Panchase Trek

Upon your arrival in Kathmandu, our local representative will meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel in Thamel, the city's colorful tourist district. After some rest, you’ll join a pre-trek briefing to go over the route, gear, and what to expect. Enjoy the evening at your leisure, perhaps trying local momos or a rooftop café view.

After a scenic morning flight to Pokhara—with mountain views right from your airplane window—we’ll begin our trek. A short drive takes us to the starting point, where we begin hiking uphill through lush forest and terraced fields. The trail is serene and shaded, eventually reaching Bumdi, a peaceful village with a close-knit Gurung community. Overnight at a cozy teahouse.

Today’s trek takes us higher along a forested ridge that gradually opens up to spectacular views of snow-capped peaks. You’ll pass through rhododendron forests, small chortens, and quiet resting spots along the way. By afternoon, we reach Panchase Bhanjyang—a quiet village perched beneath Panchase Hill. Weather permitting, you’ll be treated to a magical sunset over the Himalayas.

We start early to ascend Panchase Hill for sunrise—one of the most beautiful vantage points in the Annapurna region. The panoramic view of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and even Manaslu in the distance is unforgettable. After soaking it all in, we descend through the charming village of Bhadaure, eventually reaching Naudanda. From here, we drive back to Pokhara, where you can enjoy a relaxed evening by Phewa Lake.

After breakfast, we leave Pokhara behind and begin our journey back to Kathmandu by private vehicle. The scenic highway follows rivers, cliffs, and farmlands, offering one last taste of Nepal’s countryside. Upon arrival, you’ll have the evening free for last-minute shopping or relaxation.

Depending on your flight time, we’ll arrange your airport transfer. If you have a few extra hours, consider a final visit to a local café or stupa before we part ways. Safe travels and namaste!
