This trek is called the ‘Royal’ trek because Prince Charles once trekked the route, the trek is a short and easy one and a good introduction to trekking in the Himalayas.The trek begins near Pokhara and ends at the nearby Begnas Tal (lake). It is a beautiful route through some lovely countryside with fantastic views of The Annapurna Range. The trek ends 15km from Pokhara. With this itinerary, we have combined the trek with a wildlife safari in Chitwan National Park.
