Day 2 Explore Ghandruk Village with Local Culture

In the Annapurna region, Ghandruk is the second-largest Gurung village after Siklesh. If time permits, we plan to tour Gairi Goun, a community located farther south of Ghandruk that is significant for both its natural and traditional aspects. The village is located on the system of terraces used to raise wheat and barley. Wandering through the Old Gurung Museum and the natural area will provide you a great opportunity to learn about the social and natural evolution of this community as well as the way of life of the locals.

Day 3 Ghandruk to Nayapul and Drive to Pokhara

We leave early in the morning and head back to Pokhara after a small meal. You have the option of trekking back or just taking private transportation.

Ghandruk Village Trek

Not only is Ghandruk hamlet below the Annapurna conservation area, but it is also well-known among locals and foreign tourists for its abundance of natural beauty, as well as for its inhabitants’ unique way of life, customs, and culture. The scenery is entirely natural, with views of the Himchuli and Machhapuchhre mountains to the south. It is also a route for the Jomsom, Mustang, and Annapurna round treks. Ghandruk sees a lot of tourists all year long. The village is teeming with wildlife. The survey results indicate that the following:

  • 12,000 plants
  • 101 mammals
  • 474 birds
  • 100 orchids

Thus, it is sometimes referred to as the students’ free study space. Additionally, it is mentioned that Ghandruk has 87 hotels and lodges with 1032 guestrooms. The quantity of lodgings and hotels indicates that Ghandruk is a popular travel destination. Tourists will find the hamlet settlement of Ghandruk, which is located away from the main road and near the magnificent Himalayan peaks, to be incredibly charming due to its tranquil surroundings.

The village’s settlements are situated below the upper altitudinal limits of the arable land. Similar to Kathmandu, the residences are connected to one another and have two stories. In the past, everyone lived with their entire family. However, in the present, the trend of enlisting in the Indian and British armies has reached its pinnacle, and young, enthusiastic people are fleeing their homes and families to join the regiment in order to make a good and fulfilling livelihood.

The main draws of the area are also the distinctive clothing and habits of the locals.The Ghandruk area hosts various cultural events, including Rodhi, Ghatu, and Krishna Charitra. Any trekker, regardless of age, interest, or fitness ability, can complete the Ghandruk throughout the year. It’s one of the simplest that you may do with both young children and senior citizens.
