Royal Trekking Combination

The Royal Trek is one of the shortest treks to discover the beauty of Nepal. The trek follows a path along the foothills of Annapurna, north of the Pokhara valley into the Brahmin and Chettri Villages. The route got its name when the Prince Charles and his 90 person entourage explored the route in the early eighties. Prince Charles got fascinated by the spectacular views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu while trekking in the deep forests of Panchase. The trail traverses beautiful forests of rhododendron and Magnolia, wonderful villages inhabited by hospitable people and ultimately exposes us to the panorama of the beautiful mountains and its foothills.

The trek can be done throughout the year except during the monsoon season when the way is slippery and view is covered with thick clouds.  This trek provides the opportunities for meaningful cultural experiences with the diverse mix of people, cultures and terrain of the region. We have combined the trek with thrilling white water rafting adventure, an exciting jungle safari in the Chitwan National Park and  Wonderful Mountain flight to view the Everest.
