## About

Experience the Annapurna region on a unique 9-day off-the-beaten-path trek designed for travelers seeking spectacular Himalayan scenery away from crowded routes. This newly developed trail connects the districts of Myagdi, Kaski, and Parbat, creating a scenic Pokhara-to-Pokhara journey through traditional villages, quiet forests, and high mountain ridges.

The route passes through beautiful Gurung villages such as Ghandruk and Landruk before climbing through rhododendron forests toward Mohare Danda and Ghodepani. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Nilgiri, and Machhapuchhre from peaceful ridge viewpoints.
Highlights include sunrise from Poon Hill, the dramatic ridge walk to Khopra Danda, and a challenging but rewarding hike to the sacred Khair Barahi Lake. Community lodges along the trail provide warm hospitality and support local mountain communities.

This trek operates well during spring, autumn, and winter, when clear skies and stable weather offer excellent mountain views.
