This Ghandruk Loop trek will take you to one of the popular trekking destinations of Nepal, the Annapurna region, and to the beautiful village of Ghandruk. Ghandruk is the village of Gurung community located in the high Himalayas in the western Nepal.
From the village, one can witness the majestic panorama of the mountains like Annapurna South, Gangapurna, Annapurna III, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre etc. An old museum featuring Gurung’s culture and tradition is also at Ghandruk.

Initially, the trek beings from Pokhara with a drive to Phedi and you trek towards Ghandruk crossing Dhampus.

As an experienced hiker, I can confidently say that the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a must-do for any outdoor enthusiast. The trail was well-maintained and the scenery was out of this world. Just make sure to pack enough warm layers for those chilly nights!
Bhutan is well-known for some of the best and most exciting trekking trails in the Himalayan region. Many tourists visit Bhutan to explore the untouched beauty of the mountains – best experienced on foot. The Druk Path trek is one of the finest short trekking routes in Bhutan. Connecting the valleys of Paro and Thimpu, the trail leads over high passes on an ancient trading route, passing through spectacular rhododendron forests, alpine yak pastures and beautiful lakes stocked with snowy mountain trout.
The trek begins via apple orchards and pine forests past a ruined Jele Dzong (fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge overlooking breathtaking views of Mount Jumolhari to the north. In the next four days, we climb above the tree line and cross several passes including the Phume La (4210m). En route, we come across amazing clear mountain lakes, a number of yak herder’s camps and the splendid view of the Himalayas. At the end of the trail, descend through the pine and juniper forests via Phadjoding monasteries and head to the capital of Bhutan.
Excellent experience with our guide and porters. They were able to accommodate quick changes in our plans when some of our members showed symptoms of AMS. They are also some of the fittest people I have ever met and are kind and entertaining at the same time. It was a pleasure to learn about their culture. If you ever get the opportunity, see if you can learn and play Baghchal.
Loved this trek. You visit some very remote places where traditional Nepali lifestyles are maintained. The combo of jungle and high altitude Himalayan mountain scenery gives you a comprehensive view of the Nepali landscape.
My guide Kuldhur Bahadur Gharti Magar and porter Chhoten Sherpa did an amazing job and I would highly recommend their services. They provided great options to supplement the itinerary based on my energy levels every day.
