Royal Trekking is an easy and short trek that offers good mountains views. It got its name when after Prince Charles of the UK and his entourage of 90 guests trekked through this area in 1980s. The route is not frequented by many trekkers. It is, however, a lovely walk and not difficult with some lovely views of the Annapurna range in the background.
This six-day trek commences from Pokhara, the valley of lakes offering panoramic views of the Annapurna massif as also of the Manaslu Himal. This is the best trek for those who want to experience village life and striking mountain views in a relatively short period of time
