Annapurna Royal Trek Overview

The Annapurna Royal Trek goes around in the backdrop of the Annapurna region with a superb view of the mountains such as Annapurna, fishtail, and Manaslu.

This short trek of 8 days got its name - 'Royal' because Prince Charles of England with his 90 other fellow members had explored this route in the year 1981.

This trek starts from Kalikastan, about half an hour drive from Pokhara and this trail follows beautiful Gurung settlements, small hamlets, terraced farms and lush green forests.

Generally, in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, we arrange basic three-star facilities. If available, you can opt for a more budget-friendly option or upgrade to a more luxurious hotel by paying a little extra. 

Although all the places might not have all the modern facilities, we will make sure to arrange safe and comfortable accommodation. In general, hygienic and safe tea houses/local lodges/ home-stays with all the basic facilities are arranged. But you can, if possible, personalize according to your preference. 

Meals

Breakfast is usually included with your B&B Accommodation within the cost that is evident.

For other meals in the city, you would have to pay separately. Often in the cities, you can choose from many different cuisines and varied food services. We can always help you find the right place to fit your taste.

In more remote areas, usually, there are not many options. But you can always find hygienic and well-prepared food. Moreover, almost all the meals during the trek are included in the cost. We can help you make changes according to your preference and budget, but only if choices are available!
