Panchase 6 days trekking
Panchase trekking is one of the best classic treks in western Nepal, around Pokhara. Why is panchase trekking popular for trekkers? because of its uniqueness and beautiful nature can obser the trekkers 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’s highest mountains 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 life. The small terraces in the sloppy and steep areas are quite interesting and worth observing.
A few things about this panchase trekking that make it so popular are: it’s closer to Pokhara city, & spectacular views can be seen during the whole trekking The region is enriched for cultural heritage “as well as” natural heritage and also three mountain over eight thousand meters above the sea level can be seen during trek. and also, 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.
