Annapurna panorama trek (3-5 days) (max. elevation 3210 meters) is one of the most popular treks in Nepal because of its incredible views and accessibility from Pokhara, with good infrastructure along the way. Although there are some steep steps, it is not an incredibly demanding trek. There are comfortable (though basic) lodges the whole way, with a variety of meals to choose from in the tea houses. The trek itself is pleasant, taking you through local villages and rhododendron forest.

A similar, less touristic route is the Annapurna Community Home stay trek, which peaks at Mohare Danda (3320 meters). It has almost the same views, landscape and culture, but without the crowds. A network of home stays and community lodges ensure homely comforts. The trek is not too physically challenging, and can be done in around five days. The Royal Trek (so named because Prince Charles walked this route in the 1980s) is an alternative that doesn’t climb so high (1700 meters). The three-four day trek starts to the north of the Pokhara Valley, and passes through Gurung villages. There are views of the Annapurna’s route, and the trek ends at Begnas Lake, a peaceful alternative to Pokhara’s more developed lakeside.
