Annapurna Royal Trekking.
The Royal trekking trip is basically recommended by nepalvisitors.com for beginners or those who have very limited time, because they have an opportunity to experience the unforgettable trekking holidays in the Himalaya. This Royal trek presents a true picture of uniqueness and allowing us the chance to capture the traditional lifestyles of the tribes whose ancient religious practices and traditions have remained unchanged for thousands of years. This is the small trek in Annapurna region known as “The Royal Trek" because it is the route used by Prince Charles of England and luminaries like Mick Jigger. The trek starts from Pokhara after driving to Bijaypur Khola. The trek takes you on a four days loop through the Himalayan foothills and ends up in Begnas Lake after taking boat and drive back to Pokhara. This is a short and very enjoyable trek, especially for those who don't have time for a longer Himalayan trek or Expedition. The beauty of this trek is that it still offers spectacular views of Annapurna I, Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Machapuchre, Lamjung Himal, Dhaulagiri and other surrounding peaks and insight into simple village way of life.
