Annapurna Royal Trek is the perfect choice for those with limited time to spend in the Himalayas. Also best for the first-time trekkers with easier walking conditions and good facilities along the way. Just six days long, this trek is a good opportunity to get into the trekking groove. Best to see some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Annapurna Royal Trek.

Rest assured, by compromising on the time you are not compromising on views. The royal trek allows you some spectacular vantage points of the majestic Annapurna Mountains, and also includes a pass along Begnas Tal, a beautiful lake that attracts an abundance of birdlife, including eagles and other birds of prey that come to fish at this lake. The route made famous and aptly named the Annapurna Royal Trek when the Prince Charles of Britain trek in the same route before marriage in 1981. Traveling through the villages set among the cultivated fields and meeting the people is quite an unforgettable experience. This four days trek commences from Pokhara, the valley of lakes offering panoramic views of the Annapurna massif as also of the Manaslu Himal.
