Overview

Western Nepal is one of the best trekking routes in Nepal. This route invites you to view the second largest Gurung village of Ghandruk and its unique variety of delicacies and drinks. The trek will give you the opportunity to see the dominating skyline of Annapurna range and different colors of rhododendron flowers in the forests.

Ghorepani meaning “Horse water” is a spot where the horses, mules and ponies carrying loads stop to refresh themselves which in itself is a delightful sight you would certainly want to capture.

​

It is recommended to take a break in Tadapani between the long trail from Ghorepani that leads to Ghandruk not only to make the trek easier but also for the excellent mountain views of Annapurna South, Hiuchuli and Machhapuchhare.
