3 days Short Trek to Ghandruk - Asia’s Most Picturesque Town

Ghandruk has been been enlisted in the names of the top 13 famous places of Asia by CNN. It is situated 2000m above sea level and they can observe various mountains from there. This place is also famous as the entry point of Annapurna Circuit. The entire village is surrounded by cultural and traditional vibes.
This is the best short trek for those who want to see the Himalayas in a close distance, yet who has only 3 days 2 night from Pokhara. We designed this Ghandruk Trek 3 days 2 night because we believe a lot of trekkers do not have enough time, yet want to experience the best in Annapurna region.
