Royal Treks : Royal Homestay Trekking in Nepal !!
Royal home stay trek offers you splendid views of Annapurna south, Himchuli, Lamjung Himal, Manaslu, Fishtail & Annapurna I II III IV. An easy hiking trip just around the Pokhara valley. Recommended as the winter trip and the trip for family or with children. Since the trip is not going that height. Made famous when Prince Charles of Britain before marriage trekked the same route in 1981, the route has been aptly named the ‘Royal Trek’. Traveling through the villages set among the cultivated fields and meeting the people is quite 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. This route was first trekked by the Prince of England, Wales in 1980 and hence is known as the ‘Royal Trek’. This is the best trek for those who want to experience village life and striking mountain views in a relatively short period of time.

Guest feedback / Testimonials !!
My first trek...will definitely do another. We did Royal trekking and as well as 2 days sightseeing in Pokhara valley. Gokyo Treks and their crew were very professional in organizing the trek. There were no hassles. Our guide Som was very good and made the trip enjoyable. The local people were friendly and the views were superb. I suggest people undertake a few months worth of preparation before going on a trek, especially if you have a desk job for a living. It will make the trip a lot more enjoyable.
I would definitely use these guys again.
