Ghandrung Teahouse trek
2 nights/ 3 days
Grade 2

Mount MachhapuchhareGhandrung teahouse trek is a short trek in the foothills of the Annapurna Himalayan range. The trek offers panaromic views of the Annapurna Massif, Machhapuchhare , Manaslu, Dhaulagiri and a host of other peaks. It is a moderate grade 2 trek, in other words a reasonably fit person can do it. The highpoint of the trek is the visit to the village of Ghandrung. It is inhabited by the Gurungs, the people who are famous as the Gorkhas in the British army. Ghandrung, the second largest village of the Gurungs looks beautiful with its orderly rows of slate-roofed houses clustered on a canyon wall.

The route on the trek goes through many settlements of hilly people, thus offering an insight into the culture of the region. The prevalent religion the inhabitants follow is either Hinduism or Buddhism.

MARCO POLO’S TEA HOUSE TREK:

These treks are done in popular and well-travelled areas. The tea houses are usually small basic lodges offering accommodation and food for travellers. We rely on these tea houses for food and shelter and thus require minimal equipment. Our experienced guides will select the best teahouse in the villages, and if required, will go ahead to find shelter in peak season. The tea houses are also a meeting point for trekkers from various parts of the world. These treks are economical, suitable for both youth and budget tourists.

A teahouse trek day starts with your guide knocking at your door in a teahouse at around 6:00 am in the morning. The breakfast served in the teahouse restaurant is usually at 7:00 am allowing you enough time to washup and pack up. The trek starts normally begins at 8:00 am. You will be accompanied by your guide and a porter. In average 3 hours of walking is covered before lunch at a teahouse usually in a settlement enroute. After lunch normally 3 more hours are covered before reaching the destination of the day. At the destination the guide selects an ideal teahouse and allocates a room/s for you. Dinner in the teahouse restaurant is around 7:00 pm before retiring for the night.

Our teahouse trekking packages are supported by highly experienced Sherpa guides and reliable porters. Our staffs are knowledgeable about and conscious of environmental protection.

Ghandrung Trek description:

Day 01:
The guide will meet you at your hotel at 8am and take you to Phedi, from where the trek starts. Trekking in Nepal normally means ascending uphill and descending downhill alternately. Likewise on this trek initially the trail takes one uphill to reach Dhampus. Dhampus offers magnificent view of Machhapuchhare. We trek further up to reach Pothana. Here we stop 1.5 hours for lunch. From Pothana the trail ascends to Deurali and then descends through the forest of Bhichuk to reach Tolkha. Here, the guide will arrange accommodation and dinner in a teahouse. The trail offers dramatic views of Machhapuchhare(6993m), Annapurnas, Lamjung, Manaslu(8157m) and Dhaulagiri(8167m) Himalayan peaks.
Day 02:
Wake – up call usually given at around 6 am. The breakfast is served around 7 a.m. The trek l starts at around 8 a.m. Initially the trail descends via the village of Landrung to Modi river - a permanent river formed from the glaciers of Annapurnas. Here, we cross a suspension bridge stop at Ghandrung besi for lunch. From thereon a flight of stone steps ascends upwards to Ghandrung. At Ghandrung the guide will allocate a teahouse to arrange accommodation and dinner.
Day 03:
Once again the breakfast is around 7 a.m. and the trek departure at around 8 a.m. The trail from Ghandrung descends downhill via stone steps and terraced fields to Syaulibhatti, where we stop for lunch. Then the route trails by the side of Modi river and at times through forests to reach Birethanti. Here, we cross a suspension bridge to reach Nayapul. Thus, the trek ends. A private transportation will be arranged for you to take you to your hotel in Pokhara. The guide will escort you till the hotel and check you in.
