Panchase Trek
A unique attribute of this mid-hill region is that you will not see many other trekkers, only the vast ethnic diversity from this remote village of Panchase. Your trip highlight will include the majestic panorama of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Manaslu (all over 8000m). Panchase is a popular Nepalese pilgrim destination where locals pay their respects to their ancestors’ souls or worship the mountain gods. In the alpine meadows, near to Panchase, there is a pond, which is so clear. It is believed that even the birds pluck out the leaves on the surface. This area is home to Gurung people, traditional members of British Gurkha Army, who as descendants of Tibet, practice their own form of Buddhism. Experience the people and culture of Nepal along the Panchase Trek.
