Trip overview
Panchase trekking over view
Panchase trekking is one of the best classic treks in western Nepal, around Pokhara. The trek is popular because of its uniqueness and beautiful nature that is seen during the trekking. The route goes through the ridge that stretches from Panchase hill to the surrounding areas. The trek can be started from several places like Peace Pagoda, Kande, Kushma & Karkineta and vice-versa. We can see some of the world highest mountain as well as some other peaks. The route goes through a lush green forest of Rhododendron, Pine and chestnut, which is very rich in flora & fauna. During the clear days, we can see the majestic Annapurna mountain range, Mt Manaslu in the east, Mt Dhaulagiri and Mt Gurja in the west.
This trek is fit for all physical levels because it has a mid-altitude and the terrain is also moderate. The best time for this trekking is from June to September. Except for the monsoon season because it’s the most raining territory in Nepal, so there are excessive amounts of leeches in the trail and the trail gets slippery & greasy. The walk goes through a few beautiful villages mostly inhabited by Gurung, Magar, Brahmin, Chhetri & Dalits . We can see local culture, customs and the way of living. The small terrace in the sloppy and steep areas are quite interesting and worth observing.
Few things about this Panchase trekking that makes it so popular are: – its close from city & spectacular view can be seen during the whole trek. The region is enriched for cultural heritage as well as natural heritage as three mountain over eight thousand meters can be seen during trek. The view of Mt. fishtail is amazing as it has a different shape, compared to other mountains. The highest elevation during the trek is 2517 m, at Panchase danda where there is a temple of a goddess. Thus, we don’t have to worry about altitude sickness.
