Although it’s called the Royal Trek, your legs will still complain on the first day. The Annapurna Royal Trek is short and much easier than most treks in Nepal, but it still gives a little workout and rewards with amazing scenery. The trail starts near Pokhara, a calm lakeside city, and goes through villages where locals might wave or look curious, wondering why strangers are walking through their fields. The air is fresh, the mountains feel huge, and the views are so stunning that stopping to take photos becomes a full time activity.
The trek earned the “Royal” name because Prince Charles walked this route back in 1980. Today, travelers follow the same path to enjoy views of the Annapurna range and the famous Machhapuchhre peak. Along the way, it is possible to meet locals, watch village life in action, and feel completely connected to nature. The Annapurna Royal Trek is fun, light on stress, and full of moments that make walking through the mountains feel unforgettable.

Annapurna Royal Trekking Detail
The Annapurna Royal Trek starts from vibrant Pokhara to the Lake City of Nepal. The one-hour drive from Pokhara will take you to the Kalikasthan from where you will start your walking in the trail. The trail is famously known as Royal Trek because around the late 80s Prince Charles with his 90 entourage trekked in the route to find out the ex and present British Gurkhas families. Trekking on a trail trekked by the monarch himself would also make you feel like a king or queen.
Furthermore, the impeccable hospitality and quality service provided by the Nepal Trekking Routes Treks family would add a gloss to your luxurious trekking in the region. The trail passes by the villages of Gurung, Magar, and some Thakali people along with Brahmin and Chhetri tribes of Nepal. The chance to conduct Small Group Adventure Trekking would be materialized here in Annapurna Royal Trek.
The villages with the traditions and rituals unchanged for a century help you know about the self-respect, courtesy, and dignity in your life. It always feels good as a traveler to live like locals, sleep like locals, and eat like locals experiencing the authentic taste of most people. The magnificent view of the mountains like Annapurna, Fishtail, and surrounding Himalayan ranges is the bonus of this trekking, and the green lush forests, caves as well as streams along the trail help you get back every penny you spent for the trekking in Nepal.
The trekking finally ends at beautiful Begnas Lake in the suburban area of Pokhara. The lake is so beautiful and pristine that too would help you forget all the pains and hardships endured along the trail.
