For
those with only a few days to spare, the
Ghorepani trek is a colorful short foray
into the Annapurna region. This area north
of Pokhara offers one of the chance to see
one of the most dramatic views of some of
the highest and most beautiful mountains
in the world. The trail winds through
patchwork valleys, dense mossy forests and
past icy waterfalls. Around every corner
is a tantalizing glimpse of the high
mountains, whole horizons of which will be
revealed to you as you reach the high
points of your trek. Altitudinal and
climatic variation makes walking through
the area a naturalist dream. And you are
sure to encounter the legendary Gorkha
soldiers on the way.
