Gorkha to Pokhara Trek

Gorkha to Pokhara Trek is an easy trek providing a wonderful insight into Nepalese rural life with few uphill climbs of any significance. There are many alternative routes going West. A northern route provides a trek close to the mountains of Manaslu (7945 m.), Himalchuli, Buddha Himal (6674 m.) with a side trip to Baraha Pokhari, a fine high-altitude lake. The more direct southern route to Pokhara allows a visit to the ancient town of Ghorkha with its large Bazaar. This route attracts novice trekkers and walkers and nature lovers because of its lower altitude although their are some very good views of the Himalayas without actually having to ascend into them.
