A week of sheer fun in Panchase!

This week-long, fun-filled Panchase Trek holiday brings you on a hiking exploration to nearby mountain villages in Pokhara valley. This tour is designed for people who would like to embark on fun-filled trekking holidays that focus on enjoyment and relaxation rather than strenuous walking. It was created for busy executives who would want a quick getaway into the hills to view impressive Himalayan peaks while sipping on some fine beverages from the hotel window.

Itinerary

Day 01: Arrive in Kathmandu around midday and take a domestic flight to the city of lakes, Pokhara. Once we land in Pokhara, we drive straight to Bhumdi, situated at 1520 meters above sea level. Bhumdi offers spectacular views of the mountains.

Day 02: After a leisurely breakfast, we set off on a trek to Panchase Hill, situated at 2100 meters. This is an easy uphill walk through forested trails and along with beautiful villages. A six-hour hike through undulating hills brings us to Panchase to a fantastic view.

Day 03: A relatively easy day of walking today to Bhadaure. We stop at this beautiful village, which offers stunning views of the mountains. As Bhadaure is located moderately lower, at only 1530 meters above sea level, it is an easy walk to get to it.

Day 04: Australian camp is the next destination, which is about a 5-hour hike from here. The camp is one of the best locations to view the sunset. It is situated at a height of 1900 meters above sea level.

Day 05: The last day of the trek ends at Phedi, which involves a two-and-half-hour walk down the ridge. A further 30 minutes of driving brings us back to Pokhara town. The rest of the day is free and easy.

Day 06: Chill out in Pokhara or paraglide with Nat Geo’s Adventures of the Year 2012 company.
