. The royal chitwan national park is home to 56 types of mammals (one-horned rhinoceros, Bengal tiger sloth bear and so on), reptiles, measure fish, butterflies, and other animals.
Overall, the trek includes visiting traditional villages, interacting with local people, experiencing their culture and hospitality and enjoying the serene natural beauty of the region.
