Who says trekking means roughing it?

Hiking at relatively low altitude in the Annapurna foothills from Ghatte Khola to Syauli Bazaar, you’ll pass through classic Nepali trekking landscapes of terraced rice paddies, rhododendron forests, traditional villages, fluttering prayer flags, and gigantic peaks you’ll never get tired of looking at. At the end of each day, unwind in cosy trekking lodges with ensuite bathrooms, hot showers, hearty meals and views like no other.
