Annapurna Royal Trek

This easy and enjoyable trek in the Pokhara region offers good mountain views, including Machhapuchhare and Annapurna without long trekking days or long steep ascents. This trek is ideal for those who have never tried trekking before and is suitable for families.As one is walking along the peaceful ranges with terraced hill all around, colorful fauna painting the landscape, eagles soaring high above, and the majestic Annapurna Himalayas towering all around, one can feel higher than royalty, discovering the natural height of being alive.The five days Annapurna Skyline Trek has been dubbed the 'Royal Trek' as Britain's prince Charles walked it in the 1980s. It's an excellent trek to do as it doesn't entail any particular long walking days and there's always plenty to see. It's beauty is one an alone. However, there are no village for accommodations along the route, thus people do this trek with guided trekking groups.
