Ghandruk Loop Hiking Tour
Annapurna Ghandruk loop trekking is a relatively short-lived, comfortable, aesthetic and culturally rich trek in the Annapurna region. Annapurna Ghandruk loop trekking has no issues regarding high altitude sickness. This trek offers stunning views of Mt Annapurna south, Mt Fishtail and Mt Hinchuli as well as breathtaking landscapes. You will also get to traverse the extraordinary culture, traditions, and lifestyle of the Gurung inhabitants of Ghandruk village.
Annapurna Ghandruk Loop trek gives a complete introduction and insight to trekking in the Himalayan passes through the stunning foothills of Annapurna ranges, lush rhododendron forests, fascinating tiny villages, and picturesque terrace farmlands.
We begin the Annapurna Ghandruk Loop trekking at the vibrant city of Pokhara. We would also like to recommend this trek for children or elderly people who would like to trek as it does not require particularly long hiking days. During the trek, we will spend the nights at locally owned cozy mountain lodges. The trek guarantees breathtaking close-up views of Annapurna ranges like the Annapurna South, Hinchuli, Annapurna III, Gangapurna, Fishtail, Mardi Himal, etc.

Ghandruk Loop trekking amazing experience
We did a 3 day trek with Alpine Eco Trek in April 2018 and we were very happy with the excellent jobs from our guide Ramesh. Also, we want to thank Ram Kumar, the owner of this agency for his helpful and prompt feedback on email questions, flexible on the itinerary. Ramesh was great. Experienced guides with many stories to share took very good care of us, found great places to eat and stay. Ramesh was a perfect companion for the entire trip. We would definitely recommend both the guide Ramesh and Alpine Eco Trek to any friends planning their holidays to trek in the region.
