Superb and wild, this trek cuts through a less traveled country south of Annapurna II, and Lamjung Himal massif. Good mountain views and rough terrain, the local people are unaccustomed to trekkers. This trek is a spectacular short trek of low land villages and rice terraces up to 3000 m where there are the biggest Gurung (Gurkhas) villages. One other highlights are flower forests of rhododendrons.
