Overview of Panchase Trek
Peaceful eco-trek around Pokhara through sacred oak forests, blooming wild orchids, and pilgrimage shrines with views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu.
The Panchase Trek is one of the best short cultural eco-treks in the Annapurna foothills. Rising south-west of Phewa Lake, Panchase Peak (2,517m) is a revered pilgrimage site surrounded by dense biological corridors home to over 100 species of wild orchids, medicinal plants, and colorful birds. The trail commands expansive vistas of three 8,000-meter giants: Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, and Manaslu.
A relaxing 4-day loop starting with a boat ride across Phewa Lake, trekking through Bhumdi, Panchase Bhanjyang, and Bhadaure back to Pokhara.
