The Ghandruk Trek is an excellent trekking option
for those with limited time in Nepal or who want to combine a relatively short
trek with other activities in Nepal. “The old Gurung village” of Ghandruk is
one of the trek's highlights. Staying in Ghandruk is a wonderful experience
because the village has a welcoming atmosphere with its culture and offers
breathtaking views of the Himalayan giants Annapurna Mountain, Hiunchuli Mountain, and Machapuchare
Mountain (Fishtail).
