If you dont have
a much time to do longer treks in Annapurna region , you can cobble
together an interesting trek from parts of longer treks. Many fine
short treks begion and end near Pokhara and this is one of this.
After a stiff climb to Ghorepani for great views of Dhaulagiri and
Annapurna, this trek returns through Ghandruk, a large Gurung
village and headquater of ACAP( Annapurna Conservation Area Project)
There are a number of options for short treks in the foothills to
north of Pokhara. Most of these variations will visit Ghandrung and
Ghorepani. The former is a large,traditional Gurung village while
Ghorepani is the settlement below the famed vantage point of Poon
hill, one of the best spots from which to view the central Nepal
Himalayan range.
