Trip Overview

In the end, you find the space of three days a magnificent sojourn. It makes you appreciate the fine balance between great views and panoramas of nature on the one hand; the villages and local life on the other. And that is what the greater treks in the Annapurna region serve you; a broad, varying canvass of exquisite nature accompanying an equally diverse, myriad culture along the trail. When you are in want of time and energy required for them, a Hike around Pokhara is the best alternative, a perfect miniature of longer Annapurna treks. This Sarangkot Dhampus hike is short, easy, and suitable for all age groups.
