Royal Trek 4 days
Description
In the late 1980s, Charles III (then the Prince of Wales) embarked on a multi-day trek with a group of around 90 people, exploring villages around Begnas and Rupa lakes in the northeastern Pokhara valley. This journey, now known as the ‘Royal Trek,’ became famous but has since been overshadowed by more popular treks in the region. Despite this, the Royal Trek remains an excellent option for a 4-day hike, offering easy trails through picturesque Gurung and Bahun villages, terraced paddy fields, lush forests, and breathtaking views of the Annapurna range and Machhapuchhre (Fish-Tailed Mountain).
