Tour Overview
Panchase Trek is a less crowded part of Annapurna This relatively easy Panchase Trek holiday brings you hiking exploration to nearby mountain villages in Pokhara valley. This tour is designed for people who would like to embark on a fun-filled trekking holiday that focuses on enjoyment and relaxation rather than strenuous walking. It was created for busy executives or families who would want a quick getaway into the hills to view impressive Annapurna peaks while sipping on some fine beverages from the hotel window. Trekking is not only fun, but it is beneficial for you. It helps in detoxifying the body while also nourishing the soul. Although to provide a better experience, we also tailor our meals to include superfoods as part of the ingredients to keep you fit and healthy while also assisting in acclimatization to high altitude.
