The Panchase village trekking is also well known for its array of bird and wildlife.
This trekking starts from near the lakeside in Pokhara travelling before entering the main Annapurna trekking route. This route gives excellent views of the Himalaya with Phewa Tal in the foreground. We pass through many villages and you will have ample time to take photographs and interaction with the local people.
Language is not a big problem as many of the local people can communicate in English. There are many different ethnic groups along the trail, but the predominant people in this area are the Gurungs. Together with the Magar and Chetry peoples, the Gurungs are famous as soldiers in the British Army, better known as Gurkhas.
