The journey involves no difficulty while climbing or ascents to high altitudes. The trek passes through lovely traditional Gurung villages and rhododendron forest at Dhampus and Ghandrung; a pleasant chance to observe the tradition and culture of the Nepalese countryside.

This Ghandruk loop trek starts and ends in the central city of Pokhara, a scenic flight from Kathmandu. An awesome journey over the center slopes takes you to Nayapul for the start of the journey.

The path follows steps that go through densely forested paths filled with pine, rhododendrons, and oak trees. This trek not only entices you with rich culture, but also offers a fantastic view of snowy mountains like Machhapuchhre (6993m), Annapurna South (7219m), Hiunchuli (6441m), and numerous different peaks.
